but the catch is you have to use Defender which has an even [i]greater[/i] disadvantage in the crucible considering Ward of Dawn sucks and is only good for getting you and your team killed
[spoiler]besides suppressor grenade doesn't always work so :/[/spoiler]
The bubble does suck a bit I agree but the subclass imo is very good. It's just not straight aggressive style like striker. Bubble allows for many ways to use it.
perks revolve around the bubble which we've already determined is useless compared to other supers. that^ or it revolves around the strength of your weapons which is random
[spoiler]my opinion[/spoiler]
You can bait them. Make en destroy the bubble where you come out alive and even more orbs drop.
If FoH leave the bubble.
If nova and he's outside stay in them run after it is destroyed. If blade dancer stay it.
If he's using razors edge take a quick lunge outside to kill. Suppress golden guns.
Suppress sunsingers or just destroy them. I don't even need to mention other bubbles.
Besides, if you're using weapons you wouldn't always put those in pressure points and wouldn't worry about supers thrown at you.
