That's the extent of energy considering the loss from succor, though I could experiment with essence bond/balthazar's on the monk (taking from life bond) and adding more life bonds.
Seems to work extremely well. I've had poor luck clearing out all 4 portals, and had much better luck just clearing out the first portal on the left, and sitting there, with the prot monk flagged back. Had no deaths at all in that position, though I haven't had the chance to just sit around and test it for hours. When clearing out the 4 portals, I had the problem of getting to the right position.. Too close, and the moment you clear out the first 2 titans, they spawn new ones which hit the group, and I usually would have 2 madness titans or so left. After a little while that added up till the group wiped. Stay back too far, and you wipe them, and it takes too long for the next group to come that a scroll wears off.. Or in some cases, the next group misses you and moves on past <__<
I'll report my results and any modifications (though I think any reasonable team build can do this, that monk idea was brilliant with the bonding to keep the main player alive however).
Tlam's build worked well for me. I have only made minor modifications to it for myself. You don't need the ST defensive rit, but you need to dedicate as much damage as possible after the 2 healers and the monk bonder. Killing fast enough is the key to success, otherwise the titans can overwhelm your team.
Life Barrier - on everyone except the bonder himself, of course.
Life Bond - on the BiP
Succor - on your character so he can cast an additional Life Attunement
Life Attunement - This depends on the energy regen of your character. But I used it on my own character, BiPer, SoS/Restore Rit, and bonder since I was using a ranger.
I replaced his curse necro with my mesmer merc for greater damage.
Got my LS title from this. Starting from 0, this should take about 10 hours at the cost of only 1 Scroll of Beserker's Insight if you do it right. Proper placement is important.
