The TTTT thread? xD
My Titan/Elec Brute will be rolled up as soon as servers go live. Already got all 96 IOs sitting in my base including purples and glad armor proc ready to slot in him in addition to about 300 astral merits to email to him in the form of threads to get him incarnated out.
I'm pretty sure I've never been quite this excited about any powerset in the game before. Tomorrow is like freaking Christmas.
I'm trying to fit as many concepts into one TW/Energy Aura Brute as I can. A Cyborg-esque dude wielding a mace, a knight in armor swinging a giant axe, a Vanguardian or some other powersuit dude swinging a giant tech sword, a demon-corrupted warrior...I may not have enough costume slots, which is a first for me.
The trick is finding an appropriately thematically vague yet good name. I've been beating my head on that all night.

Meh.
Not sure why, I just have no interest in Titan Weapons.
Bring on Staff Fighting I say!
Til then, have fun everyone.

Too bad they didn't have time to do a Christmas tree or a candy cane for the titan weapons....that would have made it that much more awesome!

But for those who are looking forward to TW have fun for me also.
Still undecided about getting TW. It looks enticing but the real issue is once you get it, then what? It is the same old content on the ride from 1-50. Not much new stuff for that trip. It is a bit of a grind with a set that is END heavy; it will likely be a struggle/grindfest.
It there any particular reason to choose Scrapper or Brute for TW? Or is it a "pick whichever you like" set?

During the last Ustream, when Synapse (Phil Zeleski) was on, I asked him if we could get escrima in the game at some point. From what he said, I gather he's already made inroads into seeing if/how they could do it. Now that we have dual blades (and once we get staves), it'll hopefully bring it more into the realm of possibility.|

I was even disappointed when the competition didnt have it as an option to start. :/

I can't think of any particularly compelling reason that the set will favor either AT, and I say so having played both with TW, albeit briefly. Certain secondaries can still favor one or the other, of course.|

Edit: To quote what I was responding to, since there were several intervening posts while I composed.
Quote:
I've done it before. Pre-Inherent Fitness, I intentionally leveled my SS/Elec Brute up without Stamina. Admittedly it was a bit of a struggle, but I darn well did it. I don't fear endurance loss as much as a lot of players do. There's plenty of ways to mitigate the End usage, and the DPE on this set is better than average anyway.|

And sure, it's the same old content, but I'm looking forward to doing it with a genuine melee AOE powerset, not just one that has a couple decent AOE powers. Plus I've never used Energy Aura before. I've got five 50s and a sixth at 46; going through the game again isn't anything I haven't done before.

Plus, you know, it's freaking Titan Weapons. That screams Brute.

I chose Brute for TW mainly because the only scrapper secondary I can stand playing is /shield because everything else lacks a taunt aura or lacks offense... and of course TW like many other sets can't be paired with /shield (sigh). Brutes also have better resist cap (which does matter for me since I'm going /elec), higher HP (and with higher HP better HPS from Energize), damage auras that include taunt, and a better taunt compared to scrapper's confront. Brutes also have (in general) better patron options, gloom or superior conditioning are really nice which scrappers don't get access to. I do however hate how brutes are so much less responsive to damage buffs compared to scrappers, if Scrapper damage auras had a taunt aura I would have made a scrapper instead of a brute for this reason alone.

Well, do remember that Gloom has been bad for every weapon set, I don't see it being better for TW.|

But your other points are valid. More so with TW being AOE heavy, so keeping enemies around will be nice.

I think it's interesting people cite Superior Conditioning as a point in favor of Brutes. I consider Conserve Power significantly superior for endurance management. It is one more click to keep track of though, I guess.
So, its in the store now.
The weapon Pack is free.

Superior Conditioning is an auto power and Conserve Power is a clicky (incl redraw) with ~50% uptime depending on how much recharge you have. In the case of /ea and /elec they already get their perma energize to lower their endcosts, conserve power on top of energize doesn't have as much of an impact as conserve power by itself.

This.
Sorry, was on a TF when midnight hit so I forgot to check.
Finally, Duke Destruction (Titan/Fire/Body Brute) , the evil, Praetorian counterpart to Captain Collateral (WP/SS/Pyre Tanker), is born, with an appropriately ludicrous weapon to go along with my campy theme.

I'm surprised not to see a thread on the first page filled with oohs and aahs about tomorrow Dec. 6. Did the Titan Weapon Pack #1 harsh too many mellows?
C'mon people lets whoop it up like it's Titan-'99!
(Still trying to think up a concept myself. May be part Optimus Prime, part Dr Doom. Or something different entirely...)
