Nice. Sounds like my old death cult Mace brute (who I could never get into because all the maces were too small) is going to see the light of day again.

There was a short window last night where people on Beta were able to request access.

Lazarillo - Not where I sourced it, but I've just found out about that.

EDIT: It's come to my attention that the limited grant was dropped during an Incarnate Trial. This means there's no need to go rushing to Beta creating new characters so you can sit around Atlas Park waiting for an unlock, and if you do not have a Lv. 50 [The Net, Zwillinger, and Freitag are in there right now but none of them seems to be granting level bumps] you cannot test the trials. Therefore, no TW. The current Beta isn't intended to test Titan Weapons anyways, so it makes sense; they were just passing it out as a 'HEY PEOPLE COME TEST THESE TRIALS' thing.
| TheNet: To grant it requires us to pull up information from your account I dont feel right with asking and I do not have the tool to do. Please wait for Alpha Wolf to say he will be granting access. This means when he offers to grant it, not when he first logs in. |

The teasing is just way to much.... first the Facebook comments about it being on test, then the utter silence since then, and now this.... I'm GOING CRAZY!!

Oh, so you were just re-posting a description of the Titan Weapon models from someone who DID get access to them in the beta?

Unfortunately I just resubbed before Freedom... I never installed the VIP Beta client, but I have Test all updated. Let's hope I can download the gigs of data on my crappy country internet connection before they stop giving access...
Btw.... ANYONE HAVE PICTURES WE CAN DROOL AT?!!
it's just amazing, but the powerset mecanic (mementum) really slows you if you got a click-heavy secondary

TW/WP FTW!
I was leaning towards TW/Ela but if redraw is a killer than I'll let it pass.

Nice find. All the moves seemed very nice and what I expected them to be; slow but powerful. Only animation I didn't care for was the T9 power. I like AoE powers, just thought the animation could have looked cooler/different.

Looking at the video there's redraw... I can't believe they still add redraw to new sets.

What's more immersion breaking.... having a huge weapon suddenly appear in your hand and whacking a goon over the head with it?
Or having a huge weapon suddenly appear on your back where it hovers there a few inches off your back until you reach back and grab it.
*shrug* IMHO they are about the same. So why have it at all and punish me for using click heavy secondaries and power pools?
Still, loving the set so far and testing the crap out of it on test. I'm making a lot of notes and plan to post them WHEN I HAVE PROPERLY TESTED THE SET, instead of instantly making snap judgements and jumping down the developers throats.
So far it's very unique and it's nice to see a new AoE focused melee set.
Also, I commend the devs for putting it on the beta server when it's clearly still a work in progress and allowing us to help test it.

Get a weapon? Feel screwed over by going Regen, and having to click often. :/

After the awesome that was WM/SD for scrappers, I feel forced to roll TW as one as well (note: I know it can't be paired with SD) for the delicious AoE crit-goodness. Wanted to go /WP on the brute side for added HP/Regen but I'm a lowly slave to the crit monster.

Well, Stalker is not getting Titan Weapon, so I am bitter.
Stalker can only drool over those new cool looking 2H weapons. Stalker is apparently too "fragile" to pick up a giant weapon.....
(Do you ever wonder why the dev would have a problem with Stalker using a bigger weapon but they have no problem with Brute using a "skinny, slim" Ninja blade or claw that may look too "girlish" on him? Funny how theme-restriction is only applied to ONE AT but not to others. Oh better yet, since when do we need dev to decide what "theme" we should have? Why can't we decide if we want our Stalker to hold a giant Road Sign in the dark...?)
As I understand it, Titan Weapon works like "one big hit, followed by several faster hits and it has nice AoE attacks". I guess this mechanism is too difficult to fit Stalkers who 1. deliver big hits on a regular basis 2. will thoroughly enjoy aoe attacks.
I can't understand why Stalker can't have titan weapon. If they spent the time to make it, why not giving it to all 4 melee ATs. It makes no sense economically either. I am a huge Stalker fan and I will buy sets for Stalker only. Now, I can care less about Titan Weapon because seeing that will only makes me feel jealous/mad.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

It's not a killer. Momentum lasts for five seconds, so after you get it, you'll use three very fast attacks at most. Shouldn't be an issue with /ELA, actually a very good pairing for the +rech bonus.|

I got a level bumped 50+1 TW/Regen Brute and had no issues, although since regen is way more clicky than any other secondary, I'd say that some people won't want to pair regen with TW due to redraw (and you won't want to use a clickie in the middle of your 3-fast attack combo), but regen is an 'extreme' case in the clickyness department. Not taking full advantage of *one* Momentum was no biggie for me, the tier 1 attack which gives you +def recharges in 4 sec base, so as long as you hit it you'll have Momentum again shortly.
My TW/Regen also had both a ST and an AoE attack chain ready for whenever since he had 33% recharge bonus (spiritual, they were giving away empyrean merits for 1 infl on beta). And I was slotted with 2 accs, 3 dmg, 1 endred in each attack, so no recharge at all in any attack but the one granted by Spiritual Alpha (except for the PbAoE which had 1 rech SO instead of the endred). So I think even if you frankenslot a bit you'll have enough attacks not to have gaps by level 26ish (actually by 18 you already have some nice attacks but at that level I don't think any toon except claws or katana have a decent attack chain, haven't played stj tho).

I really cannot wait for this set. I am so going to have to make costume change macros to swap out the rock on a stick, railroad sign and rocket mid combat for a real "Hulk SMASH" super strength set.
