Titan HM assistance

Hello all,
I love this game. I've been having a blast playing since launch even with all the issues. However, I have hit the wall that is Titan HM. Lag, latency, undergeared, incompetence in class, I just don't care what the reasons are anymore...I cannot find a group that can dodge/heal people with bad gear/heal awful dodgers. Hell, I have yet to find a group who can even get to the heart phase.

I really want to learn this fight and beat it, but I can't get experience for the hardest part of the fight because, like I said, I've yet to find a group to get to heart phase, which I'm told is the start of the hardest part of the fight. I am almost always the last man standing, and am sick of this fight. I am a full Darklight Dragoon with Ifrit's Harpoon and want to progress. I never thought I would, but I am contemplating buying a win.

If there are any kind souls willing to help, or are offering a win, please let me know. The game is starting to feel like a chore at this point.

You can send me a friend request, Cyan Dvai.
I'll help tank it, and I have a few FC mates that are at or nearing Titan as well.
I can't promise a one shot win, but there's enough of us that know the fight well enough to get it completed.

You can also look for Aoshi Rasetsu or Vega Corvi from our FC. I wont be online until either late tonight or Sat afternoon though, but we're always willing to help people, feel free to ask anyone from Kyodai.

hey Shadow, I completely understand your stress on this... I was there too once, but titan is super easy now.. I have a group that can pretty much give you that win you're looking for even if you're down...even if 3 are down...

as you know or heard, the fight doesn't really start until after heart... send me a tell or mail in game and I'll see if I can get a pty going for you...

Thanks for the kindness, guys. I will definitely look you all up.

I'm more than happy to help people beat this fight -- especially if it is for their first win! Feel free to message me when I am online. My name is Ryuko Kanzeon. I can play DPS or Heals.

Here is a little 'cheat sheet' with all of Titan Hardmode's ability rotations. The fight is super easy if you know what is coming... especially plumes! If you can't memorize the last phase, try bringing it up on a another monitor (if you have one), printing it out, or writing it out. There is always a few seconds of delay between abilities so you will have time to take a quick look as a little 'reminder'. Alternatively, I am more than happy to get on someone's voicechat to announce which abilities are next... This seems to help a lot of groups who aren't used to the fight yet.

if everyone is on tonight, we got 4/8 right here ^^ I can PLD/BRD or WHM/SCH

and I'm sure we can get the rest and take him down tonight ....

I have a few FC members who would be happy to help. We like helping people beat this fight. We sometimes joke about joining DF as 7/8 and running a random through... Just the way people react when they get their first win is so sweet. "OMG GUYS OMDFLSJDFLJFLEJ WRE OWNNNNOMGGGGG" It's great. Warms my heart. :D

I'm not sure exactly when my Coil Static is going tonight, but I do tend to stay online for most of the night.

That rotation chart is great! And you have no idea how much it warms my heart to see responses such as yours. I too love helping whenever I can. I'm always "that guy" explaining the dungeons to first-timers and their appreciation is almost palpable. I will be on later tonight and will message all of you. Again, thank you so much for your willingness to help. Endgame is filled with so much negativity that the kind people can get lost in the shuffle.

Okay, I'm logging in now. I'll try some tells and friend requests. Thanks again, all.

I just logged in and added you on my friend list. I see you are bound by duty... maybe getting your Titan kill? :P

Guys,

Thanks to all of you. Between those of you who friended me and gave advice, to those who let me tag along, gain invaluable experience and actually carried my loldrg ass for the win, I can't accurately put into words how grateful I am.

Huge props to O'nali Nevik for not giving up on my so tired I was drunk self, and the people he brought along with him. His determination is second only to his playing ability and I'm ever so grateful. Meeting nice people, especially in endgame, has been a rarity so far in this game.

Anything I can ever do for you guys in the future, please ask.

Not sure if you got it yet but I'd be glad to help as well. I love titan hard mode. Selyndria Evangeline, add me and look me up anytime, if I'm on I'll be there to help.

I agree ^. It is fun because it is so challenging, which is a double edged sword. That thrill of barely dodging a plume or figuring out where to stand so you don't get blown to bits by a bomb and the fast pace of the fight is so freakin' fun.

But, mastering that battle? I watched from my lifeless corpse as they went on to beat the fight after I died, and wow, those bombs scared me, and I was already dead.

Did you get to see phase 5 a lot today? I honestly think that is the most fun part of the fight... you have to keep moving, keep thinking, keep dodging... and the music is awesome. :D

^ I couldn't of said it better, titan still remains to be one of my favorite things to do in this game... the moving, the thinking, the dodging, the music...

and no problem Rhaegar, it was a pleasure to have you along and to help you finally get your win....

Grats on you win sir! Think you guys might be able to throw some help this way =). I am Full DL with Ifirit weapon but cant seem to find a group that doesn't completely fall apart after heart phase =( . So anyways if anyone is bored tonight and would be willing to help me out i would appreciate it greatly!

This was my main problem with titan, I figured out good tanking spots, planned ahead of time, memorized the rotations and finally when I get a group they fail at the heart phase, this is due to not having enough DPS to pull it off or they miss an LB hell we had a lvl 3 LB and we still failed at the heart phase, so I was like screw it and got a carry, and I am eternally grateful for the group who helped me and 2 others get their win.

I'd like thank Ryuko and her friends she brought with her to defeat Titan HM and get my first 'W'! after so many trials I can't even count. It's not every day you meet nice people and I totally appreciate you guys for helping me out. Pretty soon, I hope to master Titan HM. Also, I hope to party with you guys again in Crystal Tower since it is a 24 man raid!

My FC + Your FC = Crystal Tower? Hahaha! /(=^_^=)\

Got a group last night that made it down to 8% =( would have probably got him down but we always lost a dps somewhere either right before or after heart. Hopefully tonight i can find another group and get him down. At least last night i got a lot of "after heart" practice so i know that if i can get in with a decent group i will succeed!

Aww, Snow <3. I just want to point out that the majority of the people in that group weren't actually my friends but instead people I found in shout willing to help. Most of my FC doesn't really play until late so at 7PM only a few people were actually online. There are lots of really nice/helpful people around who will join a Titan group if they know someone in the group needs the win. I also want to thank all of the people who whispered me offering to help even after we were full... it just shows how many nice people there are.
