Striker is arguably the weakest class right now, especially in PvE. Its main selling point, Fist of Havoc, is outclassed by so many other supers, including the Sunbreaker’s Hammer of Sol which essentially serves the same purpose with much less risk. In order for a Striker to successfully pull off its super attack, they need to charge head first into danger. Right now the risk isn’t worth the reward. Any enemies that aren’t caught by Fist of Havoc (and even strong majors that are) will usually pummel the Striker right after they are done using it. So how do we bring the Striker into Year Two relevancy? Make Fist of Havoc the most powerful attack in the game.
Fist of Havoc, considering the risk that you have to take to use it, should be a nuclear weapon, obliterating anything caught in its blast. Whether they are red enemies or majors, they should be completely annihilated by the explosion. Only named Majors or Ultras should be able to survive it. Otherwise what is the point of it? Why not safely Nova Bomb/Storm Trance as a Warlock or Hammer of Sol from a distance and cover more ground? This would lead to some interesting decision making. As a Titan do you play it safe and still remain destructive with Hammer of Sol (but maybe take a little longer to kill some Majors) or do you risk life and limb destroy packs of enemies in one single swoop.
Also, some kind of escape mechanism would be great too to give Strikers a chance to survive after dropping Fist of Havoc. Perhaps an overshield and increased agility that is dependent on how many enemies you defeat with Fist of Havoc as some kind of new perk?
