So, I just got one shot shotgunned from 10 ft away with Blessings of Light on. I love Defender so much, but it's almost COMPLETELY useless in Crucible. Weapons barely does any extra damage. Blessings is ridiculously easy to break, as I've experienced. And Armor is rarely useful, since someone will doubtlessly super you before you can get a single kill.
Speaking of supers, the fact that Sunbreakers only need to use three of their 7-8 hammers to pop my bubble is infuriating, and makes me loath them even more than I already do.
All in all, I cannot do Defender in Crucible anymore. The subclass is made for defense but can't defend against JACK SHIT.
Edit: I've taken a lot of you guys' advise. I'm now running Armor with a Conspiracy Theory, and I have my No Backup Plans on standby once I get a non Exotic helmet I can wear (I deleted all my Rares LOL), and hopefully will be getting Immobius soon. I also have my 1000 YS and Weapons on standby. Thanks for the tips!

That's funny. You should see me use it in pvp Armour of light+ immobius+ no backup plans

News Flash: it's been like that since launch

Go ask TrueVanguard. I think he can tell you otherwise.

It's the only Titan subclass I like to use. No Backup Plans, Weapons of Light, War Machine, and The Chaperone. The subclass can be very aggressive, but there's a learning curve. It excels in Mayhem, more than 2/3rds of the subclasses. I've gotten an easy 13 kill streak with it, dealing with 3 Nova Bombs and 2 Hammers. It's preference, but I see it as the most versatile.

I don't think this guy would agree. I laughed my a** off watching this. http://youtu.be/szcEE8mhGEY

2 Respostas* op's titan on defender last game was a crucible match * Why
-
All I know is it still need to be nerfed, not sure why but it does.
-
Actually, I've been having a lot of fun shutting down almost every super in Mayhem, using Armor+Party Crasher/Invective and No Backup Plans. Only supers I've had trouble with were bladedancers and HoS.
-
You're wrong about Defender's viability in Crucible but I agree with you that Blessings of Light could use an buff.

Editado por Amari: 12/3/2015 9:04:14 PMIt's a support class for a reason. Use Hammers or Striker. Did you really need a person that mains a Hunter to tell you this?

Guy I played trials with this past weekend ran defender. If you have the exotic arms that grant over shield on a shotgun kill you are unstoppable

say that again scrub i had my bubble nd killed their entire team twice with one pop[spoiler]armor4lyfe[/spoiler]

I like defender sometimes, I normally run the Arc subclass with Titan on crucible so I can Hulk Smash! I've seen some good uses of the bubble in crucible but I guess it's not for every situation. Sometimes shit happens too, maybe the shotgunner lagged out and appeared far away when on his screen he might have been in your face? I've felt ripped off at times, most recently hitting an active sun breaker with 1/4 health with a shoulder charge and having no impact, like I said shit just happens. It's best to forget it and move on ^_^

I used it once, by accident, in pvp forgetting to change my loadout. I wrecked with it. No ideawhy i haven't tried it again. I think the randoms playing were just terrible, but it worked out wonderfully for me in my one dip.
-
Do you even defender Bro?
-
I read the first 3 sentences and stopped to correct you. Weapons of light will body shot collateral 2 people with her benevolence. It leaves a 3rd person at half health. It will also 3x collateral headshot. So there's that.

Try using WOL in trials and then say it's useless. Last week my mates 305 Bad Juju was 2 bursting people for fun.
-
I only used the Defender in PoE with the Saint-14 helm when I played it. Now prefer Sunbreaker or Striker.
-
3 RespostasOnly true Titans can use the shield at max power!!!

Helm of saint 14 and the immobious shot gun work great in control but other than that yea I would tend to agree with OP
