Titans are NOT "tanks."
No class is.
There are no "tanks" in destiny.
Every class takes the same amount of punishment, and in some cases the differences are miniscule.
The only form of "tanking" in this game may be a radiant skin warlock or an armor of light bubble Titan, but those are supers and are temporary.
"But Titans are tanks! They can max out their armor!"
And? It barely makes a difference.
In the Crucible, do you engage Titans differently because of their high armor? No. You're going to deal with them the same way you would any other class, because when it comes to HP, the classes are virtually the same.
The reason for this post comes from the complaints of Titan Skating. In which people are saying "Tanks shouldn't be the fastest."
Newsflash. They [i][b]aren't[/b][/i] tanks.

Move this to off topic. It's irrelevant

4 RepliesCan't tell you how many times I've left max armor Titans (with an armor increasing chest plate) with a sliver of health that any other class would've died from. But that's just me apparently.

R u stupid?

LEDLE LEDLE LEE!!!

Newsflash, [b]Juggernaut[/b]s ARE tanks. Good luck stopping my striker.

29 RepliesNo they arent tanks, but it doesnt make sense for them to be able to move faster then either of the other classes. Isnt it stated somewhere within Destiny lore that Titans armour weighs multiple tonne? I dont care much for nerfs at all, on any class as i use all 3. However, titans having the fastest mobility in game due to [u]any[/u] reason just doesnt make sense.

Bad trolling dude

Serious question: Who gives a fat flying -blam!-? Really?

1 ReplyI hate it when people say titans are supposed to be tanks, hunters are supposed to be the agility class ect. There is no tanking in this game, there's barely even any support abilities. The only real difference between classes is grenade, super, jump, and melee charge.

I guess a Titan never saved your life.

9 RepliesFlux and fusion nades dont kill max armor titan. Explain.

1 ReplyRemember when people said sunbreakers should tank the most damage before the nerf because titans are supposed to be the tank class? Good times.....

1 ReplyTitans are called TITANS for the next reasons: Unsptopabble Armor of light Juggertnaunt Sunbreaker before the nerf Armor stats means nothing in PVP for the other way Agility on hunter are very notable

8 RepliesThey're tanks by lore though and that's the problem. Bungie isn't reflecting the lore through the game. [i]The cabal opened fire, point blank into her chest, and we heard the most terrifying noise....she was laughing[/i] (Titan Y1 pretty TDB vanguard armour. Not the Komodo set.) Tell me any other class that could, in lore do that kind of tanking? [i]I didn't get shot, I was never shot, I body checked that missile.[/i] (The Komodo chest piece. Like it or not, titans have been painted as tanks since vanilla, we are [b]the wall upon which the darkness breaks[/b] ~ Defender subclass descriptor.

I feel like no one has ever played an actual tank role in games that actually have the holy trinity.

Titans = To Wall Hunter = To Ground Warlock = To Rave Party.

Guess what roll strikers play.... Rushing in quickly to strike the opposition and take them off guard. They are working as intended.

2 RepliesTitans are described as tanks via lore and shit. Like how Saint-14 literally killed a KELL by -blam!-in headbuttin him and walking away. Now Please tell me a story like that with a hunter or a warlock, tis a reason why Titans be called tanks a lot.

Honestly the main differences are the jumps in each class. That's why I hate warlocks. They're just so unplayable. Hence why I'm a Titan.

3 RepliesI disagree.

Edited by Jykeous: 8/2/2016 1:57:24 AMMost armored class ever, Warlock. Fastest class ever, Titan. Hunters. . . They're good either way.

1 ReplyDestiny does have tanks. But the poor things get eaten up by my Sleeper and Snipers so.....yeah. #CabalLivesMatter

7 Replies[quote]"But Titans are tanks! They can max out their armor!" And? It barely makes a difference.[/quote] This, in your opinion, minuscule difference can decide who wins an otherwise completely even gunfight- whether it is tanking an extra TLW/Thorn shot, more grenade damage, etc.

Are they tanks? No. Should they be? Probably. But Bungie was afraid to commit on the kind of defined class roles an MMO might have, so there's no helping it now that the framework is that all classes are essentially on par with each other. Titan skating is one of the dumbest things to pick as an issue. I'm sorry, meta snipers, that at the cost of sacrificing their ability to shoot the enemy isn't stuck being slow enough for you to simply scope in and kill them. Anyone with a shotgun can wait for them and shoot first and anyone with a primary and grenades can outplay them while they divert some of their concentration to patterning their lift correctly. People who don't play claw or a weird control scheme can't even skate on the best level possible. Did I mention people could just use a primary?
