best class for solo player?

Titan and Warlock have a wide variety of roles they can fulfill and have a defensive class ability and their supers are a lot more fun and have more useful exotic armors and better fashion.

Hunter lore-wise.

Warlock gameplay-wise due to sustain. For teamplay too. Just remember that warlocks need to press jump button asap to float higher, unlike other classes that require a pause before the 2nd jump

Titan for death by snusnu, hunter for cheap shots, and warlock for ability cheap shots.

Warlock, each element is a new and fun experience for beginners and is close to an rpg mage class just be aware the jump is a glide animation, so youll only move upwards if you activate it while moving that way. the also have access to a blink jump ability on void specs. solar is good for dps and enemy clearing with a bonus healing spec which is common place for all warlocks.


Titan close second imo the jump is better for beginners but titans are expected to have basic knowledge of their class before raiding as they are used a lot at the high end with the void bubble or arc missle specs.


Hunter if you either want to play a very high dps build for Pve at the endgame or support for your teammates with invisibility or the void bow shadowshot. Hunter jump is good for platforming as its a typical platformer double jump, some people find this easier some harder, hunters also have less ways to heal themsleves vs the two above hence why people dont recommend it as a starting class but its subjective

you dont pick a class because of their gameplay or stuff

you pick a class for their identity, and the hunter is the lone wolf. titans and warlocks have class abilities and one super that is very helpful for teammates. but hunter is exclusively selfish. yea there's one subclass where u can make ppl invisible and debuff enemies to take more damage, but even then ppl take hunters for their dps into raids, not that they're the walking heal or shield.

so if you're a lone wolf; pick hunter.

I suggest make all 3 , play though the intro missions (ie cosmodrome)and you will probably gravitate to one of them more than the rest. Then main that one you like best. every class can solo all content minus a few things like raids/GMs and you can LFG for that content or join a clan for that later on when you are ready or desire to see all content.

[Crystal Sharrd]

Just play the class you like best. I for the most part just play the singleplayer story content as a Dawnblade Warlock.

I am a Warlock and Hunter Main. Warlock since D1, Hunter since D2 came out for Pc. Ive never played Titan for that long because i can not stand this class. They are just bulky meat shields and nothing more. All they do the other classes can do better. Supporting your teammates? Just play a Warlock with Solar Well (Healing, DMG Reduction and DMG Buff). You want to kill enemies pretty fast? Both classes have good addclear supers. Wanna do huge Dps? Ok i give you that but that requires a specific exotic armor piece which can only be obtained by complete a near endgame activity.

A few weeks ago I would suggest Hunters but here is the thing. Hunters are garbage in the endgame. They might be fun to play but there are major drawbacks (atleast for me) that makes them outright horrible to build for endgame. Their arc subclass is completely bad and i only play that when i have to (for missions etc). Void is also pretty lackluster because Bungie nerfed the debuff from the super significantly and the exotic tied to that super. The only good thing hunter has is the stasis subclass. Solar is only good for dps but it is nothing spectacular. But stasis is so fun on hunter so its the only thing i recommend for this class. The good thing is that you dont really need a specific exotic to empower this build. But hunters follow a sad line. 90% of their exotics are outright trash. Many buff the hunter in a way that no one is going to use. I can name 5 exotics that are good in my eyes and worth using and thats it. This lack of good fun exotics makes it pretty hard to prep a hunter for endgame. I only suggest hunter if you know what you wanna do in the endgame with him and if you have a some of the must have exotics.It is not really beginner friendly.

I really recommend a warlock. The only drawback this class has is the movement and the abomination that is his jump. This is the only thing i outright hate on warlock but you get used to it after 2-3 hours of jumping. Warlocks have fantastic subclasses. Every subclass feels strong or unique. The only mandatory thing for endgame pve activities is his solar well but if you dont need it you can switch to one of the other subclasses because they are all great in my eyes. The diversity of how you can build a warlock is pretty good and warlocks have a good amount of really usefull exotics, many of them can be used on every subclass. 2 days ago I switched from hunter to warlock and i am really glad i did this.

At the end it is your own choice. I think a warlock is mandatory for pve endgame activities because of the diversity of builds and the usefullness of subclasses and exotics. Hunter is really hard to catch on in endgame because they are just good for dealing dmg. Titan is ok. It is good to have one in the team but if you are missing one you are kinda like "meh we are still fine". I would prefer a titan over a hunter tho unless the hunter is using stasis.

We punch (and throw hammers) good plus when void rework comes around we'll get another ranged melee along with a lot more support abilities along with a lot more people using bubble since it'll be a fast regenerating super like well.

Every class is equally viable in all content.

Depending on the state of meta balancing, some classes might be slightly more optimal than others but there is not nor has there ever been nor will there ever be a point where one or more classes are incapable of completing content designed to be soloable.

when you play your titan or warlock like a Hunter

Can you punch one thing and have them all go boom while healing you and restoring your melee ability and grenade abiltiy all as a part of the subclass? Didn't think so.

On an actually serious note here, Well is used in the endgame for the heals. Bubble titan is the stronger damage boost and is pretty much almost always welcome at most DPS phases as far as I'm aware.

Side note, I am a Warlock main.

titan and warlock if you're scared of dying and want to sit in your safe spot until its broken and hunter if you're brave to actually move out of your unkillable zone for 10 sec

I play all three, though main the Warlock, and I recommend the Warlock.

It's the most varied, when it comes to abilities and supers. When you get used to it, it also has the best platforming movement.

if you aren't a movement pro dude starting on warlock (in terms of jumping) is complete crap.

Just test out all 3
Its pretty easy to keep all 3 on pace, If you have one character a high light level with good loot, your loot is boosted for the other two characters a dastardly amount

Titans are good at taking a hit and dealing a hit, they have good mobility, some of the best supers and abilities out of the classes, their special exotic items are very nice oto

Warlocks are good at standing their place and survivng, while probably the slowest of the bunch, they are easily the most versatile and most unique items

Hunters are good at picking off targets and keeping themselves safe at all times, if you pair it with the right items they also have the best DPS In the game by a longshot but hunter can be more of a difficult learn

This is just my experience though, you might have other ones
Again try out all three! I started with Titan, fell in love with it, tried out warlock, fell in love with it and then tried hunter, fell in love with it

I dont main 1 Class so I know for a fact they can all be viable in any content, its just playing a bit differently and that difference is when you need to find that works best for you
