What's harder Twintania or Titan?

Twintania or Titan Extreme?

Titan Extreme in my opinion is way harder.. spent 2 hours+ everyday since release for it whereas I one shotted Twintania when I subbed for a scholar ><

In my opinion, Twintania is just a massive gear check with mechanics that are pretty simple. Titan Ex has much harsher mechanics, although not as much of a gear check. Both have their respective walls. Titan Ex is a lot harder imo.

Pretty sure in general people put more work to get Twintania down than they did Titan. If that's how you want to measure it then I'd say Twintania.

Twintania is harder, but you have already done Twintania, so you find Titan harder.

Titan EX is harder, imo, just because if people mess up and get knocked off they can't come back to the fight.

as a healer twintania, since i have to mitigate every death sentence so tank doesnt get 1 shotted. Ex titan is a faceroll for me, since i can cleric stance half the fight, and not worry about 1 shotting tank.

how much hours you spend on twintania when you arent using scholar ? its not called one shot if you are not actually came there and killed her in 1 try

you say its easier because you already passed it

Twintania, Titan Extreme isn't very hard its a short fight too.

I think people are saying Titan is harder because it's a new difficult fight and they haven't mastered the mechanics yet. When I first fought Titan HM, I felt like it was the hardest boss I've ever encountered in any game...but now he's a total pushover.

Twintania is harder. Titan EX is just like Titan HM its all about memorizing mechanics and having atleast decent gear.

I feel like Twintania is more difficult overall because it features more complicated mechanics, a fairly big DPS skill/gear check, heavy tank damage, and a number of RNG-influenced mechanics.

Titan's difficulty is a completely different kind. The mechanics themselves are incredibly simple. Stack on top of each other for most of the fight and move out of bad stuff. Have gaoled people run in opposite directions. Don't get hit by bombs. Everything is on a static rotation and RNG plays very little into the fight. On top of that, the DPS check is fairly lenient and the damage is very predictable and easy to heal through.

Titan, however, is far more *punishing* in that any screw-up by any person at any time during the ~9 minute fight can very easily ruin the entire run, whereas Twintania allows for much more room for error. Someone getting hit by a divebomb, or someone eating an egg outside of a neurolink, or a tank getting oneshot by DS during the conflag phase... all of these can be recovered from. But if a tank or healer gets knocked off in Titan, or a DPS eats a bunch of stacked plumes and causes the healer to explode in a gaol because he couldn't be broken out fast enough, then the run is pretty much over, or at least made *much* more difficult.

I still say Twintania is a lot harder especially with the the inability to cast Virus and Rain Of Death (version 2.0) makes a new challenge to manage Death Sentence and Fireball.

Twintania gear check is way stricter than Titan Ex.

What makes Titan Ex difficult is because of the area constrain that strangles you in a small area of movement for dodging purposes so it requires lots of coordination. But once you understand the sequence of mechanics, it gets very much easier to dodge them with the given area.

Twintania is definitely harder, it has a higher gear requirement, dps checks, party hp checks, tank checks, healing checks, group coordination checks, the fight is also longer which means its more likely to have screw ups. That said, the mechanics are less punishing.

Needing more numbers doesn't make anything harder(Gear checks). Both have simple mechanics.
Only problem here is if everyone could just keep their focus for 9-15 minutes...

Titan EX just because it's more fast paced and more unforgiving.

This is a real thread?

Titan EX is fun, just get familiar with the music. Just like dancing, you will know which skill Titan is going to use by just listening to the music. I've done so much Titan HM before 2.1 on all jobs/roles and I'm real familiar with the fight by just paying attention to what I hear, when I tried Titan EX for the first time, it was a big mind f*ck when I saw him used Mountain Buster on the first phase with the wrong music. And when he summoned the potatoes after the heart phase when it should have been Mountain Buster.

Well yes obviously. why not?

I haven't beaten either yet, but so far we've spent less time and gotten farther on Titan EX than Twintania.
Titan EX just seems more doable.

It might be perhaps because there are few new mechanics on Titan after doing HM whereas every phase of Twintania is something new to learn and wipe to.

Without a doubt, Twintania. Both fights require proper execution from everyone in the group, but that's all that titan has. Twintania has random factors to it that can make a clean run go south quickly, and an always present threat of a tank insta-death.

Twin took I think, on average, most groups probably somewhere 20-40 hours to truly learn and master (at least, it did, a few months ago, when people had less gear), and titan, seems to be something like, maybe a few hours if you have any sort of skill.
