The Warrior solo Titan build is almost complete. Right now I can kill any number of earth, wind, and water Titans with ease. I can kill Rots too, but they're not pleasant. The only thing I can't kill right now are the Wild Growths because the poison is too much.

Currently, I have a working W/Mes build (and I cleared the whole zone with it and got 4 Magmas, as you can see), and I'm trying to make a viable W/Mo build. More to come...

Nice to see you are working this out. Have you tried the 77 SB that we pm's about or are you just going to stick to solo for now?

I find Titan farming in kryta a waste of time. Crappy drops lots of blind but it's fun when your bord. Will you relase your build?

W/Mo is pretty much impossible, just not enough defense or offense, sadly...

Here's the W/Mes build, which is kinda funny (I'll explain that)



Skills #6 and #7 are just filler, seriously. I suppose you could use sprint and whatever, I just couldn't find anything worth having. This is really a 6-skill build at heart. Watch Yourself doesn't do much good because being blind and using IW doesn't give you much adrenaline. It might charge up once every 2 minutes. But do notice that this is a Gladiator's Armor-friendly build. The +80 armor from Dolayk and Ele Resistance (and +5 on my sword) negate almost all magic attacks (except for armor penetrating ones) to 1 or 0 damage. With that much defense, you can use Healing Signet almost freely and take very minimal damage from most spells.

Equipment: Any sword, +5 Defense pommel highly recommended. 45/2 stance or enchanted shield (stance is a safer bet, just in case you lose Illusion of Weakness)

Strategy: Hmmm, I can't say who to kill first, but definitely save the Earth Titans for last. They are total pushovers... Here's the dilemma- Water Titans use Maelstrom, which can interrupt your IW if you're not paying attention. Not a major problem. Wind Titans, however, do the most damage, since Chain Lightning and Enervating Charge have 25% AP (CL does about 20-22 damage per hit, EC does 10-12). However, Wind Titans also help you heal yourself, because with weakness and blind on you, I Will Survive gives you 11 seconds of +6 health regen. So in a mixed group, it doesn't hurt to leave 1 Wind Titan standing for a little free healing in a pinch. IoW is good emergency health; keep it on at all times. But a mob with 2 or more Wind Titans can cause a lot of trouble (and there's at least one mob that has 3), so you wanna try to get to them first under those conditions.

I made 2 runs today, once with favor and once without. The first run netted me a whole bunch of purple and gold armors, the second almost nothing worth keeping (I didn't clear the whole zone though, but it wasn't looking good). Keep that in mind...

Will it make you rich? Probably not, but it's a challenge and a time sink. That's enough for me. If anyone finds something useful for skills 6 and 7, please do share. Enjoy!

I guess I'm lucky then, I got 5 or 6 gold armors last night ouside LA as an IW mesmer. I'll definitely try this W/Me build.

Not to burst your bubble, but to my knowledge there have been 2-3 sucessful W/Me Titan Soloing Builds posted already, and I've posted my own W/Mo Build for Krytan Titans almost a month ago.

But then your version of the W/Me might be BETTER then the current versions so don't stop, I applaud the effort. Also, the "I Will Survive Skill" might fit nicely into my W/Mo build, something I hadn't thought of, thanks.

That's cool, I guess I'm just another sufferer of Usethesearchbuttonfoolitis.

MeNoFat: Haven't gotten the chance to team up with an SB monk yet, mostly because this weekend was pretty much shot. Friday and Saturday I was out of town, today what little I played was between naps, and now I'm at work. Heh.

So IW does work when your blinded eh? And for a W/mo build you could just have Defy pain, Dolyak and WY that should be enough...

W/Mo build to farm Titans.

Skills:
1. Adrenal attack skill
2. Watch Yourself!
3. Mending (Yes the noob skill)
4. Dolyak Sig, or Endure Pain if you don't have the Sig.
5. Balthazar's Spirit
6. Mark of Protection (Elite)
7. Healing Breeze
8. Shielding Hands

Attribute Pts:
Weapon Skill: 13 (or whatever req. you have)
Tactics: 7
Strength: 8
Healing Prayers: 8
Protection Prayers: 7

Upon leaving town, cast Balthazar's Spirit on yourself, wait for energy, then cast Mending. You should have anywhere from 10-15 energy now.

