Weapons

This build specifically uses a Quarterstaff to spam your main damage source, Whirling Assault. Focus on getting as much Physical Damage as possible to maximize your DPS, then Attack Speed to continuously execute Whirling Assault.
List of Weapons

Armor and Accessories

The Armour applies to Elemental Damage modifier is a vital part of this build's survivability. The Titan class has access to numerous passive nodes related to Armour, making it easier to have high elemental resistances and physical damage mitigation.

Lastly, having the Hits against you have reduced Critical Damage Bonus also synergizes well with the Blade Catcher node, making enemy critical hits deal significantly less damage.

Runes and Soul Cores

Equipment Sockets

Armor

Slot in Greater Iron Runes on your Quarterstaff to increase your Physical Damage, which is your primary damage type. For your armour, you can use Soul Core of Tacati for Chaos Resistance since it is the most difficult resistance to cap out. Otherwise, feel free to use any of the other elemental resistance runes to balance out your stats.

You only need a simple belt with as much Armour, Maximum Life, and Elemental Resistances as you can get. Make sure it can open all 3 Charm Slots because the charms mentioned above all help deal with enemy crown control.

The charms help mitigate Slows, Freeze, and Stun, which can all greatly hinder your movement and leave you vulnerable to fatal damage. Aim to get modifiers such as increased duration and increased charges for more consistent and reliable use of charms.

Tempest Bell IconTempest Bell
Shattering Palm IconShattering Palm
Eternal Rage IconEternal Rage
Vaulting Impact IconVaulting Impact

This build focuses solely on boosting your damage with Whirling Assault. Eternal Rage provides consistent Rage generation for Whirling Assault to consume, dealing more damage. Additionally, Uul-Netol's Embrace has the unique ability to convert your Physical Damage to Chaos Damage and allows you to break Armour with Chaos Damage.

Tempest Bell is used as a secondary source of damage. Applying Elemental Ailments to the bell further increases its damage, which is why we slot in Lightning Attunement in Whirling Assault.

Lastly, Shattering Palm and Vaulting Impact are used mostly for movement, and are not as relevant to maximizing damage.

※ Legend: Red = Weapon Set I | Green = Weapon Set II

For damage, focus on alloting nodes that provide Critical Hit Chance/Damage Bonus, Stun Buildup, Atack Area Damage, and Attack Speed. This ensures that your Whirling Assault can reliably defeat or stun all enemies within your wide range.

For defense, invest into Armour nodes such as Sturdy Metal, Blade Catcher, and Made to Last. By stacking Armour and having it apply to Elemental Damage with armour modifiers, you can easily become extremely tanky.

Make sure to invest into Blood Magic since it is much easier to sustain your HP rather than mana to keep using Whirling Assault.
