Titan X is the bane of my existance

Almost 2 months later and I still haven't gotten the kill. I surrender! Give me 2.2 and stronger gear. This wall is so frustrating lol

*runs away crying

(This has been a cool story)

But stronger gear won't make people magically dodge landslides/plumes...

It's been a month and a week since 2.1 hit...

Nope but better gear will certainly make Titan EX HP go down faster due to the increase in damage doen to Titan. Which means less landslides/plumes to dodge.

Major update release is about 2.5 months each so we will see 2.2 around March.

2.1 was a month late due to issues we had 1st month.

4 major weeks of whiping, without a single clear.

If I go as a SCH, my DPS die because there's always one idiot who stands in stuff
If I go as DRG, there's always a DPS/healer/tank who dies b ecause they stand in stuff.

I don't have an end-game LS, I only raid and do Twintania with a group who picked me up and we clear it weekly, then we're done raiding. So I have no luck clearing this content wall, and I'm personally getting tired of it. Mostly because I've done the run perfectly -so many times-, but don't have the good fortune of finding 7 other people on Gilgamesh who are just as good.

hehe not dying to dodging dying to super punches to my face. etc (although sometimes I admit things get crossed up and away i go)

Wat.

Like really though, it has been 5 weeks since 2.1 launched. That's a cool story you wrote for us there but it doesn't explain how the the OP has been stuck on content for 8 weeks, when said content hasn't even been out that long :/

Just wait a bit longer until it get nerfed.

I don't think it will. They never nerfed Titan HM did they?

Yep at the rate this is going I won't be surprised if we see this in the patch notes.

- Titan's attack "Landslide" will no longer knock back players upon hit.
- Titan's attack "Weight of the Land" area of effect reduced by half.

Just saying it won't be that long before 2.2 hits. we still got 1 month and a half but EX Primals are made more for organized people who have mostly geared their character with ilvl 90 gears.

HM is joke by itself without nerf

or u want them to nerf easy fight to be easier like Thornmarch?

also hey EX more easier than HM to be honest

not much plumes spamming like HM has

- Titan HM no longer does anything. Greets you with message and hands you weapon of choice.

people got smarter. thats it.

but people also forgot that the majority of the mechanics for EX are just less forgiving versions of the HM ones.

OP, I suggest making a post on your world forums and asking for help. Explain your situation, be polite, and plenty of players who know the fight will be willing to step forward. I see it on my world forums (Hyperion) all the time, even when it was just Titan Hard. Party Finder really goes one way or the other...

1) Either there are those groups that say, "Must have beaten before, will queue Ifrit," and you can't join those because you haven't won yet, even if you can dodge all the things. A lot of the time, these groups fall apart anyway because someone clearly doesn't know what they're doing despite having the win.
2) You make or join a learning group, and people have varying degrees of experience. The more experienced and impatient players are likely to drop after a few tries because they wanted a 'win party'.

I understand your frustration. I try to make 'for the win' parties for people in my FC/LS who need it somewhat often. But if you don't have a FC/LS that can do that... like I said, make a forum post and ask for help.

Are you sure?

I feel like you're exaggerating.

If I could carry my groups through the 2nd set of adds, I would, idk why everyone falls apart there. I have had only 1 clear since ive started doing it. Behemoth server you embarrass me.

i hope the trials remain as they are.

When my FC needs to bring in pugs to Ex primal groups, it suddenly becomes harder then Twintania. Was trying to bring in several friends to Titan Ex (separate occurrences) and there's always 1 pub healer that doesn't heal properly, or that 1 pub tank that doesn't swap correctly, or that 1 pub DPS that does half the DPS of the others in the team. It gets annoyingly frustrating how one or more people could ruin things for an entire party

Thet likely will, but thankfully (in my case) once new gear is out this should become considerably easier.

Titan Ex is definitely extreme. But after many fights, just avoid individual mistakes and one day when u meet a group of them like you, all will be well^^ Don't give up.

Have you considered.... making your own group?!

Just kick the people who suck, keep the people who play well. Should get a kill within 1 hour.

aw come pls dun nerf titan x, thats one of the really entertaining fun fight!

overcompensation much?
min ilv for TitanX is 67-68, that's all you need.
I did fine at ilv 73; if you cant dodge plumes at ilv 73, you cant dodge plumes at ilv 83, or even 93...and you really shouldnt get hit by any of them, no matter how many times he throws them at you.
gear doesn't make any huge difference, skill does. I out-dps many ilv85 ppl, at ilv73. So blaming gear is just bad excuse.
For the generic player, the difference of ilv 90 and 100, is gonna be something like 10 more DPS...which isnt going to help much, when Titan has close to 400k hp.
ppl usually just think: oh hey, im gonna get better gear, and then it will be easy! WRONG, ppl actually derp more, cause they get overconfident.
So dont blame player gear, blame player skill :) (or lack of)

The extreme primals are part of the main story. They will get nerfed eventually.

Not exactly. Your main story quest, wont get interrupted if you dont kill EX. Main story goes through Moogle King, and ends shortly after that.
EX are just sidequests, to the main story.

actually, main story brings me to EX Garuda ? I hvnt seen the end of the main story yet I have to beat Garuda EX...so I do believe that you require EX Primals to finish the main story....maybe I am wrong though

nope i cleared that part of story

only force u to kill moggle king

EX primals are side quest

Okay, seriously: If the problem is you dying, you have to step up and improve your dodging skills. I don't know if it's lag, lack of reaction time or w/e, but this is not a fight you can get carried by PUGs. Work on the issue if it's something you can work on (you not properly dodging), or yes, give it up if it's pure lag you can not get rid of. Gear will not help as much as you think if you're not dodging. Full I90 is already far more than needed, that doesn't stop a lot of full I90 parties from wiping.

If the issue is the other players and you're sure you can 95%+ of the times not be the first one to die, you should start your own parties with severe kicking rules due to failures.

There are a lot of good players out there doing this fight, and quite a few of these players are more likely to join strict parties because they also don't want to lose a lot of their time. I know that if I join a party and someone else screws up 3-4 times on the same thing, I really hope the PT leader replaces him or else I'm the one leaving.

Either that or get really lucky, or work your way to join some farming party or w/e.

If you were in my server we could carry you.... with a fee.

I have not had a perfect clear through the Primal EX fights. Every win I have had with either Weekly Clear or Farm groups have been a messy struggle for survival (i.e. feels like a first-time win all over again).

it's not all about gear, it's about quick movement & awareness of surrounding that even a full lvl 90 must have.
Titan ex is just merciless with its instant kill mechanics. You can have a grp with full 90 stuff,but if don't know how to dodge it's over.
The common recipe for failure is slow reaction &/or lags o;

just keep trying, i had one shot pugs for all ex primals..

or buy one.

Hit me up in game later tonight 8-9pm EST after I finish my Coil run. If you are not dying and doing everything right, I will get you the kill with a pug :).

We all cried over Titan HM until people got better at the rotation... it'll be the same with this. Once people get more practice, learn it better, it'll be easy.

I felt the same way. I was doing fine on every run, but someone else would die and things would go wrong.
My Free Company decided to start working on it together, we downed him the same day. Then Ifrit the next.

Get in a Free Company of people that want to learn content and progress. It works wonders ^^/

People still fail miserably at Titan HM...
