There is no DPS class!!!
I cringe every time I read something about Hunters being a DPS class or Titans being a tank. Y'all are ridiculous!!! I laugh every time I read someone's post saying they picked this or that class for the DPS! Or that they're gonna "roll" this or that class first! Well. I laugh. And then it really annoys me.
Yes, Destiny has "raids". Yes, I know you played WOW and/or are familiar with RPG or MMO lingo. Good for you. Hardly any of it applies to Destiny - at all!!!
This game is a shooter, first and foremost. For the vast majority of the time, your damage will be from your guns. We all use the same guns. No class has a magical bonus to bullet damage.
All of our supers do a lot of damage, each with strengths in different situations. Differences in supers do not merit lumping a class into a traditional MMORPG role! Yes, Defender and Sunsinger admittedly have a good super for support and they'll certainly be helpful for team play, but you'll never be able to spam cast the damn things.
Yes, titans start with more armor, but it's negligible when it comes to actual firefights. Do you honestly think a Titan will ever be able to sit and tank?! No.
I dunno. I just think it's silly and a waste of time to try and discuss this game in traditional MMORPG terms. Oh, and annoying.
Rant over.

3 RepliesDps is damage per second. A dps class focuses on raw damage, nothong else. It can't do anything else. From what we know of the sub classes hunter is a dps class, no matter what sub class your in the only thing you do is damage and lots of it. Titans as tanks fits perfectly with the generalised term for a tank. A high armour, high health character who's job is to get on the enemy's face. Yes there is no aggro table like mmorpgs have but assuming everything is equal on 3 guardians and a boss fires a homing projectile that has to hit a party member which do you choose? The warlock that will likely die outright, the hunter who is going to be critically wounded that they have to hide so not doing any damage or the tanky high armour titan than takes maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of their health? There are no healing sub class, that we know of and even if there was it wouldnt be mmorpg healer, its more like support sub class. While some mmorpg terms aren't applicable most are you just have to understand what people mean by them.
