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

Hopefully you're not pugging it so you can synch well with (hopefully) you're SCH healing partner. When people group up for the jump, pre-cast a Cure III right before he lands so you can top everyone off and spread out. Always be cognizant of what move is about to come up so you can adjust your heal. Before stomps I always pop a Divine Seal + Quickcast + Medica II, and if people need to be topped off I cast a Medica. The SCH will be healing too, so don't feel like you have to do everything.

I generally pop SoS at the end of every jump to keep threat low. Keep regen on the tanks and pop a Medica II when you can so the aoe damage wont' be as much of an emergency as healing the tanks. Save benediction for the MT. A tableflip on 2 stacks in the last phase, followed by a punch is a TON of damage, so Benediction will keep them safe if needed. Don't finish a heal if it means you're going to be hit by WotL. Your death isn't worth it.

I try to do the exact opposite: make sure medica 2 isn't up when they spawn and make sure I have shroud of saints up for that phase. In our group I (WHM) heal main tank and SCH heals off tank while adds are up (I've had hate issues there as WHM).

Other than that, know the rotation and make sure everyone is at good health for all stomps and geocrushes. It's not a difficult fight to heal at all.

well, if the scholar is doing his job, and by job i mean that using virus, placing sacred soil, oh sh!t heals on tank and mitigating damage, u only have to heal and thats it, u have it easy

oh yes, i forgot, choose a tank and when adds, dont forgert to throw a cure or cure II to your tank, i know that bombs on that phase are hardo to dodge but keep him alive, cure III is awesome on this fight

Titan EX isn't too bad on healing if people move properly. If people move poorly, no amount of healing can save the day. (You can't heal someone hard enough to move them an extra yard to the left!)

Key tips:

Pay attention to the tank swaps; drop Regen on whoever grabbed threat to mitigate auto-attack damage.
Cure 1 should be able to fix Cleave damage, particularly with Regen on.
Cure 2 (x2?) after every Mountain Buster.
Medica 2 early when Tumult's coming on, and do so from Titan's rear so you cover the Tanks as well. Med2+Regen = happy tank.
When Tumult happens, if you started Med2 early, you can do Med2+Medica before plumes get ya. Then you can Medica again immediately afterwards.
Cure 3 is great but is a bit of a mana-hog. I like to use it after Geocrush (leap) and Titan's Ultimate. People must stack.
Don't forget to heal OT during add phases!

Just get into a rotation and practice enough so you'll know when to cast stuff like Medica II. The healing requirement isn't too bad on this fight (with 2 healers that is). In our case the SCH actually does the vmajority of the tank healing while I look after the party. All I really do on the tank is Regen and Stoneskin before/Cure II after Mountain Buster.

Also, try not to have Medica II still ticking away when the adds pop. If you cast it during the heart phase stomps it should be off before they do.

I'm a bit curious as to which method makes the tank happier:
To pop all regens (med2, regen) on potatoes and not heal, or
To not use regens and heal.

I personally lean more on the former, but since my tank's all from the static they don't mind it.

There are few good hints in those replies.
But to be honest Titan EX is just all about dodging the stuff, throw cure II after Mountain Buster, and healing the group during stomps and jumps.

Really not a tough job to heal as long as you know the pattern and you have dps that don't eat WoL :)

I would have love that SE put us a marker on us to see when we have the gaol on us because it's not that easy to see when you are stacked up :)

Start of fight,

Land slide > Plumes = Use Stoneskin because Table flip is coming
Stomping time, self explanatory.
Land Slide after stomps = Stoneskin again

Know that until the heart is defeated, stomps always come after the Gaols.

Before the heart is defeated and after the two stoneskins mentioned above; stoneskin after the plumes because table flip will occur after it.

After heart;

Goals = Stoneskin
>Stomp Time
>Double Plume = Stoneskin

You don't really need stoneskin for MB if you keep the tank topped of. Except during add phase you have more than enough time to get the tank back up fast :)

I know this is a WHM focused thread but maybe some input for SCH:

I place my pet at around 11 oclock right of Titan on the other area with the dark brown texture. After the first Geocrush she will start floating outside the platform in relative safety.
Sacred Soil during all stomps. Virus on all second stomps (btw, better to let the SCH use Virus due to faster CD and communicate on it. Otherwise you waste your casts on immunity).
Succor before and after stomps.
Sacred Soil and succor for past heart aoe Damage.
Have Adlo on the tank focusing Titan at all times to help with MB mitigation and keep him topped of.
Eye for an eye on MT with Adds. It really helps here if you communicate and decide which healer is focusing on MT exclusively (there will most likely be a swap during that add phase, so careful there).

Don't need to, but I like to. Our SCH runs Cleric Stance [ON] for like 90% of the fight in Titan now so I do what I can to ensure the Tank doesn't get critted by a mountain buster and I'm stuck in a bad position of having to wait for a Cure II to be casted and usually failing because the following attack kills them.

Better safe than sorry.

Cure3 is way much better than medica2 in titan x, sure u can shroud medica 2 after heart but it will make life easier for OT to quicky position the egis ASAP unless ur party enjoys landslide to NW NE SW SE bombs rather than the NWSE bombs where imma sure ur melee will 80% dead and several peeps might die too!
