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.

How about a super where the titans get a shield and spear the shield can be raised to absorb some damage and the spear can be thrown for ranged attacks and does what the golden gun does damage wise and staggers. The spear comes back after 10 seconds and the super lasts around 12 so you might be able to get two spears off. The melee could be a fire punch that could be upgraded to throw a fireball.
-
If you wanted a ranged attack you should have chosen a different class... If they all were long ranged then people like you would complain and say we need a short ranged super attack.
-
I also feel that titans need an instagib rifle coz shooting things more than once is just boring.
-
Death from above and shock wave.
-
Death from above can be a ranged attack if you improvise.
-
When you say that titans are more of a support role in boss fights...Our super is then gonna be used to kill ads. I call them ads because they add to the chaos. So if you know that you can't super the boss, use it to help your teammates!!

Edited by IamANT: 10/4/2014 11:58:01 PMi dont think a some what tank roll should have a ranged super, titans are supposed to be brute and charge in
-
Titans get Ward of Dawn. The only defensive super in the game. If titans get a ranged super, then all other classes need to get a defensive super. Don't forget a 3rd subclass comes with DLC
-
I think the real problem here is that a titan can't tank a boss any more than other classes to get close and pound stuff in the face. For me if my team doesn't need my shield then I will jump over and pop it open right next to boss and agro him so that rest of team can shoot in peace.

Beep boop hunter exo master race whoop whoop

Solar spear

I love when people say they need my bubble for extra weapon damage for Atheon. Wouldn't change it for any ranged crap.
-
Um, how about no... They already get to be impervious while using their supers, just like blade dancers.... How about letting warlocks be impervious while casting their super, it's quit ridiculous to get mowed down while stuck in the animation.

The Titan Defender is invaluable in boss fights. My friends all run either hunters or warlocks, but when we're getting our butts kicked and I pop my super - it's everyone in the bubble. You'd think I was making S'Mores in there. (Since my bubble gives everyone that passes through a temp shield, they tend to duck in and out to recharge, even.)
-
They need to add a close quarters to Warlock, and a mid range/support for Hunters as well.
-
No thanks. Hopefully their third class is solar and still CQC / Support. Cuz that's how we roll.
-
I was just thinking this. Perhaps in the new third subclass?
-
Nope. It'd be cool but titans are supposed to be that person who smashes enemies faces into the ground. Not someone who hides in the back and stays safe

Edited by consago: 10/5/2014 12:06:56 AM1. Know your role 2. Be smart about it edit: If you really want a range super then maybe try Hunter?

-
The hunters are lethality, warlocks are ranged, titans are close quarters.
-
Death From Above?
-
This post is retarded. You can use the weapons of light buff on your bubble which substantially increases the output damage of your gun. This is unique only to titans and is a major super to have in hardmode VoG. Being a titan doesn't mean you get the best close range super it means you can take hits like a champ and have high survivability which translates into being a support player in raids. Should have thought your class through before you picked it man, you read their abilities at the character selection screen.
