Titan Fight

[Day]

I was going to post a big write up about how to WHM on Titan and not fail, but I figured it was mostly common sense stuff. If you're still having problems, PM and I'll send you the really long, pedantic response I was going to post.

You can send to me homie. I'm leveling WHM and will need this info in a week or two.

You really should do a write up. Next to loldps getting hit, healing is the biggest problem for titan.

[Elcura]

I agree, write it up and post it.

For sure man, I say it all the time Titan is a dodging and healer's fight. Most random DF can get the heart down if they build lb, DPS is rarely but sometimes the issue no doubt.

I'm just running through AK with my whm now, so I'm going to need this as well.

Spoiler: show

Pretty much. All this talk of tanks dodging bombs is stupid when the tank can do literally nothing and be just as fine as a tank dodging. I don't even pop cool downs anymore. 123123123 all day every day.

I would argue that if the dps need to build lb to get past heart, that's a huge red flag. Having healed roughly 20 different DF and a few shout groups in the past day, almost none of them can get past heart phase without someone eating some avoidable move and either dying or putting extra strain on the healers. If someone gets hit at the wrong time I will end up not having enough GCDs to keep someone from dying unless I use an "oh shit" Benediction that I might be able to use once or twice the whole fight. The problem just compounds itself post-heart where you just don't have the GCDs available to spot heal someone if you have to worry about preparing the tank for Mountain Buster or getting on top of Tumults.

Heart phase with 4dps, 3x healer and don't have the healers dps is usually rough with mediocre dps. My AK geared brd had trouble with it. Switch to blm with relic +1 and full DL/blahblahblah and the heart is down before the 2nd landslide hits.

Dps play a decent role, but you can usually get around it one way or another. Healers... yea you need good healers or you're screwed.

Well I agree outside of DF, but DF always gives 2 tanks so I'd rather build to first jump and be safe. Otherwise I agree with all the rest. Fools need to dodge.

All but one healer should be able to dps for the majority of heart phase as long as dps don't get hit by plumes or get cleaved (yes, I've had dps in DF standing in front of titan during heart phase). Basically healers can help dps up until the first gaol's broken, aoe heal for stomps, and then go back to dpsing the heart until it's broken. One WHM should be able to keep the tank up no problem during the heart phase. I try to do this in my pug groups but someone almost always gets hit by plumes during the heart phase.

Write it up please and stick it somewhere public - a lot of people will want this, me included

[Niiro]

Is he stomping?
Yes -> Medica/Medica II
No -> Cure the tank

Advanced mode:
Hit the tank with SS before buster.

We killed him last night with 7/8 of the people being from the FC. So happy! Got like 4 people their relics. Gave the whm a hard time since he got hit a bunch and we almost wiped at the end with me and war being the last to dps titan for about 3%.

Then he keeps going off on how my whm is shit. XD (It's how we do.)

I am probably still going to pm you though as I have been debating like crazy as to what relic to do next. People say I should do whm, but curing that fight scares the crap out of me. I think my husband finally fixed my computer issues though so shouldn't lag/crash as much as I used to.

Here's the DPS version:
Are you dead?
Yes > you suck
No > don't die

Advanced mode:
Deal more damage than the other guys.

[Niiro]

Pretty much.

[BerenTebogo]

Tank follows similarly:

Are you dead?
No > keep watching TV
Yes > yell at your healers for being bad

Advanced mode:

Keep watching porn and finish before heart phase ends.

[Niiro]

Hell mode: finishing simultaneously with Earthen Fury.

[Ratatapa]

Most tank forget that you can flash before Mountain Buster and that can make it miss

[TacoTaru]

I've received a couple PMs and there's enough posts asking for it that I'll go write it up now and post when it's ready. If you want the tl;dr, don't have to worry about randoms/carries version, Niiro has provided it above.

Way too much effort for something that already doesn't require paying attention.
