Small Titania Buff

[RadicalGamer56]

I've Been enjoying Titania's gameplay quite a bit. She's just enjoyable to play for me and that's really all I need, and I love when I can play any character wherever I would like, but it has been pointed out to me a few times that she simply doesn't stack up well against the late game content. After running some of the easier steel path missions with as much optimization that I was capable of, I barely made it through some of the missions. I won't get super extensive and detailed like some of the other posts i've glanced over for Titania because I would like to just see a small tweak made to her that would give her the little bit of power, she needs to contend with what the community considers the big hitters.

I would like to see one of two things; both would be nice but just seeing one would be plenty.

1. An increase to her base critical chance on her Dex pixia. That is probably the biggest thing holding her back since it doesn't have a decent crit or status chance. especially with only having a clip size of 60. I would like to see it increased to 25 at minimum so it's not crazy easy to get 100% crit chance but at least enough to feel good with a more often than not crit or allow someone to completely spec into crit. (I think it would be kind of neat if her crit chance was affected by her Ability strength, but definitely not needed. she just needs a small nudge to get her into a happy place)

and/or

2. Buff her Razorflies in some way. They are taken out too easily by AOE attacks. So possibly seeing them get either more damage to be a treat while they are alive or more survivability (armor and health values that are increased by a stat on Titania or just outright status immunity) so that they can do their job as distraction for a bit longer than they have been.

Pretty sure the main reason why Dex Pixia is statistically underwhelming is because as exalted weapons, stacking ability strength increases their damage output.  Diwata might have it better because there aren't as many archmelee mods.

While it's also not too hard to make a status build out of her pistols, I agree that a crit bump wouldn't hurt either.

I guess I would not mind if they wanted to just make Dex Pixia even more vicious, right now it works really well with a Galvanized Shot + diffusion slash/viral/heat build though. 

Because it has IPS+viral+heat using some 60/60 mods for viral and a high rate of fire and good status chance it will rapidly scale up, I think even some of Titania's tribute buffs like the slow are considered an additional status effect? That alone for me has been enough to clear Steel Path on a 250% range CC build, let alone the DPS builds. Those builds are massacre damage even an hour into an SP fissure for me.

I just wanted to make sure you have explored your build options before reaching this conclusion ^^

 Well you can actually make her crit reliably with arcane avenger and the corrupted crit chance mod for pistols. You can trigger it by using Combat Discipline, which is great on Titania because it's damage is reduced by aviator/boreal set as well as her Thorns buff, and her passive is great to regen that lost hp without needing another source of healing. The only issue is replacing Precision, because that's a HUGE damage boost, or having to replace Energizer, which limits you to very few options (helminth dispensary etc).

 But I wouldn't mind if she got buffed. A crit chance buff would be nice, but a large crit damage buff would be better since it would create more build diversity and nice synergies, like comboing with a Harrow friend.

 Alternatively, like I already suggested myself, ranged exalteds could get weapon arcane and exilus slots. Specially exilus. That would be a solid QoL buff to Titania, since it could improve her high recoil and spread when you fully stack Razorblitz, while the arcane could raise her damage a little bit.

 Also, it might be very obvious, but it might as well not be so here it goes: headshots make a difference. Like, a LOT of difference. I didn't notice it until I started grinding Zariman and used Titania for Vitoplast + quick Thrax takedowns and frequently hit 150+ lvs. It makes so much difference that not headshotting would take a while to kill them, while constant headshots would very quickly vaporize them.

The damage done by pixia, I think, is enough. If you want it to be more op, it is better to just make him the same as the mesa's pistol, which can be fired all the time without reloading.
