Why No New Jump Ability For Sunbreaker Titans? Here's My Idea.

Anyone else disappointed that the Titan is not going to have a new jump ability? I was excited to hear about the new Titan Sunbreaker in The Taken King. I absolutely love my Titan alt and can't wait to wield a fiery hammer! But when I heard there wasn't any new Jump ability, I was so disappointed. I know Titans are supposed to be "slow, lumbering, armored tanks", but why not give them a Jump that could even the playing field with Hunter's and Warlock's Blink? Then I started doing some thinking. With my current living situation, I spend a lot of time driving. I don't mind it so much because I do a lot of thinking. I like creating ideas. Brainstorming. I love Destiny and its universe, and I like to create scenarios and mechanics about the game. (some day I might share ALL my Destiny ideas here if this first post takes off, lol) And then I came up with what a new Titan Jump Ability should be ... I call it "Afterburner". It's very similar to Blink, except it's not a short range teleport. It's basically the Titan channeling their Solar ability to give them a burst of speed like a fighter jet (hence the name), leaving a trail of fire in their wake. This ability would take the place of Catapult in the Sunbreaker skill tree. Think of it as feeling like a Shoulder Charge (without melee damage), but faster and covers a farther distance. Even the name "Afterburner" fits perfectly with the theme of the Solar Sunbreaker. I don't see it being as fast as Blink, but at least Titans would have some fighting chance to level the playing field a little bit when it comes to maneuvering in the air against Hunters/Warlocks. So what do you guys think? Titans in the forums, what say you? Or, after reading my idea, can you think of your own for a new Titan Jump for Sunbreakers? If Taken King is still in a state where changes can still be made before it's release date, could we get Bungie's attention and make them take a step back and go, "Hmmm ... that's a damn good idea. Let's do it!"? Come on, everyone ... let's be heard! --------------------------------------- I originally posted ^this in #classes to get conversations going with Titans, but a bunch of commenters who loved my idea said I should also post here in #feedback to really get Bungie's attention. Original post is here: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/136861481/1/0[/url] To simplify my post, here are some bulletpoints: - New Titan Jump Ability called "Afterburner" to compete with Blink - Works similar to Blink, except instead of a teleport it's a fiery dash instead - It does NOT do any melee damage whatsoever (not to be confused with a Shoulder Charge) - Replaces Catapult in the Sunbreaker skill tree I'd love to hear your comments, and thanks for reading! :)

  • It should of been a mega jump that does damage close enough on the ground. Wont work if the the enemy is in the air.

  • This is exactly what I had in mind to create a blink alternative for titans. Titans blinking would look weird because they are too bulky. (I know lots of People like to call them fat to add an insult.) As it stands right now, titans don't have much going good them in pvp. A short range panic super, a protective bubble that gets destroyed by any other super. No way to make clutch evades due to no blink ability. Which means easy victims of anything. A shoulder charge that takes like 2 secs of ruuning to charge and during the impact, you get shotgunned and they live even though you know you hit them, a short range melee which just doesn't work with all these sniper shotguns.

        • But then how is it a jump? Do they like jump once an the second jump they go straight forward in mid air then just drop? Remember it's a jump so it's gotta take u off the ground somehow to. Because just like blink it takes u off the ground. Nice idea though I like it. Just think about how it's gonna elevate u off the ground.

            The Titan had better get a decent jump, cause as much as I like using catapult in Crucible to escape blinkers(its friggen hilarious to out-jet 'em), I'd like to stick it to 'em with a jetpack and be all "Taste of your own medicine b*tch?!" *BOOM*. EDIT: Also why the hell is the subclass being called "Sunbreaker"? So we're being named after a set of Warlock gauntlets... are we just lapdogs to the Warlocks or something? Why not call it "Flare Wraith", "Solar Wraith", "Solar Warrior", "Warrior's Flame", etc.???

          • The expansion is still in process. They probably didn't want to give up all the goods.

          • ....so I'm just gonna point out that as far as we have seen NONE of the new subclasses get a whole new jump ability. So no, titans are not getting in any worse but also not getting a new jump. Furthermore on the complaints of no blink...if jumps were the only abilities every class got saying its the only class to not have it would be a fair argument. However when you haven't tested every ability and combo its very possible blink wouldn't fit balance wise on the sunbreaker. Especially when it does have a ranged attack, if anything the sunbreaker has even less need for a gap closer like blink when they don''t need to close gaps at all.

            • How about a single high jump that can be sort of charged? Charge Jump! Simply jumping will result in a jump slightly lower than the hunters double jump without higher/direction jump applied, and holding A/X for 2 seconds will increase the jump to height higher than the hunters higher jump when released. Either jump only triggers after release A/X so it can be used for an immediate jump or A/X can be held for 2 seconds even while sprinting. When the jump is charged for the 2 seconds, the Titan will give off a fiery aura similar to Golden Gun or Radiance. As a cool visual effect, upon charge jumping, you'll trail solar particles and give off a similar "burning" sound to Golden Gun and Radiance while the charge jump is held.

            • the 1 thing I cannot understand about the taken king's new classes is that they have lost there imagination with the new titan sub classes name "Sunbreaker", correct me if I am wrong but this word has already been used for Warlock gauntlets "Sunbreakers", the Hunter gets a nifty title "Nightstalker" and the warlock gets a rock band name "Stormcaller". Why does the titan sub class not have a new name rather than a pre existing one?

              • i think the titan does get a different jump. i was watching gameplay yesterday it looks like it gets the double jump like a blade dancer. and if I'm wrong that would be cool
