Titan Fight

[popsiclestix]

Finally beat titan today. Wahoo. Found out a tidbit AFTER beating it though, use Legacy camera. It is so much easier to move around than Standard. It is under the Character Configuration.

This is something people should be told from lv1. So much superior.

if i'm doing a pug or df for whatever reason anytime i see someone back pedaling slow as fuck I make them change immediately.

Y'all are nuts. Legacy controls, not even once. Standard, right-click hold and strafe. Basic WoW controls.

I thought this fight was easy as a tank, but its even easier as a healer. Seriously, latency issues aside, I don't see how people get hit by plumes/bombs/landslide after their first couple attempts. Just move, it's that simple.

but its even easier as a healer.

That's just stupid.

The problem more is that Gaol is hard to get off a smn with just dot, egis, and Fester. That cuts down heart time quite a lot and even with enkindle, you are going to run out of time.

Curious, did you guys Bane the dots onto the Gaol or cast them fresh as soon as it spawned?

[Nyanoko]

That's just stupid.

Tell it to my relic. The fight is cake.

Just thought I'd share a fun story which can act as a gentle reminder to Summoners and Black Mages.

The attempt before my win with a pug was going to be a surefire victory. Everyone could dodge, there was no need for wasting LB on the heart, healers be pre-healing tumults and tableflips, and we were comfortably under 10% HP remaining for the kill. Party leader says, "okay use limit".

We hear the Limit "kacchiinggg" and continue as usual for a few seconds. Unfortunately, a giant fucking meteor crashes into the arena and blinds everyone. Cue the plumes.

In seconds, most of the party is dead, including the other healer, I get jailed (as SCH), and then the tank drops on the next rock buster. All for that for knicking off 1% of Titan.

The BLM was immediately kicked from the party and the leader shouted something along the lines of "Titan 7/8 looking for BLM that DOESN'T FUCKING BLIND EVERYONE WITH METEOR IN THE LAST PHASE"

After the Rock then landslide set you have enough time to cast Caster LB and not blind everyone before plumes.

Hilarious @ BLM meteor. This fight is cake as a WHM I must say. Hoping to get Stardust Rod and Omnilex in the coming days. Looking forward to doing it with SCH.

Also team standard controls, strafing is superior in every way. Just need my FC to catch up so we can start Coil. In the meantime I've been trying to help Excalibur pugs get their shit together, no one needs to spend money on this. Currently 700k on my server.

@ BLM Meteor story:

I have everyone else's effects off because I actually like to see things in FATEs, dungeons, etc. I would have been fine in that situation!

Seriously though, spell effects are way too overwhelming in this game, I have to have other people's off lol. Really wish it worked on Shadow Flare though as well, tired of seeing that crap everywhere in FATEs.

[Seravi Edalborez]

I can rightclick "strafe" on legacy too so I don't see why that's an advantage for standard.

I know! Which is sad, we could have also pulled it off if the BLM waited until the Gaol turn - the only major "threat" is Landslide, and AoE LB would have liberated whomever was rocked (in this case me). But it seemed obvious that the melee DPS were waiting to do exactly this. BLM must have popped it just after avoiding bombs and during tableflip.

Oh well. Also, if anyone thinks this fight is easy as a healer, SE should just hand you an Artemis Bow the instant you get into a competent group.

[XalienLevi]

I have no plans to level Bard at this time. I just love healing.

I'm certain that with some adjustments a well geared healer can solo heal this fight.

[Carth]

Tell it to my relic. The fight is cake.

At least healers have to do some work. The tanks literally just stands at the edge for 50% of the fight, then they have to move 3 inches to the side to avoid a bomb every once in awhile.

I was helping a pug earlier. Last phase. Nearly everyone dead, someone's already trapped but me and tank. I tell him, we're going to survive until I can pop LB3. He says ok. Then eats two bombs.

I do this fight for the storytelling alone.

BLM/SMN Meteor LB: The best way to sabotage your Titan group unintentionally.

This is why I have spell effects minus my own disabled.

[Psion]

As far as smn and titan goes, gaol and any other entrapments entirely stop summon damage. (they sorta just stand there looking awkward until you bust out of your trap.)

However, there are many ways to deal with gaols and summoner. You can ask people who get targeted by titan for a gaol to run next to titan, close enough for bane to spread to their tomb. You can have people with gaols run to shadowflares to get busted out quickly. You can also save some aetherflow charges and when someone gets gaoled, alternate ruin II and siphon for fairly quick burst damage plus mp/hp restore.

[Siya]

Really really really hate this fight. Dodge everything and survive til the very end but healers keep dying which causes tanks to die. Last pug I did the healers wouldn't remove det down (also died every attempt). Just very frustrating that 2 (usually more) members are holding me back from this.
