Am I missing something or is arc 3.0 titan overrated? Arc hunter is clearly better.

Spent the last week trying to perfect the Striker build around the Heart of Inmost Light exotic after hearing how “broken” it is but after all the hype (and much shards and upgrade modules spent) I’m not really seeing it. Admittedly, my build is compromised due to not having the elemental charge mod for Firepower x3 to work (and the other mods I have for becoming charged with light are too inconsistent) so I have to find other ways of getting my grenades back. However, my issue is less so mods but more that it seems like it takes far too much manual fiddling to work; it’s not really intuitive. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen some titans absolutely shred in high end content but it seems like an eye straining, high stress playstyle in master content relying on all your other abilities to charge fast so you can truly make the most out of the storm grenade. You’re doing in three button presses what I’d rather be doing in one and that's way too much time on high levels. Yes, the damage it does to bosses is insane but I don't think it's that fun outside of that. This is why I much prefer the Arcstrider. More specifically, the Shinobu’s Vow and Liar’s Handshake builds are extremely fun. The former is a great ad clearer - it seeks enemies immediately, jolts and chains so they are stunned for ages and if it somehow doesn’t finish the job you can just pull out Brigand’s Law with the voltshot perk (best arc special in the game right now) and finish them off while stunning them again. You can literally just spam grenades all day and use a shotgun in the primary slot with demolitionist perk to get them back. Not to mention you get your super back so fast - I once had my super up 4 times in gambit! You also have infinite powered melee as well without having to build into melee so that’s a great backup in those rare moments of downtime. On that note, the Liar’s Handshake build is great as well with its high risk high reward approach and is excellent on bosses, especially in conjunction with the tractor cannon and a one two punch shotgun. I’m actually missing mods for my hunter builds too so I can only imagine how powerful once actually complete. I haven’t tried arc 3.0 Stormbringer yet but most warlocks I’ve rolled with do really well with it despite hearing some complaints that they got the short end of the stick. But yeah, point is I'm not seeing the hype with arc 3.0 titan and would be interested to know why titan mains are enjoying it so much? EDIT: Just tried Arc 3.0 Warlock and even that is way more fun than the Titan. Not as fun as the Arcstrider but certainly close.
