Advice on Tanking Titan?

[Lex_Luger]

FoF/BB are a given, so I didn't list them. Perhaps you didn't fully read my post, because I explained exactly why I do what I do. The first attack in the Halone combo has no enmity bonus attached to it. It's just like any other DPS's regular attack, expect you're not wearing DPS gear, so its pretty inferior. Halone has a 5x enmity modifier on it, which means even a 100dmg Halone, will generate 500 enmity, where as your 100 damage fast blade genereates... 100 enmity. This is really only effective because the only time your enmity will be suspect is before you land the first combo. By Shield lobbing, spirits within, circle of scorn, and doing a RoH, in 2 GCD's you have given yourself a sizeable aggro lead while your DPS start pounding away. During the phase3/phase4 shift, your healers are tossing huge medicas right around the time your shield lob is landing, as titans heart takes a moment before it is targetable. This is why you can shield lob, and loose aggro briefly before securing it if you aren't quick to react. Obviously, all of this depends upon the gear level of the tank vs the gear level of the DPS, but its a method thats been 100% tried and true for me for countless titan kills.

There were times where Shield LoB (SW/CoS on GCD cool down) and then starting my halone combo would hold aggro, and there were times where he would flash orange or yellow for a second, before the 2nd and 3rd part of the halone combo land. By doing Shield LoB (SW/CoS on GCD CD) and opening with a RoH instead of Fast blade, I have NEVER lost aggro, even for a split second, during those initial moments of the heart phase.
