It was easier, all they had to do was paint spectral blade green.

I would've been so much happier having this than a BoW. Sure it was too good, but everyone else including Bungie doesn't want Titans to be better than Hunters and Warlocks at melee damage for some reason, even though that's what Bungie made Titans for apparently . So I'd take the Tanky/Not so big on damage Heavy class over it any day
