[b]The Striker has many problems in PvP:[/b]
Too slow to compete with faster classes?
Shoulder Charge designed to slay noobs only? Totally inferior to Bladedancer's high speed sprint/slide/shogtun/stab?
Shoulder Charge needs a cooldown?
Storm Fist sucks?
Unusable perks and a forced armor/agility approach? (Forced to use Titan Codex VI and Shoulder Charge to be effective. Aftermath is like bombing the city you just nuked... pointless)
[b]How to fix Striker in 3 easy steps:[/b]
1. Make Storm Fist a nearly 1-hit kill (1-hit with Discharge) or 1-hit kill.
2. Replace Shoulder Charge with just Charge, a higher speed sprint.
3. Remove the "Spawn with melee energy" effect from "An Insurmountable Skullfort." That helmet is currently inferior, but it might ascend to godhood with these changes.
This would make the Striker the CQB champion he's meant to be.
This would reduce Shoulder Charge spam.
This would allow players to choose between Shoulder Charge, Juggernaut, or Unstoppable depending on their playstyle.
This would make Storm Fist's perks better without changing them.
This would make up for the Striker's low speed, bad double jump, and weak super.
If you have a problem with this, or a better idea, comment below!
[b]Update:[/b] I'm glad I finally got some feedback!
I'm pressing these few simple changes because if Bungie implemented them it would [u]reduce Titan's 1-hit power, increase CQB viability, and allow actual customization[/u] like the other classes. For example, you could choose the speed of "Charge," the armor of "Juggernaut," or the protection of "Unstoppable." See how that works out?
[b]Update 2:[/b] So, I've seen where the Titan's strengths are, and I think I'll be happier as a Bladedancer. Is there any way to lock posts?

Might be my play style but my Titan is better than my hunter at pvp

You stupid

Edited by Hamurai: 1/24/2015 5:02:40 PMThere's no -blam!-ing way you're serious. You said it seriously, you didn't tag it with #satire, but this is the stupidest bunch of bollocks I've heard since the game was released. No -blam!-ing way you seriously mean this. The titan is fine, nerf the whiners. Put a mute button on them, or replace the sound of their bitching with rubber ducky squeakers. Good God I would never stop laughing.

I have no experience with the Titan, but I do watch a streamer that uses a Titan [spoiler]shout out to Enraged Cinema on Youtube and Twitch[/spoiler]. And I don't see him ever complaining about the speed or shoulder charge. He is a pretty good-skilled player, and he has his points. Now watching his streams I learned some stuff. I learned how to encounter shoulder charge which I always thought it was overpowered. Just use a shotgun. The Titan in my opinion is pretty good in PvP if player is skilled. Titans are hard to use, looking at it from getting used to jetpack, timing your bubbles and other stuff. Here is where I don't support your post: 1st, the Shoulder Charge is extremely powerful and unstoppable once used perfectly. It is a rare ability that only a Titan can use. Also it is hard to encounter. Yes I did say you can encounter it with Shotgun but not all the time, it is fast and the opponent has to be faster in order to defend himself. 2nd, the speed is also balanced and good for a Walking Tank. I mean let's be honest freaking Titans look like a Tank. I found that the speed can be increased. You can even go faster than Hunter if your Subclass abilities are enabled to. Yes you can't get the Agility bar to max for the Titan, but the Hunters can lower theirs. You get the idea. They're speed is good. 3rd, and I don't think you included this one, but the Striker Fist of Havoc can not be stopped. Once activates there's no way to stop it. Not even with supers. Also it can keep a lasting effect at the area it was used to create a Havoc in. So the Classes, I think, are almost perfecrly balanced. And I don't know why but people who are not skilled sometimes just don't have anything else to do other than just complain. I'm not calling you an unskilled person. And I'm not calling my self a skilled person either. But just stating a point.

yet another change this or that post from a pvp player....neat

10 RepliesDo Titans suck? No Are they underpowered? Yes By how much? Not a lot, (how can you even gauge that) Why? Hard to say exactly. But the fact remains there is only like 5 Titans in the top 25 on the Destiny leaderboards. Can't ignore that fact. Ps Being a titan main, am I the only one that thinks the single most annoying Thing about a Titan is the ridiculously short melee range? Make their melee lunge more or something and I would be 100% content with my titan. (Having played all 3 classes in crucible a lot)

I experience no difficulty with Titan speed.. I use catapult in pvp...

-blam!-ing agree to max

The classes are very well balanced, they all have ups and downs. If you truly wanted to change this you should have mentioned it in the beta or alpha. Just stop complaining and turn off your phone

5 RepliesYou are insane The striker is one of the most OP classes available

14 RepliesSounds to me like you just need to be playing a diffrent class. Instead of trying to turn a Titan into a Hunter...just go play a Hunter. The Titan's real strength is durability...and weapons. Not specials, in close quarters fights. The moment any CQ engagement (in the Crucible) turns into a fistfight, the Titan is immediately at a disadvantage (to make up for his superior armor). The Hunter has greater speed and reach. The Warlock even more reach, and greater hitting power. As a Titan----unless it is a battle of Supers----you want every CQ fight to STAY a gunfight. If you prefer to fight some other way...your really need to be playng a different character class.

4 RepliesJust remove shoulder charge.

Take it from a salty old titan, you may need to endure a bit more pain to truly experience what it is to really know the class. And how are you hating on the skullfort? That guaranteed transfusion proc is so cash and spawning with am extra stormfist in the back pocket can get you out of a few jams. Personally I've switched almost entirely to defender, so maybe the meta had shifted and it's different to when I mostly mained striker in the crucible, but I'm pretty sure the balance is just fine, so long as you don't expect the world of your K/D as a titan.

25 RepliesEdited by Lucros: 1/22/2015 5:36:46 AMI disagree with you on the shoulder charge. It should stay exactly how it is, other then it should make you run just a slight bit quicker. I dont see it spammed in crucible that much and is easily countered by a shotgun of almost any kind. If someone has the invective you might as well go jump off the map.

2 RepliesOk my friend, striker class does not need a nerf. I have yet change my skill tree with my titan striker (main) and use a Hugh armor and agility and do phenomenal in both arenas. Why should your mele be a one hut kill? That's op. That's y u use the perk overload to have a chance of getting storm fist back IMMEDIATELY. u complain about the shoulder charge just shut up. Shoulder charge is the most op thing in PvP. U dont want a cool down well hello world bungie came out with boots for the titan to increase duration so shhhhhhh. Also helpful tip the insurmaunatble skullfront will regenerate your health IMMEDIATELY after a shoulder charge kill. Dont miss out on that. And u dont want to use aftermath then dont use it. Its actually helpful because it prevents players from progressing so it has its uses but I use shockwave to incrrase my distance. If bungie needs to fix anything is to look at my previous post is that pvp is simply not rewarding enough.

12 RepliesOnly agree with cooldown on shoulder charge titan is strong andshoulder charge is one hit ko everytime so a charge should be implemented

5 RepliesStriker class is already retard strong in pvp shoulder charge should be nuked and fists of havok should be nuked and it might be more equal you can die activating your golden gun, bladedancer, nova bomb or radiance bit it takes a rocket a heavy machine gun 15 supers and a fusion rifle to kill someone that just hit fists of havok

I think your just terrible with titans...lol but on the offnote I think they should just do away with the Skullfort helmet. Since it is pretty useless...that and it's ugly af

Disagree it's not broken
