Ward of Dawn, or Defender in general, needs a big update. Reason being... It is next to worthless in Crucible. Anyone that plays a Defender knows that more than half of the time you actually use it, it instantly gets destroyed. Other supers can completely ignore it, making it not so super at all. Going back to the title, this is a better way to explain it. When you see a Bladedancer pull out his magic knife, or a Gunslinger pull out his shiny pistol, or when a Sunsinger decides to go all Space Jesus after you killed him, or a Striker/Voidwalker jump into the air towards you.. The first word that comes to your mind is "... Sh!t." Defender doesn't have that. Most of the time people dance in front of us and are smart enough to wait it out. That's not even fair.

I used to think this but as I waited for it to drop and rush forward with a team mate another came around and shot gunned us. Not everything needs to be about quick destruction. I think Defender is useful because it takes charging forward out of the equation a bit.

I gotta say this is my favorite thing to do. I get a sick thrill from it every time.

If you don't like the class in pvp don't use it, my god, not everything in this game was designed for pvp only. The defender class is fine, change the way you use it if you don't like it or don't use it and change to the striker class. And of course people are going to wait outside the bubble if you place it down, it's smart.

You need to better at using it.
