Don't put iLv90 Requirement to the Fight, if you expect a win.

This only says people have the gear. Set the iLevel lower, but watch your group, detect the person who keeps 'messing up' and tell him to try another time.
(Dont tell them in a rude way, but if you are building a clear group, tell them you expect the knowledge of the fight).

After my first clear as mnk I startet doing Titan Extreme with my sch but far less iLv and since then i always got my weekly clear as sch (First clear als scholar was with iLv72, i also helped out but i refuse if people set insane iLv requirements).

Hi. I'm a noob, and similar to you. I have the same problem...

Only that... In my case I just decided to not get annoyed and ignore Titan EX for now, coward option. In my server everyone is super new so not many people organizing party finders for it... IT... HAS... TO... Be in DF...

So far even took me one night and the next day for Garuda EX...

Right now I'm rather leveling up any other classes and gearing them all, it's like a funny hobby... =3

Maybe someday... I'll do it this way. "Okay, now a run try with the WAR... Failed... Next one with the DRG... Failed... Next one with the MNK... Okay, Next one with the WHM..." and so on.

Yeah sad part is, I'm in one of the largest most successful FC's on my server. That's also the problem... they're so successful that they've forgotten all about titan and have moved on to new coil and Levi Ex farm. I'm probably going to leave soon and try another FC; and if that doesn't work I've had my eyes on Gilgamesh for a while lol(wanna join an RP community).

As I said, I have around 15h/week and I want to do book grind, roulette, help FC etc... so this is the time I have

People are still doing EX primals? Why?

If you wanna beat Titan ex, make a group and kick anyone who dies before the heart phase.
Nobody should be dying before the heart phase and if they are, you will not clear it. This should clear out all the bads and let you finally clear this fight.

Took me 15 tries before I cleared it with my FC. I never cleared it with a pug.

Snobbish question. Some do them for the chance at the various mounts. Some want to get through Garuda, Titan, and Ifrit to farm Leviathan for his weapon as not everyone is capable of clearing the second Coil or feel like grinding out animus weapons. Others simply haven't made it to the primal battles.

Not everyone has done them yet?

Because some haven't beaten them yet?

I gave up, I can run to the other side of the arena and WoTL still hits me. I'll just wait for a nerf, or to the point my iLvl is so high it won't be a problem anymore.

If you want to clear Titan Ex and you are already far past the learning stage, then you need to get 7 other patient people that have cleared or at least know the entire fight to clear it with you. I cleared it months ago, but recently had a linkshell friend looking to clear for the first time and a bunch of us got together in a party and kept going until it was cleared. I helped other friends I've played with too, help get a friend of theirs through titan ex. The friend has practiced enough to clear the fight, just needs other patient people to stick it out, until everything goes as planned and it gets cleared.

Most of the time with party finders, you'll have several attempts, and then someone will leave and then the entire party disbands.
