Most would say the Titan helmet is the top helmet because of the 30% increase in damage that can be added to a weapon,but that is only the case if a augment slot is Free. If not the Titan helm only garners 15%.extra damage. Also, although it does have a high physical resistance. all of the higher tier armors also have high physical resistance.The only high end armor with high toxic resistance is the Medusa set. The odds of finding a Medusa to match the Titan is low. Another drawback of the Titan helm is the 5% weight penalty.
A far better Helm is the Medusa The high Toxic resistance matches well with any of the higher tier armors. all of which have higher physical resistances. so the chances of finding a Physical armor is greater than a Medusa. And Unlike the Titan helm, it carries no weight penalty. The Titan helm bears a 5% weight penalty.
But the factor that makes the Medusa the top helmet in the game, is one that most players dont know about or have forgotten .Its Reload bonus.. Even the standard Medusa grants a hefty 6% reload bonus , which is equivalent to 4 skill points. For a low level player, thats a great advantage. The Black, even the Red Medusa grants a 9% increase in reload speed., that is equivalent to all the reload masteries total. Or the same as 6 Skill points. The Red, BLACK medusa helmet can save a player 6 Skill points in reload.
Again, the Titan helmet does not automatically garner 30% more damage, Only 15%. the Extra 15% only comes into play if a Augment slot for Target assiat is available. if ANY helmet can use a Augment slot for target assiat, the Titan ONLY adds a additional 15% , not 30%. If a player augments their armors efficiently, their helmet should have 2, not 1 Augment slots not used for resistance.
Ex. my ,medusa helm has Target Assist AND Body fueling. In the End, the Titan Helm can be a liability. The 5% weight penalty, Low toxic, High Physical Res.. the chances of finding a sole Medusa armor is NOT enough of a loss just to gain 15% more in damage. A special note to Heavy Class players.. Just 1 Skill point in Hold the Line will Increase your weapons damage by 30%. so the Medusa is by far a better helmet, Esp. for Heavies.In short that 9% Reload bonus..6 Skill point. all the reload masteries.
