If GG could one shot that Titan it would mean that FoH would 100% lose to GG. As it is now, it is more even. The GG can win by simply staying out of his range and shooting him before he slams. If he is already supered just shoot him twice or hit a precision shot. If the Titan closes the gap successfully, he wins the engagement. It's that simple.
Don't compare GG to Hammers or Dawnblade. Those are harder to aim and have a travel time. Giving GG extra defense or power starts to get OP very quickly.
Shadowshot prob needs a slight buff but just like in D1, NIghtstalker is about the neutral game mostly. Arc Strider prob needs a speed boost. GG maybe needs a SLIGHT time increase for six-shooter. That's it. Don't think anything else is warranted IMO.

Good point. The Golden gun definitely needs some sort of enhancement to put it on par with the other classes, and your suggestion for activation speed boost is a great one. Or else a shield, or combination between the two. Something extra because right now it's literally an easily identifiable glass cannon that has an extremely limited situational advantage. I escape enemy GG user's at least 40 to 50 percent of the time in the crucible. It's laughably easy to get away, and if it is popped in the open there is a very high chance they will not get a shot off because your vision is obstructed by its activation flames and your taking damage for the entire two or so seconds it takes to ready. If there is more than one opponent with eyes on you, it's pretty much a certainty you're done for. The thing is, FoH is lightning quick, and you get three in a row, a big shield buff, and you move faster. I might be wrong about the movement being faster, but it certainly seems that way because Titans are constantly catching me from behind while I am in full sprint. (insert joke here). The point being, if a Titan activates FoH in front of multiple people, multiple people are about to get wrecked, period. Guaranteed at least one, due to its automatic one shot against everything. I would take FoH over GG any day when it comes to PvP supers. I have, however, made Nightstalker my main PvP subclass after practicing with it far more extensively, and it definitely makes up for all the Gunslinger downsides. I am getting much better at using SS situationally, though I still think it needs a buff. Either OHK non-supered guardians, severely handicap their damage and increase tether range, or completely blind tethered guardians for a few seconds at the very least.
