Still, speaking as someone who's Titan-tanked many MANY times for my FC, the reason why it's not a more viable idea is twofold:

1. The way you tank with Titan is incredibly goofy and awkward. Using his cooldown abilities, putting him on guard and intersecting yourself at strategic points to make him take different enemies, specifically targeting foe after foe... it's a circus. And,

2. Tanking effectively requires very precise timing at a lot of critical moments. Pets in this game do not respond quickly, ever, at all, under any circumstances. Barring a re-write of the netcode (which I hope is coming anyway for the sake of the game's health), the nail in the coffin of pet-tanking in any serious fashion is latency. It's sad, because the idea is awesome, but reality doesn't bear it out... at least at the moment.
