Tried a DF Titan in an act of desperation and had a BRD that was not only new and no DL, but was using an unfinished Relic Bow for the fight.
Don't you have to give that back after the Hydra fight?
That's impressive in its awfulness.
Technically he could've been Legacy. I still have my unfinished Stardust Rod since the game gave it to me when accepting the quest that I had started in 1.0. I was also on the Titan step when I accepted it, so I've had an unfinished rod and a +1 for a bit now. It's funny to switch between them and see people's reactions.
Not excusing any form of his stupidity, just saying that it's possible he was on The Navel for his Relic if your definition of "new" is "new to the fight."
Considering the stomps were in the Normal Titan fight, I'ma say he's new to the game and trying out his newly-purchased character.
Considering the lack of overall difficulty in the story fights I don't see why it's unbelievable he cheesed way through the main scenario. Let's be honest, every encounter has room for at least 1-2 full retards before Coil and even then you can carry idiots.
Its more about someone standing still on the first jump. That's the single thing you should remember about the Normal Titan fight, because its literally the only thing that can kill you aside from Astral Flow or Landslide.
I don't want to defend the guy, but I didn't remember a damn thing about the story titan fight by the time I got to Titan (Hard).
The only thing I remembered about the storyline Titan fight was doing it easily with 3 people after one of the DDs got knocked off on the first Slide.
I don't even remember what skills he did/didn't have (aside from Landslide obv).
Found this WHM in Mor Dhona

spell speed ftw
HA HA GET IT
IT'S SERAVI
The real fail is that I'm elezen.
Fuck my life. I hate Duty Finder.
Funny thing, when I was doing DF Garuda on my alt I had a WAR with gear about that so-so (better weapon though) who forgot Defiance for the whole first half of the last attempt and we still won.
Random self fail. So I haven't played an MMO in like, 5 years. I think Rift was the last one I played. I started XIV not too long ago and I just got my CNJ to 30.
In the back of my head I can still hear the old XI LEVEL YOUR SJ mentality, so I'm grinding fates solo on my THM in Brentbranch to get swiftcast while studying. There aren't many people doing fates but enough to get them down in enough time that it's worth it. I see one spawn far north of me and rush there, when I get there it's just me and a cute little lala WAR. She invites me to party and I accept, see there's two other people in it as well. I'm all excited because I haven't made many friends on my server and from what I've seen these guys were decent.
At this point I should mention it's almost finals week and I'm both sleep deprived and stupid excited to have human interaction outside the DF. I see the WAR is low on HP so I throw a psychic...JUST as she's pulling. Have all the mobs on me and for some reason I think it's really cool to go ahead and hit an AoE instead of just running out of the fate range. Die, HP and realize I'm in Limsa. Fail, Fail, Fail. Triple Threat! Say "I'm Terribly Sorry!!" and log out. When I logged back on I was so ashamed I just crafted for the rest of the night. Making frenz is hard when you faiiiillll
