Bungie needs to add a ranged titan super to Destiny, why?? because every class in Destiny has a ranged super besides for Titans. Warlocks can get midrange kills with the nova bomb, or get buffs with sun-singer, and Hunters can use Golden Gun. This lack of a projectile super becomes especially apparent during boss-fights.
The reason this came up was because I was playing the weekly heroic strike with three defender titans when the Summoning pits was the weekly heroic strike, so I decided to switch to Striker codex. However Fist of Havoc's attack just seemed to just roll off Phogoth instead of damaging him, and he would immediately counter by insta-killing me. So when I ask for a ranged super, I don't mean "long-range" or even "medium range", I just mean a projectable offensive super which can be used to damage a boss, while the player can still be far enough away from the boss not to get blasted by the bosses proximity attack (Some examples of proximity attacks would be; Phogoth and Archon priest both doing an insta-kill stomp, and Fallen Walkers releasing Arc grenades).
Also this 3rd subclass should be a solar damage subclass, because Titans only have Void and Arc subclasses for now. Also warlocks and hunters would be getting subclasses for their respective missing elemental type as well.

I understand the need for titans to have some form of ranged effectiveness, but you have to remember that each of the three classes is made for specific purposes. The titan is a close-quarters class, the Warlock is basically a grenadier, and the Hunter is extreme mobility. Put simply, this is how titans were meant to be. Now, I'm not saying that Titans shouldn't have one. Trust me, I would love that too. But, maybe whenever they release the third Focus for each class, the Titan's Solar Focus might have a ranged super to it. *shrug* anything is possible. And yes, they will be releasing a third focus for each one. That's pretty obvious, since they constantly talk about how they intend to balance out all three classes, so that no one class is left behind or further ahead. Adding the missing element to each class is one of those steps.
