DA/TW or DA/Staff Tanker

I was wondering if someone could tell me which tends to be more fun to play and the advantages/disadvantages of Titan weapons and Staff fighting. I only have enough to purchase one of them so I can't exactly try them both out and decide which one I like better. Thank you in advance.

DA/TW eats up endurance like you won't believe. It practically requires Cardiac to lower costs, but given how both love AoE damage, it's aoe madness when you can manage things right.

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I'm partial to Staff Fighting with DA.

Good AoE, and Form of the Soul helps with DA's end issues while leveling. Then once you get Cardiac and Physical Perfection you can switch to Form of the Body full time and deal more damage.

If you have some patience, and are smart with your build...DA/TW is a monster...and I do mean that in every sense of the word. Damage aura + TW is insanity in a bottle.


Currently Playing:
Rage King - SS/Regen Brute (50+3)
Soulfire Darkness - Dark/Fire Tank (50+2)
Deaths Final Embrace - Kat/Dark Brute (50+3)

Both are good, but I think I'd probably opt for DA/TW between the two.

DA/Staff will be much easier to build and to play, especially while leveling up, but I think ultimately you get a better pairing with DA/TW, one that feels synergistic rather than merely complimentary. I'm currently leveling up both, and while the TW is more of a challenge in terms of managing endurance, I'm already liking him better. However, I've been playing quite a while and I can afford to pull out the stops for a high-end build when I'm so inclined.

If you're working with more limited resources, DA/Staff might end up being the more enjoyable option.
