Not sure if anyone here has seen a defender Titan bubble come up and instead of saying "Stay Away", like 99% of the other supers, you go "Yay, free triple kill".
So where is the Defender Titan's fourth golden gun shot? Or his exotic that gives him the ability to fly and give him extra super range?
"I can blind people that come into my shield".
Yes and I can Fist of Panic, Nova Bomb, Golden Gun, and Blade Dance my way through your shield in half a second without batting an eye.
So how about some upgrades, the bubble shield needs some additions to make it either more useful or even deadly. All of these should be in the same tree, so pick and choose which one is best for you, and what sacrifices you are willing to make.
-Super Immunity, biggest thing probably for PvP, a bubble is 250% useless to almost every other super in the game right now, even a Sunsinger can duke it out and put up a winning fight inside your own bubble, and if you are one of those morons who takes Blessing of Light or Weapons of Light in PvP, you will loose 9/10 of the fights over your own bubble shield. So let's even the odds for a class that has no where near the offensive abilities as the other classes.
A perk that makes the Defender Titan's bubble immune to enemy supers, using your super into a bubble does not burst it. Running into the shield even disables your super, negating fist of panic and even allowing you to tactically negate Sunsinger revives.
-A moveable shield, the shield's life span is halved but it moves with the defender Titan that activates it, this PvE and PvP perk has the most chance for utility, reviving teammates in Nightfall and Normal Raids can now be done with a noticeable degree of ease and safety.
-Two way shield, shoot out of your shield with medium calibre weapons. This here done right can easily balance the deadly aspect of a Defender bubble shield, with a dual purpose in PvE and PvP. To balance this, you can't shoot large calibre weapons through the shield while inside of it, heavy weapons and sniper rifles having rounds too big to pass through the shield.
-Threat detector shield, at least be able to identify who is and who isn't about to turn your shield inside out with ease. Enemies are highlighted whilst you are inside the shield, enemies with a charged super glow bright gold to categorize who and who isn't the biggest threat, this could easily be used in PvE as a tracker, as enemies of the light will appear through walls rather than relying on line of sight.
TL;DR version: Defender Titan is practically useless in it's support role, it needs buffs.
Edit: So I noticed a general consensus that Defender Titan seems to be quite the power house in PvE. What has been pointed out isn't new, but then again isn't necessarily broken or totally useless. I guess this is now more of a PvP discussion.
The suggestions above should not be taken literally. Also if you have never played Defender Titan in PvP or never played a Titan in general and come up with phrases like "Get better" and "You just don't know how to play", keep that crap to yourself and simply add something constructive, or you'll be treated like the pubescent you are.
