Titan Class Guide

Titan is a physical type class that's designed to be tanky. As a physical class, Titans make good use of the melee skill which has no cost. They also have a self-buff that increases their maximum health and a self shield based on maximum health. With the Taunt ability, Titans can grab another enemy's attention from afar while Charge allows you to close the gap between an enemy, stunning them in the process. A drawback to this class is that it's rage (or mana for magic classes) cost, compared to other classes, is the highest. If you do not mind this disadvantage, preferring to play a tanky class instead of assassin, and do not wish to play the cast heavy magical type classes, Titan is your class.

Stat Breakdown

Strength- Increases Physical damage and chance to Block with shield.
Stamina- Increases Health and Rage.
Agility- Increases Physical Crit and Dodge.
Spirit- Increases Dodge (absorb) and Health and Rage regen outside combat. Rage regen is half as effective in combat
Intellect- Increases Rage cost reduction

Stat Build

Your gear scales best with Strength and Stamina

The weapon and offhand I have shown here are the best (aside from the premium ones of course)
The other 3 stats suck on titan.
Titan is supposed to be a tank, so it’s abilities will cost more rage and deal less damage. The good news is that Titan's gear heavily focuses on your best stats. Rather than raising physical dodge separately, your strength also raises your block chance. Titans have the most armor but also the least magic resist so you might struggle against priest/phil enemies. I recommend downranking your skills depending on rage as Titan is the most cost heavy class in the game.

Training (activities > training)

• You should alternate between training Strength and Stamina
  • Do not even try training the other three
  • You can build more strength with enough rage healing items or to get more value from melee
• Eventually Strength will outweigh Stamina by a lot more
  • I don't recommend building too much more strength, but the gap can widen a little more.

Skills

Melee- Deals minor damage

This attack deals little damage but has a 1 second cooldown and costs no mana. Since titans scale with strength, this skill will be your bread and butter along with bludgeon.
Unlocked at Start and Rank increases every 15 levels

Bludgeon- Deals moderate damage

This attack is like Assassin’s Stab, but has a 3-second cooldown instead of 2 and deals less damage. Of course, it also costs more. This ability’s damage cannot be increased by a talent, although there is one for reduced rage. It’ll still cost way more than Stab. This skill is still your bread and butter though.
Unlocked at Start and Rank increases every 20 levels

Gash- Deals moderate damage over time

This attack costs more than Bludgeon but should still be used at the beginning of combat. This attack will deal damage 2 to 3 times (one tick equals 5 seconds) and is the most cost-efficient skill even though it costs more. Only use it if you can’t kill an enemy within 10-15 seconds. The 30% bonus damage you can get from the talent is negligible, compared to Assassin’s guaranteed double damage with Improved Sever.
Unlocked at start and Rank increases every 20 levels

Destroy- Deals massive damage with extra crit chance if enemy low on health

A very costly skill that has a very long cooldown of 20 seconds. Fun fact though, it's pretty much bludgeon but deals twice the damage and costs twice the rage. Only good if your enemy has less than 20% health, and even then it might not crit.
Unlocked at level 20 and Rank increases every 20 levels

Warstomp- Deal moderate damage to multiple enemies

A very costly skill that deals aoe damage, and with a 10 second cooldown doesn't fare well. Even if it only targets 1 enemy it's very rage inefficient, and to break even with bludgeon you'd need to target at least 3 enemies. This could work against multiple weaker enemies, taking them out in one hit. For example, farming bear/elk meat. Even if the enemies are a bit spread out you can farm them a bit faster compared to Assassin without aoe skills.
Unlocked at level 20 and Rank increases every 20 levels

Charge- Rushes enemy, dealing minimal damage and stunning them

As the name says, you charge at the enemy and stun them. Just use it when you’re about to fight the next enemy.
Unlocked at start

Shield Wall- Block damage based on 10% Maximum health

Block damage temporarily and scales with health. It also costs around 260 rage which is a temporary set back at a lower level. It can last longer with a talent, but the only purpose I can see is the precast factor. With just one point you can quickly recast it after the previous one is destroyed.
Unlocked at level 10

Taunt- Grab an enemy's attention, attacking you in the process

I consider this to be the titan’s equivalent to distracting throw but costs no rage and deals no damage. It has a longer cooldown and designed for a party rather than solo. It’s still good if you want to pull an enemy away from a mob. Charge does the same thing, but you'd have to move after anyways.
Unlocked at level 15

