this fight is nearly impossible PUG, most ppl have been carried to the fight and come with only their mid level job gear -_- and maybe one DL piece. The fight is dps focused so if they wipe due to weak gear before heart phase its clear the PUG is a fail, add that to the fact most ppl simply can't dodge worth anything. I find it funny when im playing and a DPS takes more damage than I do from not paying attention but then blames everyone else heals, tank, lag ect. for their mistakes.
I agree with the OP though terrible prog fight, if I wasn't in a decent FC id never be able to finish my relic.

To me, Titan only feels like a progression point towards the raid/relic. Most of my FC doesn't care to farm him, only to get the win and progress to the raids. Garuda is much easier to kill and the weapons are the same ilvl. So unless there are certain stats on a Titan weapon you must have, Garuda works just as well. Not saying Titan in particular is a harder fight, but it does have a bigger learning curve than Garuda does and it is more forgiving if someone dies in the Garuda battle.
