You know the worst part of Titan HM?
That your gear means nothing if SE can't mitigate their server issues~
Full DL gear, i70weapon
6ft away from landslide -> red aggro line and being shoved off the edge
2ft from WoL -> flat on my ass after being "on the very edge"
Server position-checks once every 0.3 seconds, add in latency and that can be upwards of 0.7-1.0 seconds.
Titan HM wouldn't be hard IF it wasn't for the consistent lag spikes.

Gear isn't what can make Titan difficult. Upping IL requirement will solve nothing.

i90 PLD here, jumped in PF to help out Titan HM. All party was average i75, except one person who was probably i65. Barely could clear heart, and couldn't avoid bombs after so never finished it. Also went in the same group as i76 WHM and I was usually the last person standing before we decided to wipe, aside from the tank. And I usually had to DPS as WHM to kill the heart.
I'm on a PS3 as well.
It really is knowing the fight, when the pools come around and where to stand for bombs and when to not stand still for landslide or pools. I know some people try to let that last casting go through, but time and again, it's not worth it. Titan wants you to dance. Learn to skip to the tune and you'll be fine. -

Stop using DF for content that is too difficult for most players.

iLevel for Titan HM could be a tad higher although I agree, it is more a matter of knowing the rotation and beeing able to dodge. I would never try Titan HM through DF, never ever lol. What I wonder about is, there are so many people having trouble with the fight; why aren't there any training parties? All I see in Group finder are experienced groups (that sometimes turn out to be not that experienced lol). Same for the Extreme fights. Learning parties? Nope. All you see is EXP only or 1 fail = kick. I am lucky and can do such content with my FC but why don't others use the Group finder to find people in the same boat? You can ask the DEV's for a thousand things but sometimes it is up to you and nobody else to do something if you are facing a problem.

Titan really has nothing to do with gear, he has insane amounts of lag and mechanics that aren't dodgable with said lag. -

Glad I have less than 1/4 of a second lag while doing instances. My Dragoon win on Titan was with AK gear, HQ Champions Lance and a couple DL accessories. Everyone else was pretty well the same other than the Tank who had full DL and a Garuda weapon.
But that was before gear restrictions. -
03-05-2014, 03:23 AMAlrikRougeAgreed. That's my point. It is not the iLevel but the skill level.Quote:
