To bring down the titan, chaotic-aligned weapons are an absolute requirement. Without such damage reduction-breaching weapons, characters that rely on strength of arms are reduced to near total ineffectiveness thanks the marut's strong ties to law and justice. Since the marut is a construct, rogues should rely on items - healing or damaging - as their sneak attacks are wholly ineffective. When it comes to the spellcaster, there are two choices. The first is to unload damaging spells. This isn't a bad choice, but the critical element here is to maximize your damage output in as short a time as possible. Since the marut's components naturally repair themselves, you must deal as much as possible in a short a time as possible. The other choice, for a gambling spellcaster? The marut is an extraplanar creature, and the dismissal spell has a chance, if the spell can penetrate the marut's spell resistance and the marut fails to save against the effect, that a single spell that dispatch the foe. The chances of that happening? You'd have better odds, much better odds, with wired deuces against wired aces.
