according to the traditional skills of such classes, i think that a hunter should generally move faster than the other classes. maybe for a short period of time he speeds up because of his exemplary agility and finesse. the titan which no one would argue is slightly slower than the other classes but his melee combat is much more devastating due to his raw power. and as far as the warlock goes, i see him being very balanced in speed and physical power but it would be cool if he had several buffs to cast on his fellow guardians. if the titan is moving too slow, cast something that speeds him up. the hunters armor isnt holding up while hes trying to perform a critical backstab melee? cast somthing that will add to physical resistance. i like the idea of hand to hand combat. one thing i always wanted to see in a shooter was the characters ability in hand to hand combat. maybe for all characters if they both held down a melee attack from the front or sides of your enemy or even both the player and enemy both hit each other simultaneously, you would initiate a short hand to hand battle with the opponent. and through strategic button combinations, you would see who wins the chess match with fists and elbows. once initiated the hand to hand battle would operate separately from the original controls. maybe Y switches weapons in normal mode but in HTH Y would perform an uppercut. X reloads, but in HTH he throws a hook. while in this mode the players within could be invulnerable to outside influence. this way there are no controversial half second melee attacks that either finish you off without a chance to fight or leave you a questionable champion. i like assassinations too and that could still work if performed from behind. but i dont want Destiny to be a carbon copy of Halo. if Bungie were to throw something fresh in the mix of battle, it would add an interesting element to the combat you would see on the battlefield. the button combinations within this alternate HTH mode would have counters and the first character to land a blow without being countered would be the victor. this way you still have a chance to survive and you have fun while doing so. i know this doesnt exactly emcompass the question but this has been an idea ive had for several years now, and originally wanted it for Halo multiplayer, but xbox one is an extremely sad disappointment and i unfortunately wont be playing any more Halos, so i think that Bungie would be one of those few companies that could pull this off even if they were to incorporate this system against computer controlled characters.

I really hope the hunter gets stealth.

Your analytical skills are impressive. Took me 3 times watching that video to come up with that when I could of just looked at this thread lol. Cheers mate

Class abilities. I get to thinking, how will these interact with race abilities (if any)? For example, everyone says the Titan will be slow, but maybe an EXO Titan would move faster than a human Titan. On account of mechanized limbs...? Reverse could be human Titan have more health than EXO. Similar trade offs for other class and race combos. Thoughts...?

Where was the source of that picture on top from? I could be wrong but is it fan made or concept art from bungie them self?

i hope to get the input and criticism from other more astute players in this community, and with time all will be revealed, stay hopeful lol

I think the warlocks solar flare and the hunters homing mines have been confirmed as grenades sorry... I can't remember where I heard this from

I really, truly believe that the few abilities Bungie has shown is a tiny, salty [i]sprinkling[/i] of what will be available to players. Think about it. [b]IF[/b] they really are limiting us to 3 classes and 3 sub classes, that's only 9 different character types total. People are so difficult to please nowadays, those couple of abilities shown might be completely awesome, but people will be bored with them before the end of the first book. There's got to be a vast array of powers to use, or we'll end up seeing just a bunch of titans running around. [spoiler]There are many more abilities than Bungie is showing.[/spoiler]

I also noticed the the Titan has the double jump ability as well. Where is the source in the hunter having double jump? Ive wanted to see it.

I would be surprised if all the way from level 1 to the highest level we are stuck with these abilities.. I think (Or at least hope) that we will gain access to different abilities. Maybe pieces of equipment that each have 3 abilities on them. (Which is what I think the Void Warlock pattern is, although probably not)

thanks, well....this answers most of my question

I think the Hunter should have some type of teleport special for closing gaps to allow for some sick assassination type moves. By the way charging a sniper rifle shot would be awesome. The Titan special should be an energy shield they can shoot through but protects them. And the Warlocks some kind of energy wave that hurts and pushes the enemy back to create spacing for maneuverability. That just a few idea's from me anyway.

I would like for the Hunter to get some kind of stealth cloak and a special melee "assassinate" move.

Does any one think that the hunter should be able to pick his/her elemental power. Personally I think an ice or lightning elemental power would be pretty awesome.

The Hunter's mines are always stationary, but always "heat seek" enemies. After you deploy them in mid-air, if the enemy gets too close the mines will start to home in on the enemy so it is only one type of mine and only one ability. I believe that all guardians will have a double jump, so to speak, but the Warlock has been said to be able to stay in the air for longer in a form of "levitation". The Titan's jet boost was just the double jump I believe, if anything I would think his second ability will probably be like a charge attack (he runs forward and attacks or knocks enemies out of the way), but that's just my guess.

In the game play reveal video on the official destiny channel, when the Titan jumps off of the wall to fight the Fallen, it appears as though jump jets activate on his back, giving him a small upward boost.

This info is the official of the class skills?

Well the shown control load out seems to indicate that you can have a movement ability of some sort that augments your jump. the warlock, as everyone knows, has a glide, I believe the titan has some sort of jet boost, and at one point you see a hunter (I think anyway) do a double jump. I am really excited to see the various abilities that can be equipped.

Ok, one. That's pretty bloody awesome. Two, can you give me a link to that concept picture of the Titan with a shield? That's EXACTLY the ability I want in the Titan.

The Titan seemed to have a pretty impressive jump range even more so than the Warlock or Hunter. He cleared pretty far when he initially attacked the Fallen.
