Re: Titan pretenders
There are very few viable titan chassises. This is because most of the time they are too expensive with too little magic and are just poor cousins for some of the others. Thus they never get used.
The worst ones are the old Dom2 pretenders, the two Sons of the Sun, Lord of the Gates, Mother of Lions and of the new ones Lord of War.
The Celestial General loses out to the male titan in a bad way because 25 points more for the titan gets you 100% shockres and one more level of Air magic.
In general, most of the titan chassis pretenders are simply completely outclassed by a certain few builds or are too cost inefficient compared to monster type builds or even rainbow mages (if you're not going for a high dominion SC with awe).
Similarly, rainbow mages have practically only a couple of viable options, with the Great Enchantress being the best one overall.
All of the pretenders would benefit from a rigorous analysis and tweaking. Some builds are very likely to get tweaks in the next patch. Thanks for resurrecting this particular topic, doing a general writeup of this has been on my to-do list for a good while.
