Titan Fight

**Spider-Dan** · 2013-11-19 17:24

I found it a lot easier to dodge bombs in phase 5 after I just started presuming that Titan WILL target me with the landslide every time. Then it's easy to plan for where I need to stand and where I need to run.

I'm so tired of bad healers for this fight. Every time I try to help random pugs I just ask if I can come SCH instead of DPS because I know for sure one of the healers won't know what the hell he's doing for half of the fight.

**Exoduso** · 2013-11-20 14:57

How are players STILL struggling with this fight, seriously...
Getting a pickup group going for Titan (that is, one that can actually kill it) seems to be impossible.
Guess I'll just ask my FC to run it before/after a coil session. Since none of us are online otherwise, there's literally nothing to do in this game right now.. -_-

Wish there was a way to cross-server matchmake; I'd offer to help since I like healing this fight with competent people.

I was bored again today and jumped into a DF titan to record it, this was the result

Not too shaby, I'm like 4/9 or something, the bad ones were really bad though...

**shidobu** · 2013-11-22 16:37

^ never thought about using shoulder tackle to move out of bombs.
thats actually okay....

**Sylvrdragon** · 2013-11-23 05:45

Dat ending.

Makes me wanna go WHM some Titans. I'm the only one in my FC that still actually enjoys that fight. Everyone is burnt out after running it for like 30 relics, lol.

I enjoy the fight when it doesn't fail over and over due to the same people dieing to avoidable damage. I can only carry so many people. D:

Haha yeah, when I saw the WotL below me I was like "O shit, I'm dead"

I enjoy the fight because things like that, doing it with my FC mates is fun and all, but it's boring because we've done it so many times already that usually nothing unexpected happens.

That's why you run as PLD or WAR and play "spin the titan during mt buster". Bonus points for nailing a pug you agreed to carry.

**dejet** · 2013-11-26 06:35

The reason this fight is hard is not because its hard or because 90% of the people can not do it. Its 10% of the population that blows; What makes it hard is that the 1 or 2 people who do not understand the fight total fuck it up. In FC's this is fine to have 2 gimps you will be doing it already with relics and DL so you can make up for the DPS.

In PUGs you have people in ilvl55~60 gear with a few Ilvl70(3~4 most of the time I have seen) and that is fine, if everyone understands the fight. You also can not recover if the healres suck at all. This is the main reason titan is so damn hard in pugs. Its needed for the relic quest and 50%+ do not have the gear to make up for the 1 to 2 shitty players who cant dodge. Its never everyone that can not dodge its always 1 or 2 people.

sounds about right

**kalcia** · 2013-11-28 06:31

I had this random group I was helping, first on BRD then on WHM (cause their WHM ran and they still needed a clear). Then the PLD said he had to go (my friend) and they got another tank, a WAR. Leader said "Ah, no PLD? drop plz" (or smth along those lines) and either kicked him or he left the pty. I told that to my PLD friend on TS and he told me to drop their pty and we started another pty, for that WAR. It took us some damn long time to gather all members, but when we finally got them all we won without any problems.
I'm very very sensitive with WAR subject. I have a soft spot for WARs in my heart, cause my husband's main is WAR. And absolutely hate how people say WAR can't do this/that. We clear damn 1-4 coil with WAR as 2nd tank. >.>

**dejet** · 2013-11-28 06:38

War just takes more focus because you don't have the random dodge from flashing and no cds to take a load off the healers for table flip. Outside that the fight is the same, and seeing as 90% of plds do not know the order because they stand still it's the same thing reallylol

**kalcia** · 2013-11-28 07:44

True, but I also think that WAR that knows what he's doing is better than PLD with bad rotation, dmg mitigation skillz aside xD

I really like Titan fight, I'm looking forward to the extreme version.
I did a couple of 4-5man (post heart) fights as solo heal (solo SCH without relic including xD), and I really wanna try solo heal whole fight.

**Niiro** · 2013-11-28 09:38

I don't see how PLD can have a bad rotation, they have 1 combo.

They either save CDs for busters or they don't, that's all the depth there is to PLD.

**kalcia** · 2013-11-28 10:05

Well, there has to be something wrong with some of them, cause they seem to loose hate so much, or get hit like a bag of potatoes. ;D

**Kiarax** · 2013-11-28 10:19

It's definitely a little easier for a PLD to lose hate early on to a healer, dumb WHM like to medica 2 on the first jump, but 99% of the time it's no fault of the PLD. Overall the difference between a decent WAR and PLD is very minor assuming appropriate gear (PLD can get away with a bit less ofc). When I run it on WAR my gf will solo heal on SCH and blind just about every MB, so Flash is kind of moot with a decent SCH or SMN.

**Quicklet** · 2013-11-28 23:50

WHM should be stoneskinning everyone at the start of the fight anyway. Then you only need 1 Medica I or 1 Succor to top people off after the first tumult of the fight.
