Best of: Titan's pugs

Ok guys, i have been running titan's pugs (hard mode) for a couple of dozens of hours now, and i got to see some pretty amazing stuff, things i would not have believed to be possible before. I bet you have your share of stories to tell, so let use this thread to record the cream of the crop.

My top 3 would be:

-The guy that ran from bombs past me, the tank, who was standing on the very edge of the arena. Cartoon style. No landslide involved, just regular jump off the cliff.

-The guy that ate 3 landslide in a single fight. not successive fights, mind you. He survived the two first by having ltos of room behind him. Third one killed him.

-The three healers that left me (tank), on the second mountain buster, at 800 hp. Popped rampart well ahead of time, waiting for some heal. None coming, i popped sentinel. Nothing still, and i died a gruesome death. All three healers were alive and with plentiful mp.

You're a lalafell they probably didn't see you.

I had an interesting experience just now. Out in Thanalan, mining away i get a Pm - not an FC message or linkshell broadcast, a direct to me, private message, asking if I wanted to go heal titan... well damn straight I do! - This'd be my second Titan run and I want to get the fight down, particularly phase 5. Half a dozen wipes later, the leader (who invited me) in raging away:

Leader: "omg, don't you know phase 5"
Me: "I've watched and read the guides, sure - first time hands on"
Lackey: "Great, so you're just here to be carried, fucking casuals"
Leader: "Why do people sign up when they've never been to phase 5"
Lackey: "Didn't you see the sign in the shout saying exp players only, fuck off"
Me: "Wait, what? - I was invited directly, I didn't answer any shouts"
<Lackey has left the trial>
Me: "Wait, what? - I was invited directly, I didn't answer any shouts"
<The person you are trying to contact has blacklisted you>

I'm sure there's a lesson in here somewhere... but I'm not sure it's me who's in need of learning it.


tl;dr: Got a blind invite to a party, then kicked out and blisted because they didn't check if i met their own requirements.

I just got my kill after about 30 attempts. Sad to say that I don't have any real stories of foolishness, but I'll tell you this: There very almost nothing like the feel of earning that kill for the first time.

Titan pug where there's a naked summoner, using his pet to attack titan as soon as everyone finished watching intro.

Everyone died

I know the feel :) !

I am soooooo tired of trying to kill titan already, still no go. Yet the other day we ran a titan with myself and a pug blm. Since when would you use Thunder 1 with physix on yourself and think you could get a win? Those were the only things I saw cast in a 2 minute periodby the other blm. ugh, I really hate titan.

My first kill was with FC, but we had 2 pug Dps, a Bard that was constantly dead, ate every landslide and one of our FC healers was having bad latency and swallowed just about every plume the poor sod. Me, i was tanking, which tbh is fairly trivial, just watch what Titan does, and pop a Cd when Mountain buster is due, i do recal getting a little scared watching my health dip pretty low frequently, bearing in mind im a PLD, getting 2k hits from Mountain Buster then Tumolds smacking into me straight after certainly made sweat, resisting the urge to yell on mumble "Nico! Heal me you lazy Mofo!" and the raid leader, whom is a very good RL friend of mine, trying and failing to reassure me and telling me to calm down, whilst getting some colourful and inventive expletives thrown back at him.

what was this thread about ... oh yeah, Suicidal pug members, had a few of those, was amusing at first, but became old pretty quickly.

First time using a controller. I absent-mindedly put Replling Shot on my A button, but second set. First set has Heavy Shot on A. Accidentally hit RB, and ended up backflipping off the edge of the ring :p

My favorite is when a tank accidentally backs off the cliff while trying to find the 'sweet spot' to avoid all bombs in phase 5. I've seen many tanks that do this. It's hilarious every time.
