So number crunchers, Titan Weapons?

It's out, the numbers are available, have any good number crunchers managed to wrap their head around the sporadic burst damage that is Titan Weapons? Having looked over the numbers, the very high base damage of the set combined with cones and the +defence make it look like the bees knees (Ohgodyes Rend Armour) but how does it really shape up compared to other sets? Anyone have some maths to show off?

I've done some work on the set's DPS. Basically, the goal is to use FT whenever it is up. I'm using a chain of RA-FT-CB/DS-AoD-FT for single target, which I calculated to be a base DPS of 82.32 using DS, 90.00 using crushing blow. Translated into scrapper numbers, that is a base of 101 DPS before criticals. In comparison, dark melee's chain of Smite-SL-Smite-MG is only in the 70s.

I could easily see the set's maximum performance setting records, though it will be very hard to leverage it because of the set's mechanics. Which is exactly the point.

The set also can use a large number of -resistance procs, potentially 3 in the chain above (2 achilles' heel procs and a glad -res proc). Combined with 7.5% from RA and the set could put out an average of 20-25% -resistance, greatly upping the damage. It's build up power is actually worth taking because it potentially doubles the length of momentum, which can increase DPS more than its paltry +dam % shows.

Oh, and I hear it has some AoE capability

shame it cannot be paired with shields :S just have to live with my TW/WP

My Tw/elec brute is 50 and all purpled out and such, 45% S/L (didnt take defensive sweep) and 97% rchg before hasten. I tried a pylon earlier without alot of success, ie it died pretty slow. It was prolly my attack chain though and/or the fact that I'm not really built for it and/or only 1 -res proc (in rend armor), and my hecatomb in rend armor also (meaning less procs than putting it in follow through. May post my time if I can improve it some more.

Mmk, taking some advice from Combat on attack chain I got 268.78 dps (only did a single try, will do more later when I get my accolades and stuff).

My attack chain rotated through rend armor, follow through, arc of destruction, and crushing blow, in a "hit whatever was up" rotation. There is alot of room for improvement there. There were also sporadic gaps caused by various things most notably trying to hit follow through right as I lost momentum causing me to sit there for a sec. I also had to keep a few lvl 52 rikti bosses around me so that I could run my dmg aura as well as have power sink bait. I had to use Energize and Power Sink every 30-35 seconds, a build using Cardiac might get a better time if it meant not having to use energize/power sink constantly, since that ate into by dps quite a bit, I also didn't have any +end accolades. The only incarnate powers I had were T3 Spiritual and T3 Reactive.

That's pretty ridiculous actually. The set has been live less than 24 hours and people have purpled out 50s of it already?

That's insane.

Shinobi had the sets all ready to go before TW went live. The fact that there are lvl 50 TW toons about can't surprise you mate.

Ew god, oblits only have a quad with end redux. If I have 4 oblits (death shroud, aod, whirlingsmashthing, that-other-not-defsweep-aoe), that is going to chew up a whole lot of endurance, even with pp, 2 shifters, numina, miracle, and some ios in stamina. :|

Eradication is the better option for TW, in my opinion, if your secondary benefits from the e/n defense. That way you can do four pieces of erad, the scirocco's triple and the multi-strike dam/end/rech. Or I guess MS has a acc/dam/end too heh, might as well save money now that I think about it.

Agility is nuts! Get it, slot it, love it.

It gives about 5% to my corr the rech is nice and extra end from end powers if ya got em, oh yeah you can fly really fast with it too!

So, on a TW/Invul scrapper, how would agility alpha compare to cardiac?

On paper, agility seems far more attractive with the +recharge and the def which would put my 4 energy type defenses comfortably close to 45%, however with only stamina and PP being the only two endurance modification tools it probably won't save the character's blue bar as much as cardiac does.
