Squishy how ? You can spec for resilience and recovery, just like with the other classes. The amount of health and recovery times are identical between the different classes if they are using similar builds. As of now there is no actual benefit in pvp using max resilience of 10. Using 8 will give you a very small advantage against 450rpm autos but hardly anyone uses it as 4 is enough on console and 6 on PC to make the most popular archetypes to require more crits for a kill, and you can get 8 get on all classes. You can get 8 recovery on a Hunter, 10 on Titan and Warlock, the difference is 0,9 seconds between 8 and 10 recovery to fully heal, but hardly anyone uses max recovery. You get your class ability more often than other classes, and for most people it is much easier to use the dodge for both defensive and offensive play compared to the rift or wall. Nightstalkers are OP, invis and lack of aim assist during it, as well as the smoke grenade are really strong, and that’s why the class is so popular and performes better than other subclasses. Class stats are available at guardian.gg so it’s not just a matter of opinion.

Gonna boost up recovery over resilience and give it a try. Thx!
