I've been gone for about 6 months overseas, when I left I needed to finish the titan quest in Tyria. I'm a lvl 20 W/x and I'm trying to finish the quest with heros and henchies. Any tips or does/don'ts would be great. Thanx

Titan quests (e.g. Defend North Kryta Province) or Titan mission (e.g. Hell's Precipice)?

The primary failure reasons don't change much either way. In order, the greatest reasons that people fail:

1) Multiple Sparks of the Titan roast them alive with overwhelming fire damage. Rodgort's Invocation, given the recent augmentation, is a huge problem.
2) They break down greater titans into large and unmanagable groups of lesser titans. In many cases, a lesser titan is far more lethal than the greater titan from which it spawned.
3) They antagonize larger groups of titans and run face-first into problems #1 and #2.
4) They don't disperse; a lot of the quest-related titans have vicious area of effect skills, and the greater mission-related titans cause burning to anyone nearby.
5) If they use hero monks for the missions, they don't consider disabling certain forms of condition removal. Hero monks are partial to using it immediately to solve burning... which comes back as long as the target is next to a greater titan.
6) They don't bring adequate healing period.

A ranger or a mesmer can help to prevent certain skills (e.g. Maelstrom, Chain Lightning, Rodgort's Invocation) from destroying your party. I've found that a single, highly proficient ranger can help to expand your survival more than any other profession. It's also worth considering if you should bring three monks.

Cold vs titans = dead titans.

If you have about 5 hours to kill, go from Temple of Ages and walk to the Titans at Last Days Dawn.

If you have about 2-3 hours to kill, go from Yaks Bend to LDD.

If you have great skills and are brave enough, go from Frontier Gate.

Advantages:

ToA - 8 players
Yaks - 6 players; less travelling than from ToA
FG - quickest travel

It may not take you that long (5 hours or 3 hours or whatever) to do the quest, but make sure you put aside time to do it.

Protect the allied monk at LDD and the King.

Kill Sparks first
Kill Burning, then Ashen, then Fist/Hand. Don't go after more than 1 titan at a time

Hope this helps.
