Why is the Titan so expansive?

[Shangrila00]

A/E are also ideal buffing paths for a SC. Honestly though, the Titan is kind of awkward. The shield is nice, but it still can't fight naked because it has no special abilities. (and it can't fly, all the best combat pretenders can fly) Its paths aren't great as a bless platform, and it's too expensive as a do nothing scales pretender. So it ends up never being used.
