Titan jet thruster feels a bit undertuned
It really feels like it was meant to be a 30 second cooldown twilight garrison, but they chose to roll it back and made it grounded, which is totally fine imo. However, the way it is now, it kinda just feels klunky and slow, and just acts as a worse hunter dodge, or a much more expensive warlock dash. I should also preface this saying that I am very much a pve player.
My initial impression was that it’d be a much shorter cooldown, and would me meant to synergize with the new aspect, giving an overshield for fast paced gameplay. However, it’s cooldown is only 2 seconds shorter than rally barricade, making it kinda hard to justify using just for the cooldown.
Additionally, as a movement tool, it feels quite bad. I find myself wanting to chain it with my other movement abilities, trying to slide, into a shoulder charge, into a dash. However, the dash’s animation puts you at a complete stop for a moment after you use it, making it difficult to chain it into a slide, or to sprint away, or anything that would allow you to get out of a tough spot, which is what the ability seems to be meant for. In this case, it would be nice if it carried the user even just a bit farther, propelling the user a distance akin to a shoulder charge or behemoth punch would be really fun. I think that as far as fluid movement goes, it would be fun if shoulder charge and jest thrusters could animation cancel one another, allowing more options for quickly traversing the map.
As it sits now, it is just a worse hunter dodge. It would be nice if the titan’s dodge in turn had some secondary effect in line with hunters. Hunter dodge can make teammates radiant, restore a melee charge, or reload your weapons. I personally think it would be nice for it to give some sort of enhanced mobility, possibly granting the speed boost effect instantly, allowing you to get the buff outside of combat, and without needing to sprint, doing nothing for 3 seconds. Or maybe it could give some sort of ability regen, possibly producing a trace, or giving a bump akin to wellspring. Arc titans run off of melee charges, so if melee hunters can run their build off their dodge, it’s not overpowered for titans to get s little bump.
If any of these things would be too strong for pvp, it could be pretty easily balanced by only activating while amplified.
I think the jet thruster ability has the potential to be really cool, but as it is, it kinda just isn’t doing it for me.

Bro use hunter builds on titan

9 RepliesTitans get a dodge and you complain... Typical.

15 RepliesYeah it's essentially a crappy dodge with a longer cool down and no additional perks, but I'll take it over the barricade any day. That's how OP the hunter dodge is.

I think part of my issue with it is, I'm so used to not having an escape route in the form of a dodge, that I just play extremely close to cover anyways, so I don't really need something like it. Barrier fits my playstyle better; I'll just use SC as a makeshift dodge if I really wanted to.

9 RepliesSeems like free movement to me.. lol imagine finally getting a movement class ability and not having to spec into mobility in order to get max cooldown speed but rather get it by spec into resilience. Smh.. Real problem is ONLY hunters spec into mobility and only hunters for go either resilance or recovery to do so. Warlock oh I'll run 2 mob 10 res 10 rec Titan oh I'll run 2 mob 10 res 10 rec Hunters oh I'll run 10 mob 4 res 10 rec or 10 mob 10 res 4 rec hunters be like damn we getting screwed and wait what? We're the slowest class at 10 mob and our movement exotic is the only one that got nerfed... Bruh... I think titans should have mobility tied to their new movement class ability not resilance... Seems fair right?

Edited by mayo68: 8/29/2022 5:04:41 AMIt has purpose at times, but its real value is grenade boost. Double bomber on your mark. Your welcome.

3 RepliesTitans aren't meant to have something as strong as Hunters ground movement and Warlocks aerial movement. Be grateful you got a dash in the first place.

2 RepliesI don’t know about that. I’ve been breaking ankles since it came out and it’s been awesome! Just slide into Shoulder Charge and the 2xO and you’re right in their face!
-
Thruster is godly. Combo it after a sholuder charge for superb mobility.
-
I mean look at hunter dodge it’s been nerfed into the ground We just aren’t allowed nice things my man 🤷♂️
-
I was disappointed that you couldn't dodge min air but even though I have outplayed a couple of players in pvp with it.
-
As much as I like it I'm not entirely sure it's worth not having a barricade at your disposal. Like imagine in a GM you can dodge the bosses attack but can't put up a safety in front of your teammates res. I guess it's more pvp oriented but even then still I like having a barricade to block off doorways or something

1 Replyor you know, you could just play hunter at this point instead of wanting hunter dodge on titan lmfao

I like it! It took some getting use to at first because I’m so use to not having an evade like that but now I’m enjoying it. Now my two things I’d like from it. 1. Crest of Alpha Lupi’s perk should proc with it. 2. Should break aim assist like the hunter dodge. (Not sure if it does already, if so forget it)

It’s fine.

I thought I was the only one thinking this I use it and he Dodges to the side like 5 ft and then it takes a little while to come back it'd be better if it was like the hunter ones and it buffed your weapons or reload or melee or something instead you just lazily shift way or the other

Edited by StarSol: 8/28/2022 4:28:01 AMAs a Titan main. Just spam side jump strafe lift. It's been getting me out of trouble for years. The thruster is very welcome because it's quicker. I actually think it's pretty useful considering it is purely optional to the barricade. I'd rather be a Titan with a barricade or thruster option than a Hunter with ONLY a dodge option. Even if it means making the Thruster not as strong. The mere option alone is good enough without buffs tied to it. I'm definitely glad they added it in. To make it any stronger I feel would infringe upon Hunters too much.

Yeah no thanks I’m not giving up my barricade
-
Edited by BITCOINxMILLIONAIRE: 8/28/2022 2:40:11 AMit's good in 6v6 and survival. Need to use barricade in trials. Rally barricade for pve. Or use it with heart of inmost light for faster cooldowns.
-
4 RepliesIt feels fine to me. I’m still going to pick barricade over it most of the time, but that’s because I find barricade to be the strongest class ability.
-
I think it’s great and I kind of like that it’s clunky. We are walking armories as Titans… we should be clunky. My only gripe is the forward thrust. I wish it didn’t interrupt the running animation.

Edited by Dregslayer: 8/28/2022 1:20:10 AM100 res 18 seconds cooldown 2 utility Kickstart it's like 13 14 Heart of inmost light with 1 stack 8 sec 2 stack 5 seconds. If you're a titan main heart is all you'll ever need. Hands down best exotic :) put it on...there's all the regen you'll need. I always have abilities with in 10 seconds or less. The dodge now makes it that I don't have to stop moving and the cooldown is a little less so it makes everything better.

Edited by YeojTheKrab: 8/28/2022 12:51:18 AMMaybe it’s just my own interpretation, but I wouldn’t compare it to the hunter dodge. The first/third person peakin, and weapon ready speed/accuracy after the initial use sets them apart.
