Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

[Conna]

I prefer WAR MT and PLD Off tanks on both Ifrit and Garuda. I prefer WAR MT and WAR Off tank for Titan.

The reason is for the two WAR Titan set up: two WARs DPSing the heart make for an almost Guaranteed Shatter. No LB3 required.

Also, a WAR will be able to more easily maintain two DoTs on Titan as well as keep up the Storm's Eye more easily (one less thing I have to do. Storm's Eye does not stack.)

Damage difference between warrior and pld is neglible. The optimal setup is 5 dps sch, whm and a pld. warriors require the slower more risky because longer fights increase chance of error triple heal strat or the warrior will die.

That is very much incorrect. My first Titan win was two heals and I didn't even have as much gear as I do now.

BTW, I do think that a use needs to be found for Storm's Path. There's no circumstance where I would ever use it over Storm's Eye. I don't want to argue with you, Lhun, I'm just... right now focussing on maxing self heal through inner Beast.

I'm not sure why Storm's path is even there. It's not even a very powerful hit. =/

It sounds like you're talking about the lvl 34 story mode Titan. Everyone else here is talking about the lvl 50 hard mode. Also, at 50, Storm's Path still only heals for 100-150. It also costs 20-30 more TP to use than every other ability. Cure I with 5 Wrath stacks is normally going to get you 800+ heals depending on healer gear. So yeah, it is ultimately a pointless ability as it stands now.

In the Final phase of hard mode Titan, he has an ability that will hit a WAR tank for ~4.5k damage. He also generally preempts this with a ~2k damage cleave + his usual melee for ~800. Storm's Path and Bloodbath aren't doing squat when all that happens in a 3 second window, or even over the course of the entire fight given healers will be needing to keep you topped off because of the aforementioned moves. There is no time in end game fights where damage is so spread out that anything but Inner Beast can do any meaningful amount of healing.

I'm not talking about story mode, and this isn't my first character. If you have less then or near a max of 7.3k total health at level 50 on hardmode titan and your healers don't have time to max you before he fires it (HE GIVES YOU SO MUCH WARNING!!) you are very bad at the game and have terrible gear. Also, you can immediately convalescence and fire every one of your self heals from monk and WAR the second it lands. Your "issue" isn't an issue.

Sorry, you'll probably ignore this but could you post on your 'first character'. Would like to have a look at it. Thanks!