Wind Born Titans: These are a matter of sheer endurance, they blind you and you'll just have to endure it. The good news is eventually they cast Chain Lightning to much and exhaust themselfs to no energy, therefore they stop blinding you and you can kill them quickly. Kill these, first.

Water Born Titans: These are a matter of focus. Watch them carefully, even if they are not targeted. Be sure to identify when they're about to cast the skill Maelstrom, it appears as a water crystal in front of them. Then do one of the following things

-Move, move away or to the side till you're out of range of the attack point.

-Tank, if all your defense skills are charged, not likely, use them and maelstrom dmg is reduced to 0. Or if you have Mark of protection charged, use it, good tactic for a fast health+energy regen is to stand in a maelstrom with this on.

Kill these Titans, 2nd

Earth Born Titans: These are a matter of defense and healing. These Titans spit out dmg fast, using Stone Daggers, but if you keep your defense up by alternating skills, and keep healing breeze on you, they become an energy regen factory. Kill these Last.

Combos:
Titans are easy to kill individually, but in groups they can be lethal to the unfocused or unpracticed player. It's best to take on only groups of two and three to begin with, then when proficient with the build try four.

Key points:
-2-3 second glances: watch your skills, health and most of all your mini map, patrols are lethal.
-Watch Water Borns: Practice this skill at all cost, most deaths are because of a surprise Maelstrom.

Loot:
-Titan Armor, usually Normal or Purple. (1 Steel, 6-7 iron)
-Wands, Staves, Bows, usually blue (1 Steel (wands), 9-11 wood (staves and bows))
-Molten Claw, salvages to granite slabs, I just like them as trophies.
-Magmas Shield, Strength Sheilds, Awesome Design, usually normal, req. 9, 10
-Magmas Arm, Hammer.
-Gold, usually 100+ per pile
-Other Random Loot, usually anything that deviates from the list above is very good in mods, req., etc.

My best record is 4 titans at once:
2 Wind, Water, Earth
2 Water, Wind, Earth

My build got recognition. ^_^ My day is officially made.

P.S. If you can find a W/?? build to solo fire/ash titans I will be very, very impressed/grateful.

P.P.S Don't feel bad, everyone forgets the search button at least once. I have.

I've had them in mind for a while, there's just something very unpleasant about being on fire 100% of the time. I'll look into it.

Ken Dei's build is way to slow, best thing to do is use imp farming build but change it slightly and avoid wind titans, you can take on as many as you want then, but i think i will try this IW one out of boredom

Avoid? Never!!! I did remember today to take my Ice Imp farming shield out of storage (how COULD I have forgotten about that???)



After all, -5 is better than -2... SLAUGHTER!



Oooh, and they drop Fellblades too! Yeah, this could be the start of a nice relationship...

Here's the final cut (from me, anyway):



Drops IW to 25 per hit, so you don't quite kill a Titan in a single cast (takes about 85% of its life though), but, when you're not blind, the sword damage, bleeding, and deep wound take out the other types really fast and it's not as energy reliant. All you need is a req. 9 or better sword. You could, with this, switch to wyvern armor (don't need as much energy as often), change your sword to an enchantment mod, and still take the same damage (+5 from armor, -5 from sword mod). 36 seconds of IW should be enough to finish one Titan even at 25 per swing. My only enchant mod is on a borrowed sword, so I can't test it for sure, but I think it would be enough.

Once the Windies are all dead, it's business as normal, you'll only need energy for refreshing Elemental Resistance.

Wulp, I'm done with this build. See 'ya after the rebalance!

EDIT: ok, so I lied...



I'm going to bed now...

I have tried your titan farming build kvndoom...very nice...but for that little 6th and 7th skill slot problem...i use 2 interupt skills. This really help againts Wild Groths. With your build it is easy to survive the poison, and with interupts u can stop him from using troll ungent.

