I am once again thinking about how in the world of Destiny, the Light subclass that is canonically the most destructive, isn’t one of the Hunter or Warlock subclasses (the canonical most reckless and most raw power subclasses), but instead a Titan subclass. And that has some FASCINATING implications

The Taken King subclasses all have their in universe explanations for why they weren’t mentioned in the base game. Stormcallers are rare because it takes an insane amount of discipline and power for a Warlock to even summon arc in the first place. Nightstalkers tend to end up as recluses with a tendency to just kinda vanish for years on end.

But Sunbreakers? They’re a Titan Order. They helped build the early City. The reason they weren’t mentioned is because they exiled themselves for the safety of the City. Because their Light was too dangerous to be within the walls they were helping to build. Which implies that Sunbreakers are more prone than other Lightbearers to accidentally losing control of their Light. And the fact that you’d think, out of the three classes, the Titans would have the most control over their Light and the least prone to outbursts? That’s a really fascinating piece of worldbuilding!

…and the Bungie killed the entire order off screen and never mentioned their implications again

Curse of exclusively playing warlock is always trying to drop healing rifts in every class before realizing i cannot.

Aight sit down I wanna tell you all a story.

Back before Titan became an unknowable sphere of dark mass, I was running a Nightfall Savathun’s Song with two Titans. There was a Sunbreaker and a Sentinel, if I remember correctly. Anyways we get to that part where you find out the crystals are guardians and Ghost is like “oh no, oh well”. We destroy all the crystals and we head for the door but it doesn’t open. We wait. It won’t open. So there we were, two Titans and a Warlock awkwardly sitting there for 3 minutes until one of the Titans gets up. The Sunbreaker, he steps roughly 3 meters away from the blocked door. I’m thinking “there’s no way he’s gonna try and shoot it open”. The mf takes a good look at it, pops Hammer of Sol and just goes to town. I’m already staring in disbelief when my conception of reality shatters. The door fucking opens. The Sunbreaker supered the door and it fucking opened. I tell you idk how he did it but the Sentinel just went on with the strike like it was nothing. Titans are something else.

Titans come in three main flavors:

The government

Doomslayer

Dead

What's all this drama about classes in Destiny? I think it's pretty clear Warlocks are the most sexy, with Titans close second. I mean, have you seen the ornament for Warlocks from season of the Hunt? With Hive bones??? Or the funky crest we have in the Solstice armor? No battle to fight, just a clear winner.
