Making a Titan, Striker or Defender?
Starting with Defender, looked at the perks, sounds fun for PvP and PvE, what subclass do you guys use?
-
Edited by GraciousEel761: 5/13/2015 10:41:54 PMI voted Defender, because I use it a lot more often. When I first started playing, I only used Defender sparingly. When I finished leveling Striker, I began to put more time into Defender and it turned out to be a better subclass in my opinion. I find that offensive capabilities aren't as valuable as defensive ones, because defensive capabilities are much less common. A striker can sometimes get some great Fist of Havoc moments, but usually its just a one-kill. I value the Magnetic grenades of Defenders very highly and get kills with them all the time, way more than Striker grenades which generally suck. Void of Dawn has basically two uses: Panic button, and beat down arena. It is also a PvE buff for armor or damage, but mainly its a last resort to keep you alive or rez an ally, or in the case of PvP, a little arena for you to beat down anyone who tries to challenge you. I love getting kills in this thing. The most I've gotten with one shield so far is 5. Void Shield together with Force Barrier makes you literally invincible in the Void of Dawn, and anyone ignorant enough to challenge you will suffer the humiliation of a two hit beat down. I really only use striker now for the bounties, and it takes a long time.

Both. Both are equally fun. You like punch things? Titan.
-
I generally run striker as it's more fun but i use defender for nightfalls and raids
-
5 Repliesi got a question about the defenders final lift upgrade. how is it any better then having the second one that gives you more height on your jump?
-
Defender = orbs for days
-
Ur gonna want a striker for pvp and defender for pve
-
I maxed them both out and use what makes me happy that day. Both are fun though I generally run as a striker.
-
Defenders are nice for raids
-
2 RepliesI used to always use defender but now the only time I use it is in VOG and CE, striker is useful in most other places

Unless your group NEEDS Ward for a certain situation, Striker always because Flashbangs. Best grenade in the game.
-
I find Defender comes in handy more for when you do Nightfalls and raids. Striker is fun to use for general use. It's the same when deciding whether to use Sunsinger or Voidwalker.
-
PvE, Defender. PvP, both are viable and good. Defender is good for both PvE and PvP so level that up first.
-
PvE Defender, PvP Striker.
-
I love both sub classes for different reasons , defender for force barrier and war machine weapons of light is cool but so is armor of light. Currently I've fell in love with striker for lightning grenades in pvp and you can't beat becoming a tactical missile with death from above!
-
Striker is probably the funnest class in the game in my opinion. Using death from above with fist of havoc is the best, even if you miss it's just so worth it.
-
Striker is way more fun

Edited by Masamitsu77: 5/3/2015 1:03:45 PMTwo words: shoulder charge... for the striker :) no hate plz
-
Both, depending on what your doing one works better than the other
-
Pve defender.
-
I have decided that Titan = Master race
-
Essentially, defender is phenomenal for PvE and striker is excellent for PvP. You're gonna want to upgrade both eventually anyways so it doesn't really matter what you start with
-
2 RepliesI think this decision needs to be based on what kind of player you are. Will you be playing regularly with a fire team or going solo most of the time? If solo I'd say striker--that's my style of play and it's a lot of fun. If you'll be doing more fire team then def defender
-
Since I usually run strikes, raids, etc., I use Defender. (Also good in casual PvP) It's an excellent support class with great abilities. When I'm going solo, I sometimes use Striker. But Defender is better by far.
-
2 RepliesDefender is the most handy in raids and nightfall and just In general . But striker is great fun HULK SMASH!!!!!!
-
1 ReplyI'm a full time defender. Most op and underrated class in pvp.