To get the quests u have to beat the final mission in the fire islands. Once you do u get teleported to forge. From there go to the Glint statue and kneel to get the avatar of glint to appear. Talk to her and get the Defend Droks quest. Beat that then return to the avatar to get Defend Denravi, Defend North Kryta Province, and Last Day Dawns quests. You cant really farm on LDD so i do D Denravi. Talk to shadow in denravi then go out to tangle root. Dont talk to Evennia just kep going u will find alot of titans. Hope i helped.

I find using a warrior to farm Titans slow and boring since you waste around 30 seconds to just kill one titan at a time. I find an invic-necro kills faster but then again it's for a warrior to farm titans if they don't have a monk, necro, or mesmer.

Farming Titans? It has been my craze for the last few weeks. I have fallen out of love though. My drops have bottomed out. Now all I get is useful for raw materials. I think I have like 85 claws. Are they good for anything?

Farming titans is a good challenge and it is free. The best gold titan armour I found had a superior divine monk rune on it. I can usually take on 6 without a problem. I was running W/ME axe build but I have found sword to be more effective. Bleeding is nice. The only real challenge is wind titans, rotting titans, wild growths and group of 8 or more.
I have never gotten a decent drop from the wild or rotting ones. I remain hopeful that a gold magmas shield will drop.

The Wind titans were really a pain because they were in most groups and will keep you blinded until they are dead. I got tired of being blinded so I went with Illusionary weaponry to make those wind titans pay and to speed up the run. I generally target them first, second, and third. I generally activate elemental resistance and illusionary weaponry and charge the wind titans. It gets a little rough sometimes on the way in.

Here is my current build,

Sever artery - bleed em dry

Savage slash - nice against spell users and trolls ungent - that covers every titan. It is lovely to interupt the blinding spell!

Illusionary Weaponry - really only use it against wind titans

I will survive - one of my favorite skills these days -primarily for wind titans, rotting titans, and wild growths - Very very handy

Watch yourself - a little support - good once wind titans are dead. Helps when the pressure is up and IW is not. Useful when combined with dolyacts for fighting rotting titans and wild growths.

Dolyacts - my favorite farming tool - Usually get 18 seconds on it

elemental resistance - A beautiful skill that makes the whole thing possible. Don't activate when fighting wilds and rottings. It is bad when they are part of a mixed group.

healing signet

I use glad armor and 2 superiors and assorted minors
collectors Stance shield or while hexed version and a variety of swords.

Illusion 8
Inspiration 3- 4
Stength 12
Sword 11
Tactics 12

It is a good challenge but I think I may need to rotate my crops. LOL! I just found a gold sword with a 19% enchant mod and +17 damage when hexed last night (somewhere else). It will work good with IW. It is one point less than max but who cares!

I started doing this run to, alot of fun, the animations on the faces of the
Titans are funny, but I get interrupted alot when trying to get IW going, then
it is a long wait and heal to get it back again, any tricks here other than
using MoC ?? I tried make sure I was not totally surrounded but they are good
interrupters..

Same problem here, just make sure you dont have Maelstrom bouncing off your head. Not much of a problem out of Lions, but from Denravi its a bitch. Seems everygroup has two growths and thats no good, so far I havent done much from Denravi. Im not geared in Gladiators but I dont think energy is the problem, its just hard and time consuming...

Flurry + IW?

You said you had empty skill slots.... wouldn't flurry up your dmg output by 33%?

They stack right?

Wouldn't this just push your build to the max? or am I missing something?

it was fun trying out this build. i did change it a bit because i found myself never actually using my sword skills since im almost always blind, so, the growths were becoming a pain but i managed to get around them by interupting their troll aurg.

my problem trying to use a sword interupting skills for that was either i was always out of energy trying not to die from poison or i was using IW atm and u cant use melle skills while on IW. i brought with me cry of frustration and it woked pretty good. i know the energy thing is a problem but i can change to a staff pretty fast to cas it. i finished the quest alone using this build



i dont have the screen of the dead boss in this pc ill post it later
