Tstroke vs. Titans: The Showdown

[Jamiroquai]

What areas of PvM does each one excel at, what parts of PvM is each horrible at? PvP aswell?

Do Tstrokes only work well only if you either have high lighting damage or other items like rainbow jewels, infinity runeword, griffon's diadem to accent the +- lighting damage/resistence?

I'll start with this, I heard Tstroke worked wonders on Baal, but I tried them with about 1-4800 CS damage and no other items like the ones mentioned above and didn't notice any magnificent change, in fact I'd say it took longer.

Welcome to the world of T-Strokes. I rank them as inferior to Titan's in every way. They don't even look cooler.

for the "amazing" bonus of -15% enemy light res you sacrifice

huge stat boost
life leech
replenish --> no ethereal
damage (elite titans > tstrokes in physical damage)

even in pvp titans win

I'd use them together with some IAS shield to kill baal if you really want to use them. Titan's are better in general though.

If you dont need the stat bonuses/replenish/all other good things of titans then t-strokes will be better (-15 light resist is huge imo). Of course titans will be better 98% of the time.

I use tstrokes on switch for my hybrid zon (strafe/LF/CS) and it works great. Since i use my bow 90% of time, i dont really need the replenish as i will have enough javelins for a couple of runs. I don't need the stat points and the fr/w either. As for the damage, i noticed a big difference especially when using CS on big guys like baal.

The blue color is lovely too, though ethereal titans beat em look-wise.

[AnimeCraze]

T-Stroke's -15% is really useful, but the fact that it has a small stack and no replenish makes it inferior if you are ever going to throw it. The only use I can see is for CSing some big enemies.

[muahahahaha]

titans all the way

[JME]

I've got to agree with most of the others....titan's, hands down winner.
