Hey guys, warrior here who loves to run 100b with heros to complete quests and missions. However, there is a problem I can't get past and it's the HM titan quests. I wipe within the first few minutes in Tasca's Demise let alone Mineral Springs from massive panic and Frost titan AOE power for Defend Droknar's Forge. I usually beat HM material in GW with the standard PvX wiki 7-hero squad and never had a complaint. Although, this quest chain is killing my hope right from the start. Any tips/pointers or a hero team worthy or maybe I just don't know how to handle myself under this type of pressure from actually balanced and CC monsters like Malice Titans and Frost Titans. Ty in advanced!
Got all campaigns, all heros (no mercs), and their runes/weapons are unique stalves or golds customized as best as I can under no money.

That's what I ran. I didn't attempt to optimise it but it got the job done. (Ignore the health and energy bars; I set them up when NF came out using a random mish-mash of whatever I found so don't use them as a guideline on what gear to use.) First attempt was with my regular HM setup to see what the content was like, second attempt was with an AoE thing with smiters, third attempt was with that. I'm sure there were better skill choices - I have a terrible habit of throwing together messy Paragon bars - but the most important thing really is how well you play. If you aggro the foes well and they ball up they'll collapse. If you don't aggro at all and the mob charges unhindered into your backline, you're in trouble. Make sure you take the time to survey each bit carefully to figure out which direction to approach from and where you'll set up your cornerblock. It makes all the difference. Plus, with level 40 foes any death penalty you acquire just melts away so wiping actually doesn't have too much of an impact (though if you don't consider consumables to be cheating that doesn't really matter). Also note that titans that spawn from corpses of other titans aren't linked to the original mob, so if you have to you can run away (or wipe), then come back and pull out the spawns.
