Does massive weapons allow a titan mauler to user a two handed weapon of a size category larger than himself?

There is nothing in the Massive Weapons ability that allows a Titan Mauler Barbarian to ignore the "ease of use" or handedness limitations when using a larger weapon.

So, no, RAW.

+1 on this, but word is this wasn't how it was supposed to work RAI.

That doesn't make since though, Why would you get massive weapons for a total of +6? By that logic the most you would need is +4.

See the errata here.

[KaiserC]

that errata is for jotengrip, not massive weapons. They are different features of the class.

Massive Weapons does not change the handedness of weapons.

So, you could wield a Huge Dagger, but not a Huge Longsword.

The second sentence of the FAQ states: "The massive weapon class feature allows her to use oversized weapons with decreased penalty, but does not allow her to use two-handed weapons of that size in one hand."

Yes it its true that by RAW it does not work, but not only is that the obvious RAI, the guy who wrote it posted on the boards about it. I can't link the post right now (on my phone) but you should be able to find it. Also I feel any sane GM should be able to see the RAI and as long as you're not playing PFS should allow it. Now if your GM is a stickler for RAW or it is PFS you have to go with that but then you should not use the archetype as IIRC the biggest weapon you could use would deal 2d6 damage. Same as a great sword.
