So...I created a brand new Titan Weapon Tanker with...

...electric armor and so far...I am impressed. I have this huge tanker with this big honking sword that really looks cool and deadly. I'll be using him for TT tonight on Champion. I suspect I can get it him up to 5 or 6th level before we start tonight so I can atlease do some nice damage.

My question, has anyone else started a new TW tanker yet? If so, what did you pair it with and how is it working out?

I made mine with Invuln, but haven't gotten to really get into it yet. It'll be until at least level 25 before I can make a real comment.

I had been playing TW on Beta for a while now, though I mostly did Scrappers and Brutes. But really, TW goes well with most everything. One thing that it's particularly useful for is that most of the attacks are AoE'y. So each hit is really more of an AoE taunt moreso than other secondaries. This really helps with some of the primaries like Willpower that have pitiful taunt auras and keeps you from spamming taunt. It's one of the best sets for Willpower, and I'm not a huge willpower fan myself.

But Electric works wonderfully with it with Lightning Reflexes, as recharge is important for TW.

However, I think my favorite may be Dark Armor with TW. Most of Titan Weapons attacks are Cones and Dark Armor's Fear and Disorient auras keep them clustered better for those cone attacks. Though personally, I haven't made a Dark/TW Tanker, it was a Scrapper. I'm sure it would still make a viable concept for a tanker if that's your style though. Dark armor is under-rated. :/

Last night I took my newest Tanker (Thunder Shockwave) and raised much havoc. I am very impressed by electrical armor even if it is exotic. However, what I noticed the most came after receiving the first three attack powers (Def Sweep, Crushing blow, and Titan Sweep) when momentum is in effect I got off four quick attacks using DS, CB, TS, & DS. The speed at which these attacks happened was surprising especially considering one is swinging a sword the size of a Buick!

Additionally, with every swing those foes that started to run immediately turned around and came back even if they were about 30' or so away from my toon. That supports Brickbat's information about each swing having a nice taunt effect.

What really was crazy was at last night's Tanker Tuesday. Our group of tankers participated in the DFB trial twice, of the eight members, most if not all had some kind of swinging weapon, four I know were TW. Talk about driving the enemy insane! We cut a huge path through these bad guys, gaining levels, and fun was had by all! By the time it was over, Thunder Shockwave end up at level 14.

Even though I was .. so so with titan weapons on the test server, im still annoyed as hell that i only have 740 paragon points >.> 3 more weeks to go....

My only complaint is there is no decent hammers. The fusion hammer is pretty cool but I would have loved to see a normal yet oversized warhammer.

I made a Inv/TW but did not play him a whole lot as of yet.

My only question now is... mids ? pretty please

So do I hear correctly that end is a problem with TW? Mine is a TW/SR Brute so I am wondering what I will be dealing with concerning end.

TW is end-heavy because it has a lot of AoE abilities. It's most noticeable on sets that are already heavy on endurance, like Dark Armor. /SR isn't known for being an endurance hog, so you should be okay. However, you also won't get any power in /SR to help you with endurance, so you won't be as well off as, say, an Elec, Energy, or Willpower character.

Even if you dont have the points to buy the weapon set at least pick up the weapons pack #1 for free before they yank it from the market and reintroduce it later with a price tag around its neck.

Invuln has no end management tools but it is very end friendly.
I bought the custom skins pack since its free at the moment, still waiting on my alotment of points though it's gonna kill me

I have an Invul/TW here.

Ice/TW. I skipped the Tier 2 attack and may need to rethink that as DS>TS>FT>DS is an END hog, but then my END regen is pretty pitiful right now. Gonna have to PShifter Proc ASAP and see about building some recovery in. I do love the set though and I feel like a boss with my 2 AoEs and 2 more on the way. Energy Absorption, I'm counting on you to keep my blue bar full

TW looks fancy. I want it but plan to wait for Mid's so I can see the number's.

I plan to take Fire Armor for more offensive goodness.

Elec/Titan here. Definitely having lots of endurance problems, but I'll have Power Sink in one level and that should take care of that.