Titan’s Battlecry- Temporarily increases health

A simple skill that increases maximum health and not stamina, so it doesn’t increase your rage. It lasts 4 to 5 minutes and can be recast like Assassin's vigor can. This skill can be cast on your pet, but not other players.
Unlocked at level 10

Warrior’s Swiftness- Temporarily increases agility

A simple skill that increases agility by 10%. You don’t even scale off agility, a stat that already scales poorly. It lasts 2 to 3 minutes and has a cooldown of 3 minutes. So not that useful
Unlocked at level 30

Shield Bash- Stun an enemy

It’s the equivalent to Assassin’s Incapacitate but has lasts one tick less (so 5 seconds) and a shorter cooldown. It requires a shield.
Unlocked at Level 5

Rotation

1. Use Titan’s Battlecry if it expires
2. Begin the attack with Taunt if there are multiple enemies nearby
3. Cast Charge from a distance
4. Attack with Gash
   • Keep using it to refresh as long as you can’t defeat the enemy within 10-15 seconds.
5. Use Shield Bash if up
6. Spam Melee and Bludgeon
7. Use Shield Wall if up (unless 260 rage costs too much at your level)
8. Use Food if you are low on health or rage
9. Use Destroy, if you want, when enemy is below 20% Health

Tl;dr Spam Melee and Bludgeon for damage

Talent Tree Overview

600px
I consider the left tree to be the defensive/utility while the right tree is the offensive/utility
You should not worry about the Talent Tree early on as you only start with one and one for every 10 levels. There side quests near the second half of the game that rewards you with a total of 5 talent points. I will list all the talents you can learn and the order you should learn it in.

Tier 1

In the first tier, you have Improved Stamina and Improved Strength that increases your stat. You need all 3 points in this in order to learn a second-tier skill called Well Trained and Heavy Lifting respectively. At max level, you can gain up to 10 percent more of a stat through training. I recommend Heavy Lifting over Well Trained to deal more damage on a tank class.

You have Brutality, which increases crit chance by up to 5%. The only other offensive talent is Improved Gash.

Defiance increases block chance by up to 10% while Juggernaut increases armor by up to 25%. For some reason, Armor does not function as well so 25% doesn't actually mitigate as much. Defiance is stronger with a guaranteed 10% chance to block attacks.

Finally, you have Improved Bludgeon which reduces Bludgeon rage cost by up to 10%. Not worth trying to reduce an already expensive skill.

Tier 2

To reiterate, You need all 3 points in either Improved Stamina or Improved Strength in order to learn a second-tier skill called Well Trained and Heavy Lifting respectively. At max level, you can gain up to 10 percent more of a stat through training. I recommend Heavy Lifting over Well Trained to deal more damage on a tank class.

In the second tier, you have Enduring Protection which increases Shield Wall duration by 3 ticks (15 seconds). It probably won’t last long enough anyway, but maybe take 1 point to precast.

Precision reduces the chance for enemies to dodge by up to 10%. I have no idea how that'll affect your damage but missing an attack can be costly on titan.

You have Well Trained and Heaving Lifting, which I mentioned earlier, and Resilience and Improved Gash. Resilience reduces magic damage taken by up to 25% while Improved Gash increases your Gash damage by up to 30%. Both tier 3 talents are equally as bad, with Rampage at least having more purpose. Heavy Lifting talent is from the right talent tree, So improved gash has a minor advantage

Tier 3

Incapacitate is the only skill you have to unlock through the talent tree. It stuns your enemy for two ticks, which is a lot despite two ticks sounding like a little (10 seconds). It has a long cooldown of 60 seconds which might deter you from using it. But you should also be deterred from using it because the other talent, Penetration, is the superior one.

Penetration is a strong skill that allows you to reduce the effect of enemy armor by 20%. You’ll be able to deal more damage and is definitely better than a stun. This talent isn’t the most important though, as I consider Improved Stab to be Assassin's greatest talent.

Talent Order

This is, therefore, the order in which you should level your talents

Improved Sever 
Improved Strength to 2
Improved Stab 
Pain
Penetration  
Improved Strength to 3 
Masters training
Flexibility 
Focus 
Incapacitate
Channel Energy 
Thick armor
Improved Agility
Discipline
Improved Stealth (just to unlock them all)

Assuming you have 6 extra talent points you should unlock Penetration at level 80. You can decide to upgrade master training first, but I recommend doing it after Pain and Penetration.
