I've tried Crucible over and over. My friends tell me it's fun, and that you have to get use to it, but they're playing as Warlocks and Hunters. I'm constantly being wrecked by players, that are mostly Hunters and Warlocks. Even thinking about it, I don't really see that many Titans in the Crucible. The Titan abilities seem to only really work in defense, even the Striker Subclass. Is any other Titan just getting destroyed out there? I'm good at games like Halo and Battlefield, and I'll admit, I'm not great at Crucible, but this is out of control! Does anyone feel the same? Are Titans a weaker PvP class?

Hey man, I can tell you that as a Titan myself there are games that just seem stacked against you. However we're not terrible at PvP as Titans, and we're certainly the backbone of PvE. I run with a Warlock and a Hunter constantly, I also use The Last Word hand-cannon in PvP. What I've seen? Striker is great for rushing targets with a quick opener, and shotgunning the others ( You have to flank them however for the shoulder charge, most people think it's instant, It isn't. ) Fist of Havoc can seriously lay down some law in a gunfight, I'd however STRONGLY recommend getting Death From Above. It makes FoH so much more viable for PvP it's insane. Personally? I run Defender for max speed and armor, with a focus around my Force Barrier. I'm not the greatest in a ranged fight ( Lacking the pretty abilities the other classes have for softening up targets ) however once I get close? It's the Titan's game. If I can get my Force Barrier up in Rumble, with the talent that allows it to continuously recharge? I'm getting three kills or four, no matter how many rush me. Titan certainly is not forgiving however. If you're flanked or sniped at, you are more than likely a dead man. Sticky Grenade and Ward of Dawn are good, but there is still some issues with grenades penetrating the shield and basically making it a pretty visual effect. We're not endowed with great abilities, but if you play your hand right? We are some sturdy targets. That also being said, PvE makes you feel like a god. I love my Titan on strikes, nothing like getting your Force Barrier and being able to clear trash without a worry in the world. Keep at it man! I thought the same earlier this week, but just learn where we excel and apply it.
