Since, patch 2.0 people have been in a rage about the sunbreaker subclass. The first response is to scream "NERF" on the forums and hope it so. However, no one offers an actual solution. My idea for the nerf/tweak would be a reasonable one.
Move health to a level that would allow a one-shot headshot by high impact snipers like every other super that guardians can use while traveling (i.e. bladedance, golden gun, storm caller). This would allow for a more reasonable killing potential given that sunbreakers can regain health upon kills, if they have that perk selected.
I hope this reaches moderators and most of the community. Give me your thoughts below.
Edit 1: Thanks for all of the discussion!
Edit 2: Pushing 500 responses. Thanks everyone.
Edit 3: To those glancing at my stats and seeing my 300 Hunter: you are failing to see 'time spent within crucible.' Yes, I started TTK because I liked the look of the nightstalker. This does not mean that I don't have the ability to main all three classes.
Edit 4: To those thinking that this would cripple the class: my purposed nerf would still leave it as one of the strongest supers in the game.
Edit 5: over 600 responses! Thanks everyone!

15 RepliesLeave Titans alone, they need this, Titans were underpowered and they were a joke, and now... they aren't, they actually back themselves up and become the brick scary walls they were supposed to be. And I find it ridiculous that people are screaming nerf when Hunters have had BladeDancer, Warlocks have Stormtrance and they had Sunsinger with The Ram.

1 ReplyEach class wants another nerfed, circle of life

Leave the sun breakers stats alone. All you gotta do is make it like golden gun.... 3, maybe 4 shots. Make em count.

My god it isn't that hard to kill a titan using Hammer of Sol. All you need to do is move with some competence and make them waste their hammers and make them waste the super or deal damage till they die. Or just super them back. Granted I wouldn't really care if this nerf happened too much, but still all this complaining is baseless. It is so easy to deal with the hammer of sol. Both having used it and having gone against it. I've been killed by it a handful of times and killed titans using it far more than they have killed me.

Really tired of people saying titans are supposed to be tanks so that means they can be indestructible pretty much. No dude their meant to take damage, not be invulnerable to everything you throw at them. A titan with blessing of light can't even take that much damage, its kind of ridiculous how much damage they can take. Especially for a powerful sub class like sun breaker. Their all guardians, they all move and can die. You can lower a titans armor to not be tanky. This is a reason able nerf. Not like the super isn't gonna be OP still.
-
How about no nerf?
-
Theres not enough titans hence an op class used to entice people to play it. Roll a titan and enjoy it for a bit. It's pretty regular mmo fare tbh. I remember wow having a pet class appear regularly. I prefer balance personally but what can you do.

Things that SHOULD kill anyone in crucible: -high impact headshot (sniper) -high impact shotgun point blank (depending on the situation but atleast 98% of the time) -golden gun shot -at most 2 hits from blade dancer -nova bomb (spec for destruction and fun) -fist of havok (atleast after partially damaged) -a good rocket If you can avoid 2/7 of these then there is a problem (it's a small list but it's the most one hit kills I could think of at high armor. Also I would like to make the comment that sunsingers were less that a problem than sunbreaker is....
-
The difference between blade dancer and sunbreaker is your gonna be more spastically moving and for golden gun it's more accurate but for storm caller idk
-
How about you just play it smart and don't try to go one on one with a sunbreaker?
-
#help maybe
-
Maybe reduce the amount if armor they and change some of the perks to help them and not all around their super. Like golden gun.

Edited by JohnnyMac: 9/22/2015 8:14:56 PMSo the Titan is finally given a super that works better with the class' intended purpose (a movable tank) and everyone loses their minds. If it gets nerfed, fine. It's no skin off of my back. I use Sunbreaker because it is the most fun subclass in the game. It also just so happens to be on me favorite class.

4 RepliesThe only problem is, gunslingers get absolutely no damage resistance. Solar Titans take ~66% less damage. So I agree.
-
4 RepliesSomeone really needs to nerf those gauntlets
-
3 RepliesJust decrease the armor so they can be one shot by a Sniper in the head and killed by shotgun- punch combo. That'll make people quit bitching and make Titans become more strategic when using it.

1 ReplyThat titan is a bullet sponge took 2 shots from an efrideet both headshots
-
1 ReplySorry they already nerfed your solution(final round)
-
3 RepliesAs a former Gunslinger who converted to Sunbreaker, a high impact headshot should kill anything, regardless of super. Maybe an armor of light bubble should take it, but that's about it. It's just so satisfying to shut down other players mid super with a good shot.
-
Oh looky it's a hunter out in the wild
-
I'll settle for this if Sunbreakers must be nerfed.

31 RepliesNo. Titans have been the underdogs of crucible for too damn long
