Titan Strand Useless?
Not sure what you thought, Bungie, but the new Titan Strand is kind of a disgrace. You didn't make it practical to all content. You can't even run it in a GM. There's no way you want to be up close in a GM. Not unless the Super does massive AoE damage like Thundercrash. Instead, we get claws.
Since Titans are tanks, they should have Supers that can provide great AoE damage. The Super should have been something like a shockwave with Strand tendrils killing, or otherwise incapacitating combatants.
You really need to fix this.

1 ReplyDang you’ve played it already and have tested it in GMs. Jesus at least try it first before you cry about it

That’s crazy that you’ve already gotten to play the new class in a GM. What did you think of the grapple effect? ….I’ll wait.

While strand titan looks uninteresting, it's only in contrast to the other strand subclasses. So far on paper, strand titan still gets the utility of strand and the strand equivalent of the stasis warlock playstyle with some wild exotic combos. Both inmost light and Lupi would be great with strand while the new boots give some insane viability in PvE and possibly PvP. Not to mention every other change coming is pretty much a buff for everyone. Plus behemoth could get interesting with the new helmet. Titan is still going to be around the same in viability as hunter while warlock will remain slightly above. Either way everything looks positive.

2 RepliesDid you get an early in game test of strand? How did it all work out for you and what GM did you run?

Tanks should not do massive AOE damage. The purpose of a tank is to TANK damage and draw attention. That is why many of the titans ability are either harassing as someone else said or providing shield or some kind of utility for the team. I understand it would be cool for titans to have a ton of high damage supers, but that would defeat the purpose of having different classes if they could all do the same thing. You really should wait and actually PLAY with strand before you make a final judgment on the class. You and many others claim it’s already bad, without even trying it. You’ve seen a few gameplay clips and suddenly that equates to you having played with the class? I’m not saying it looks good from the clips, but you should really wait till you’ve tested it with builds before calling for it to be changed.

Sheeesh man. 7x gilded conqueror and I’m up close all the time in gms on titan. Learn to play.

I wish Titans were tanks. Titans are also not paladins, nor are they super soldiers. The role Titans play as of now is a Skirmisher (light infantry) and harasser. Yes, some subclasses are more defensive and others more offensive but overall, this is how I see Titans in this current sandbox. From the looks of the trailer, strand will be no different, but it all comes to down how it plays when its released. It may blow our socks off, it may not! we will see.

Are you a time traveller from the future???? The dlc and the subclasses are not out yet (well Sony players have it but are locked out of the game now as the system is not set up to play it until Tuesday) so how do you know... you never tried it and only seen a few seconds of game footage.

We’ll see.
