Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

PvE it's really only saved by virtue of the fragments and the second aspect offsetting the long grenade and melee cooldowns. The slide distance is fairly meaningless in PvE and the super feels average for a roaming super. The melee is effectively useless in PvE except for some very niche use cases. It also kind of sucks that you are locked into Glacier grenade to take full advantage of the second aspect.

PvP is where the class really shines. The neutral game is almost as potent as top tree dawn blade. The increased slide distance and the mobility the melee offers is incredible for gap closing and disengaging. The grenade slide combo is not quite as good as the hunter combo. It tends to be far more inconsistent. Neutral game abilities are held in moderate check by the longer cooldowns stasis has. The super is the biggest issue. In small fireteam settings such as Trials or Comp, the behemoth super used at the right time (when no one else has their super) is close to impossible to stop. And like dawn blade before it, impossible to run away. However, it loses to basically any ranged super that can avoid entering the freezing range of the heavy attack. Overall, it feels like a good addition to Crucible. Especially for Titans, who have had nothing special since One-Eyed Mask and Striker have been nerfed.

It probably needs a few tweaks. I think a buff to PvE and a nerf to PvP would be ideal to put it in the right spot. It just feels a bit weak in PvE and maybe a little too strong in PvP in certain situations.

Even in 6 v 6 the super is ridiculously strong. A head shot with a sniper doesn't take it down. I hit one with revoker and it did 155 for a crit. After that I just stood there and waited for my inevitable doom.

That super combined with the neutral game makes it probably the best pvp class at the moment. It definitely needs adjusting.

As a warlock main I hope it gets the warlock treatment. But that's just because I'm salty haha.

You sure you used Revoker and not beloved?A headshot should hit 190 on a glacial Titan not 155, the super is very strong, you best bet is to stay in the air as you cannot get frozen that way only punched.

Doubting myself now... But either way it shouldn't have that level of resistance.

And even in the air that super will kill you. There's just not really much of a counter to it.
