Sigh. Why does no one understand? Wastes of GCD? So you suggest running into the center and starting your combo in the center the arena while packpeddling titan to get him into position? I don't know about you, but especially if I'm playing with people I don't know well (in regards to their dodging ability and overall skill) I'll air on the side of caution and give them as much of an area to dodge attacks as possible. I.e. stand as far back as possible and shield lob. Shield LoB + Uncomboed Halone is more snap aggro than the first 2 parts of your halone combo, and like I said, should be the only point during the fight where hate is at all sketchy. I've also tanked a lot of 1 healer titans, so aggro is even a bigger issue with all the healing enmity coming from 1 person, and being able to out aggro the healer during those 2 GCD's where things can possibly can go wrong, is a safer bet.

As I stated earlier. I've done it both it ways. One works for me 100% of the time, one hasn't. Thats all the evidence (and the math to back it up) I can go by.
