I'm torn because on one hand, arc warlock is hilarious and I love palpatine-ing people, but Titan fits my playstyle a bit more since I usually just run directly at people and shoot them in the face/punch them a lot.

Titan has the most satisfying jump in the game if that tips the scales.

Without actually playing one during it, I think Hunter would have the easiest time running the gauntlet. Titan was pretty easy and I hated my life when I ran it with warlock.

20% of my pvp kills (second highest after super) were melee in D1 as a Titan. Sadly they don't do as much damage this time around :(

Can confirm at least that running the gauntlet is amazing

On the occasion that they'd gently caress up I would just run on through to the next no problem. Warlock buddy would die every time.

The way we did it though, was everybody helps the person to their right, and if you're helping you shoot the lowest target.

I use strafe but it feels more vertical than in D1. I don't notice a difference between Catapult and Stafe at all anymore though tbh.

The Vigilance Wing is basically pure space egypt. It even has a lil sun instead of a sight, and a scarab that changes colour instead of a ammo counter.

Unfortunately it's a horrible ammo waster because the last two rounds of each burst usually end up in the ceiling for most enemies, and it's exotic traits are based around your fireteam being poo poo and dying, which is hardly ideal. Plus that nifty lil scarab ammo counter is cool looking, but ultimately useless for telling the ammo in your magazine.

I hope they add some more stuff to this game and not just in the paid DLC. They could have a horde mode repeatable mission you could do on the farm post campaign, defend it from invading aliens and poo poo. Heroic strikes seem like an obvious addition, just to make them a bit more interesting to do than they are now, maybe with better rewards as well (not sure if they have strike exclusive loot for specific ones but if so running them would be better if they were more interesting).

How much of a difference does it even make this time? I remember the equivalent in D1 was like one bullet's difference from the shittiest gun.

In Destiny 1 a max armor titan would have different breakpoints and certain things that would kill other characters outright would be (barely) survivable like tripmines. I don't know if this is still true but it does make a difference, every so often you'd win with a sliver of health left when you would have died without the armor and it added up.

The recoil is post burst. Use it like a scout rifle.

what? the gun is literally perfectly accurate. the gun does not move until the third shot has left and all the bullets have left.

in d1 having max armor was literally the most gameplay-affecting decision you could make with your stats, what are you talking about?

Yeah, but getting it back on target for the second burst is something my muscle memory doesn't seem ready for. I guess I'll practice more with it.

Wasn't there some video where people were testing and the difference between zero and max armor on a Titan was literally one bullet out of the weakest auto rifle archtype? I don't remember anymore it's been a while.

A 50S RAYGUN

the difference between max armor and not max armor for most of d1's life was the difference between being killed by a shoulder charge and not, being killed by a tripmine or not, and a number of hand-cannon breakpoints (going from 3 to 4 for a kill). it was certainly not one auto rifle shot, except maybe at launch or at the end of d1 when it was changed. and that was just going from '1 below max' to 'actually max' armor.

Shoot it like Jade Rabbit. When it comes back to rest, pull the trigger again. Don't try to compensate heavily for the post-burst kick.

Yeah it's probably something like that. I haven't played D1 in a year and a half tbh. I'm trying to max resilience followed by recovery and treating mobility as a nice bonus in D2 anyway, recovery feels pretty noticeable with increases.
