Healing Titan EM
Hello awesome healers, I was wondering if you guys have any tips on healing Titan EM as a WHM?
I do not have Zenith yet, 4 ilvl 80 pieces, the hero's ring and the rest is darklight. Also I do not main WHM, my main is BRD and so using myth on WHM right now isn't a priority since my FC just wants me to heal outside coil and only sometimes depending on who the other DPS are.
I have also tried healing it, we got to the heart phase before people started to eat landslides and plumes (including me won't deny that I ate some plumes that day).
-
if people eat landslide, not much to do...
as WHM i like medica 2 during stomps and transitions
regen at all time on tank
and that's it.... not a hard fight to heal if other people don't mess up

As a whm, the best thing you can do is get your raid stacking correctly for stomps and plumes. Cure III is unbeatable once people get the positioning down to use it to it's fullest. The adds phase after heart is the hardest part of the trial, master the movement and spot healing required to get through that smoothly and you are pretty much set.
-
Another important thing is to keep healing while dodging post heart phase. Too many times I wiped because I was the only one healing tanks as SCH post heart.

The advice here is not set in stone.
For the double gaol where one healer gets gaol'd, if you see you are the target, cast a Regen on the tank before getting stoned.
Sprint helps when dodging Weight of the Land, Landslide and sometimes even bombs that go off next to each other (don't experiment with the timing of that last one unless the group is a wipe). The Sprint will often let you get one more full Cure on the tank.
If you use Medica II and all party members survive the Tumults, let the regen effect of Medica II play out, especially if the tank(s) need healing. You'll be placing onus on the players for their own survival since they probably can't take another stray hit until the regen effect completes. Fight the temptation to top the players off unless Titan is about to jump, Earthen Fury or post heart egis doing their "welcome Tumult".
During Tumults, a Cure III on stacked party members can help greatly. One Cure III and the Medica II should be more than sufficient in healer duo scenarios.
Shroud of Saints for enmity the first time (just after Titan lands from first jump). Then for MP everytime after (around Heart phase start).

Here's my routine:
As a WHM,
After sumo, he will follow with a landslide. Dodge it, and if you're not gaoled do a Medica II + Virus after dodging the landslide. Usually I make a promise whoever doesn't get gaoled do this.
For tumults pre-heart, Cure III when his feet is lifted the 3rd time, then Cure I or Cure II to the tank, then dodge plumes. This tumult should most likely be virused and soiled if an SCH is present.
For Geocrush, I use Divine Seal + Cure III.
As soon as Heart phase begins, he will start with a Weight of the Land. Pop Cleric stance, put Aero II, Aero and 2 Stone IIs in, then gaol will happen. Turn off cleric stance, then prepare yourself for the sumo thing again. Can also Cleric again after the tumult if the other healer's just healing, cause it'll be quite a stagnant period until he calls bombs.
After heart is destroyed, I follow up with divine seal + medica 2 + regen on both tanks followed with a medica I if people aren't full (preferably on both WHMs), and a stoneskin on the potato tank so the tanks have some heals to keep them up during the potatoes phase. You can then wait for the tank to pick up aggro, use Shroud of Saints, and stop healing until hate is stable cause the tanks have medica and regen.
For tumults post heart, the order slightly changes. After sumo->landslide, Medica II as usual if you're not gaoled, but instead of doing it directly give it 2 punches, then virus/soil. You'll probably debuff both Buster and Tumult this way. Then wait for tumult's 3rd stomp foot goes up in the air, and Cure III for party + Cure I/II on tank as usual before dodging double plumes.
Next is superbombs,
I usually just Cure III for tumult after 3rd stomp as usual, then follow up with Divine Seal+CureIII for Geocrush. After that, I promptly Medica II before potatoes spawn (preferably with divine seal still on) and Regen both tanks and stoneskin potato tank just like first phase, then repeat.

Learn Titan's rotation
Maximize Cure III when you can
Devine Seal Medica II is nice on stomps (I throw medica I to top up for the rest)
Always be vigilant of the MT's HP especially after the heart phase (tons of movement and a few Mountain Buster's are happening while your dodging)
but honestly it really comes to to memorizing Titan's rotations and seeing where you can throw in heals as you dodge. The more comfy you are with the fight the easier it becomes (Virus when you can if the SCH/SMN isn't doing it) and try to keep eye for an eye up on MT
The rest is your style

Thank you all for the responses, I'll try to learn his rotation now, gonna be hard never had to on my bard where I just dodged stuff as it came on me.

Cure 3 on jumps. Med 2 and med on tumults. Always sprint to pull off more heals. Try not to have regens up when egos pop. Blow cool downs on ego phase if solo healing.
-
I usually have medica 2 up when egi's spawn because they use tumult and making sure everyone is topped up for bombs
so as a favor to the OT I plant myself where he brings the egi's usually and throw regen (sometimes throw a cure on myself). After the 1st set of bombs explode OT usually has hate and I am back on my regular healing routine
