Sunbreakers: More like "Rulebreakers." In depth analysis of the "tank" class in Destiny and what that actually means.

[i]This thread is a response to another post claiming that Radiant skin is comparable to Hammer of Sol.[/i] ================================== Sunsingers with Radiant Skin are not comparable to Sunbreakers. Sunbreakers throw 1HKO hammers and heal on kill. Sunsingers just throw grenades and get one (2 with claws) 1 hit kill melee. That's not even close to the same thing. Also, the armor bonus is NOT the same. I know because I have mained a warlock since launch and I can tell you even with max armor, a ram, AND a solar chest piece, you'll still get destroyed by a single sniper headshot. The only way you could possibly survive a sniper headshot is IF you had flame shield active AND full health. Sunbreakers don't have to do anything special like that. They just automatically survive sniper headshots and golden gun. [b]THEY ARE THE ONLY SUPER THAT CAN DO THIS.[/b] Sunsingers used to be able to tank golden gun with the ram and guess what happened? [b]Golden Gun got buffed AND the Ram got nerfed.[/b] Why? Because you are not supposed to be able to survive a GG shot under [i]any[/i] circumstances. You only get 3 GG shots for a reason! To put things in perspective for you, imagine if Sunsingers could run around the map like maniacs throwing 1 shot Firebolts that dealt massive AOE, healed on kill, and the ram had it's old armor bonus, and GG was never buffed. Do you have any idea how many people would be screaming nerf? This excuse of "titans have had the worst super for a year" is total bs. Just because they never had a run around super doesn't mean they should just get god mode in year 2. Bladedancers used to be op as hell and guess what? THEY GOT NERFED. Their armor stat was WAY too high, so Bungie lowered it. "But, but...titans are supposed to be the tank class!" Okay fine. They can be the tank class. But you know something about tank classes? They are supposed to specialize in soaking up damage and being slow as hell. You ever heard of rock type Pokémon? Amazing defense at the cost of speed, with decent attack. But Sunbreakers completely break the tank rules. They have the best defense in the game, the highest mobility in the game (with titan skating), the best recovery ability in the game (ANY ability heals), long range lethality, AOE 1 shot capability, highest ammo capacity for a super, and longest DURATION of a super (27 seconds!) So basically this "tank" super is stacked on attack, defense, speed, recovery, ammo capacity, and range. But it's "fair and balanced?" Um yeah no. As z Anonymous said, it [i]is[/i] getting nerfed. It's only a matter of time. I just gave several logical and factual reasons why the Sunbreaker class is unique apart from every other class. If you're going to respond, respond with facts and logic, not insults. Have a good day.
