Because of Etheric Light, you are able to get 42 light VoG helms and CE helms. Both can have inverse shadow and Raw INT, easier with the VoG helm as its inverse shadow is static. Combine this with Ruin wings you have the effectiveness of Saint-14 with augmented heavy ammo drops and faster melee. Which, for Titans at least you should always run a INT/STR build. Of course, it is a bit harder to get a 34 right now with ruin wings currently. You would pretty much have to get the chest from Osiris in order to do this.

No what makes saint 14 amazing is its ability, not how fast you get bubbles. Yea it's good, but having over shields and blinding anything that walks in for a good amount of time, is far more useful in POE. And everywhere else. I haven't taken my saint off since I put it on. I have every titan exotic and those are the most useful and keep me alive the most. You get super energy from everything, plus blinding, plus over shields every time you walk back into the shield. Have it set to maximum time and it is the ultimate defensive setup.

Ever hear the phrase the best defense is a good offense? Sure, a defensive build helps you stay alive but it does not encourage proactive play, it is like a safety net. It is viable but not the end all concerning builds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rNe2jbD6BQ

You obviously have no idea how I play. Nearly every round I finish in first with the majority of the kills. I know how to play my titan more effectively than a lot of people.

Edited by Saint Genji: 5/22/2015 3:12:10 PMYeah I said the defensive build is viable but not the end all concerning builds. However concerning Skolas himself you pretty much always want to run Weapons on WoD because of the extra 25% damage it provides. edit: Of course Blessing does provide much more security, so if you aren't confident you won't be killed by the time you pump out all your rockets I can definitely see people running that.

I run an orb generator Defender with Ruin Wings for heavy kill orbs and specifically go after mobs with heavy instead of the boss, max strength for melee kill orbs, and make sure to pop blessings bubbles for another 5 orbs thanks to Gift of the Void. I do a much, much better support role running this compared to Saint-14.
