WAR rotation for Titan HM phase 5

Hi,

Just wanted to share some tips regarding the Titan HM fight and get people to share their own tips.
With Table Flip coming every 30s, here's the Self heal rotation I came up with to always heal 1.5-2.5K for each one of them.

Action Required :
- Infuriate (CD 60s)
- IB (CD 25s, time to build wrath)
- Thrill of Battle (CD 180s)
- Second Wind (CD 120s)
- Hi-Elixir or X-potion (CD 120s)
- Berserk (CD 90s)

0:00 - Table flip 1: Inner Beast + Infuriate (you'll be topped at the beginning of the phase so you can easily take the hit. Just get the heal buff up right away)

0:30 - Table flip 2: Thrill of Battle + Inner Beast

1:00 - Table flip 3: (infuriate is back up) Inner Beast + Infuriate + Inner beast

1:30 - Table flip 4: Berserk + Inner Beast + Second Wind

2:00 - Table flip 5: (infuriate is back up) Inner Beast + Infuriate + Inner beast

2:30 - Table flip 6: Bloodbath + Inner Beast + Hi-Elixir/X-Potion

Rinse and repeat table flip 2-6 pattern.

Should pop Conv. after Flip 4 if you're going to blow all your stacks, then have your vengeance saved so you can HS -> Vengeance -> SS -> BB and quickly get back 5 stacks. Same case for any time when Infuriate isn't up and you're taking too much damage. Don't feel like Elix/Potion is needed but I guess if you want to make your healers life slightly easier then yeah go for it. Unfortunately there's a lot of situations where you won't be topped up completely before Table Flip and that'll cause a lot of... problems with Inner Beast usage, or at least holding onto your Wrath stacks. Other than that, this is basically what you do for phase 5. Worked for me, minus the potion, when only one of my healers was alive for phase 5 lol

That's my problem with this fight... my healer don't consistently topped me before Table so if hard to figure out if I should heal before or after the hit...
X-Potion is kinda optional but it's just there to cover a gap in the rotation were you only have IB available.

Ask your healers to rotate virus before mountain buster and tumults. It will mitigate a lot of damage. WHM can use it too.

As can BLM and Summoner...

it also helps if bards or monks silence after the third tumult about half-way through phase five.

This might blow your mind, but don't blow CDs unless you actually need them. You can judge this based on your Health Points before Titan MB's; if you're full, using your CDs is pointless. With titan use CDs if your healers need to catch up, or if you're in trouble and your healers need the extra help getting your HP up to full before MB (probably because the DPS are straight retarded and can't dodge weights/bombs).

This includes IB as well. There is no point in using it and dropping 15% healing for a 800-1700 heal (uncrit), and making your healer's life harder. IBs are best used when either Infuriate is up, or you can afford to use Convalescence while rebuilding wrath stacks; or if you're just in an emergency and absolutely need to blow it.

The point is, don't use CDs you don't need to.

I'm assuming you're properly geared for the fight.

don't forget to stack vengeance with blood bath for added heals. And for table flip 4 I would add a def cd for when berserk runs out.

If this is the way you want to go about it, watch your healers' mana pools too. Titan is almost exclusively a healer fight and if you're not doing anything at all to help them then you're just making the fight harder. Not popping cooldowns just because you're at full before Table Flip doesn't exactly mean you're fine for the rest of the phase if your healers are anywhere close to oom.

Finally, cleared the fight and got my relic.
My conclusion, I'm rolling PLD...

It's just too hard to find healers that can heal a War MT... Really... At least, I know I don't have that in my FC. Seeing that as a War, I took 4.6K (I'm in Full DL + AF+1 chest) on MB whereas a PLD would take 2.5K make me want to cry. I've been in PT where healers can top me before the hit but most can't and with a WAR, it's a guaranteed wipe...

So until 2.1 comes out, I'll roll PLD to provide the support my FC deserves... Hopefully, SE will give me a reason to go back to WAR as it is still my preferred class.
