    Agility is not equivalent to pure speed. http://core1inc.com/what-is-the-difference-between-speed-agility-and-quickness/

    • Suppress every super, jump four times, do a role to avoid snipers, have smoke and void bombs, have extreme agility. Hunters have a lot going for them

      • Yeah, I main nightstalker and I have to admit, strikers are so damn fast that it's ridiculous. I've tried to escape them plenty of times and it's just not possible. I had to change my whole play style just to counter that speed, but going up against a skilled striker is terrifying.

        Hunters have more control over their agility, but my biggest problem is that the dune marchers do what the Frost-EE5 and Dance machines do combined ON TOP OF titan skating.

      • We Hunters are the fastest in any direction. Titans are the fastest when it comes to traveling in straight directions.

        • Titans are fast in a straight line hunters are hard to track. They bounce around. Titans are like a train going one way

          • Destiny classes are not your typical rpg classes. The purpose of a titan is to get up close quickly and do massive damage when he gets there. Warlocks are ability focused with fast recharge rates. Hunters are the mobile classes, not fast. Note how many hunters spend 70% of their time in the air with a hand cannon.

              Dear OP, There are no tanks in this game. In fact, most classes feel fairly similar, with some exceptions of course(like Titans are more melee-focused, Warlocks usually are on crowd control and some may argue that the Hunter is a glass cannon). This means there is no clear difference between a tank, support or DPS class in this game. And while it is true that subclasses may differ (you'll have to admit a Defender does not feel the same as a Striker), classes do not differ this much. Yes, the Titan has more armor, the Warlocks higher recovery, and the Hunters are known for their agility, but these differences are not that big. It is the so-called 'Titan skate' that significantly outruns any other class, including the agile Hunters. However, this does not mean that Titans, while faster, are more agile than Hunters. Agility is not just about pure speed, your maneuverabilty has a big role too. Everyone knows how irritating a hopping Hunter can be. Further on, agility does increase top speed while sprinting, making it feel unfair that you might be outrun by a low agility Titan that is skating around. I admit, while it is clearly that Bungie intended this to be like this (referring to Titan grimoire: the jump jets can be used to get out of danger very quickly), this might feel frustrating in the current state of the game. I think your problem is the Juggernaut ability, deleting any form of incoming burst damage. This clearly needs a fix, nerfing it's anti-burst potential, perhaps buffing it's overal shield capacity. I'm not a game designer though, nor am I a programmer of some sort. So I let this decision to Bungie, and I'm pretty sure they are already on it. Have a nice day.

              • Why is it always some hunter who clearly does better in pvp on his hunter vs Titan always come on here crying about Titans?? Hunters are way better in pvp, yes a Titan can move faster in the right hands. Get over it and put your big girl panties on

                • They have shadestep, keenscout, voidwalls + smoke bomb area of effect, tether that cancels other supers and stops people, golden gun, good grenades, arc blade, SKIP GRENADES, quickdraw, amazing way of getting out of danger, hoods (much cooler than marks and tricking bracelets), and more. It's all in act of balancing.

                • There is a difference between agility and speed. Is it so hard for people to get it? Hunters aren't meant to be fast, as in running and getting from A to B quickly. They are meant to be agile, move out of the way effectively and harder to lock on to. It's really isn't that hard to understand.

                    • Hunters are the "Scout" role so they should have speed but not armor. If it's a foot race Hunter'll win hands down. You run up against a Hunter who knows what they're doing with their slides and you'll see some things.

                    • Guess people don't realize each class can spec into two different skill sets Titan: agility/armor Warlock: armor/recovery Hunter agility/recovery

                        Double jump w/ controlled jump. Bones of eao. Mida. Keen scout or fleet footed. Laugh as your jumping carries you quicker and with more agility than any but the best of the best skaters. Edit: grammar.

                          • Titans are by far "not" the fastest class unless you make every available weapon and armor perk centered around agility... otherwise they are slow as f*

                            • don't even need garrison to be agile. only increased control. so basically, you can be fast and run max armor. which is stupid. poor balancing.

                            • I think of Titans are more like trains and can't really change the direction they are going once they get going and hunters on the other hand are a lot more evasive and quick
