when they fall stand on an outside bomb then when landslide targets move into safe spot.

I know, that's the smart way to do it, however there are ALWAYS people standing in the safe spot from the start, hence the question !

I never really had an issue with the X formation. The safe spots are large enough for you to safely avoid landslide without leaving them.

When you stand on a bomb there are two ways to run so what's the issue

no issue, I misunderstood the post thanks for the tip.

Just know that once that blue line is gone on landslide you can move back there, I'm often having to get hella close to a bomb then right back to where landslide was to not get sploded. Just be careful, I got too cocky last night and got sent over the edge. you do actually have to wait for the lines to go lol

Assuming the tank is positioned right to not get hit by X bombs himself, you can stand directly behind Titan until he readies slide then run thru him and stand with the tank, when he slams down and the bombs go off there's time to run back behind him to not get hit by buster.

Nice if you're a melee because you don't have to stop DDing.

Hey guys, I've cleared Titan quite a few times and know the fight. However, I noticed lately that one of the "bad" bomb formation on P5 is actually the cross bombs : people usually are silly enough to stay in the safe place right away, the landslide comes this way, they move and one of two things happen : they either fear of getting hit by a bomb, panic and go back too soon to safe place and are slided away OR they hit a bomb in the face (which doesn't kill you but you look stupid ), some actually hit two bombs in the face going forward or whatever.

Assuming people stay silly (still stack in the safe place) on the cross bomb formation, anyone has a neat trick to avoid landslide AND bomb? (one that does not require too much skill or perfect timing, i.e. for PUGs lol)

Sounds like you need to panic less. You can move to the safe spot > wait for landslide > move from landslide > move back after the ground indicator dissipates (The move doesn't hit even if you're there for the animation).

IF your group is really dumb about it and you want maximum security, back left or right bomb (bottom of the X, if Titan is at the top) is best since if someone on your left/right side is a dumbass you have the back option for safety. that's just for personal safety though.

Mark your best dodger and ask everyone to follow that person.

Probably not the best of ideas tbh. You have 0.3s for server to update your position. Another 0.3s for the server to tell other clients where you are. Add another 0.3s for other people to react to you and another 0.3 for server to pickup their movement... not counting regular lag. It would be easier for people to just not suck.

It's not really about panic, your way works if you don't lag at all. There's not that much time to move back to safe spot. Sometimes you move too fast, sometimes too slow, either way you're fucked. I like Seravi's "failsafe" way actually. Bottom bombs, move one way or the other.

And you know that shit's a recipe for dumbasses stacking the entire fight and eating 4 plumes at once.

[Eanae]

Following the leader is a terrible idea for sure. Ally positions update much slower than everything else in the game by a decent margin. Stacking for tammaults and plumes is really the best way to handle things though assuming your group isn't shit at the game. People still blaming lag for dying to Titan either need a new connection or to be replaced because they're bad.

I'm always against stacking for this reason. Any little slip up and you're eating 4 plumes to the face hole.

[Qeomash]

Follow the leader works as a training mechanism. "Watch what this person does, and do it too next round. If you're not doing what they're doing, you're doing it wrong."

Part of the reason I'm leveling scholar is so I can oops as well

[Detzu]

I have a weird lag problem : no lag at all on ifrit, huge lag on garuda everytime the tornadoes spawn but the fight is easy enough to deal with it, and lag on titan which results in being hit often while i'm out of AoE. Well sometimes I can be lucky and I even manage to get a win even if I died during p5.
But what I want to know is whether or not this fight is a pc config check or is latency the real issue.
I have intel core i3 and GT405 graphic card. What's'your config looking like?
