So after tanking, dpsing, and now healing titan... that fight blows as healer. I feel like any time someone gets hit by plume or bomb pre tumult they're pretty much dead. Then they bitch how they didn't get a heal after they got hit. I admit I suck at healing, but anyone else healing this basically have the same problem? Seems like x2 regen on the tank keeps him mostly topped off majority of the fight. Apply stoneskin pre MB and he's fine.
I find healing as SCH to be pretty easy (in that, if it gets "hard" we're probably fucked because of people who can't dodge), but I haven't really tried it as anything else so.
At this point, people getting hit by plumes or bombs are either new to the fight or just bad. That being said, you should have more than enough time to top them before Tumult (assuming they didn't get 1 shot) comes out as Plumes/Bombs is such a long ways away from it in Titan's rotation. It's something like Bombs -> Mountain Buster -> Weights -> Gaol -> Landslide -> Mountain Buster before he Tumults.
Sorry if this has been asked a ton, but what type of gear should a whm have for this fight?
My gear at the moment is
Ifrit weapon
AF head and hands
AK body and feet
DL legs and all accessories(AK ring for second ring slot)
As a SCH I had Ifrit book, AF head/hands, Strategos most other slots, Turquoise accessories and got through it fine for relic clear. May want to consider upping the AF to DL cowl/hands maybe.
Accessories offer less improvement than gear, most importantly they don't offer VIT like gear does (aside from the tank stuff obv).
Well, I got those 3 AK pieces on my first run and since going from strategos to DL is a smaller upgrade than going from AF, I went with accessories. That and I'll admit that the cheaper prices were attractive.
Anyway, my weekly mythology cap starts over tonight, so with 5 more AK runs I can get AF2 head(giving me more vit and mind with AK body than DL robe alone) and DL hands
How much HP should a PLD have before doing Titan? I've already tried on DF with 4500~ HP but we never got past heart so I don't know whether or not I can survive Mountain Busters. I currently have 4 pieces of DL including the Helm/Body.
If you're smart with your cooldowns you should be fine vs Mountain Busters. Without any cooldowns I usually took on the ballpark of 3.3k damage or so. I went in the fight with full DL and I was a 20VIT/10STR PLD, and I was eating food, so I had roughly 5400 HP.
If your gear is bad enough to have 4500HP then you're also pretty likely to get one shotted.
Yeah Id say shoot for about 5.4-5.5k as pld for titan
Yea tanks should be 5.5k HP and 7k for WARs. Everyone should have atleast 3300 hp or u wont survive stomps period. Dont bother going into Titan with less than that. You will die to his unavoidiable AOE.
Respec into VIT if need be for the meantime til u can get better gear to cover the HP.
