Titan-Egi can tank duty bosses.

I just did a run where the tank let me use Titan to tank all the bosses. And it worked really well. The egi never lost agro and it generally really fun to do. However I have yet to try out doing it on trash mobs. Since it has weak AOE agro, I dont think that may work out unless you alternate basic attacks between each mob and spam his spin.

I did a Tam-Tara run as a Summoner tank. It's tricky, but doable providing your party doesn't go nuts on the mobs. You just have to go backwards through the mobs, letting the egi attack each one until you get to the one you want to kill first. So long as you don't pull hate off him and the party isn't attacking the first one you did things should go smoothly.

Topaz Carbuncle can safely tank up to Haukke Manor. Been there, done that.

Titan-Egi is a lot better tank than people give him credit for. He used to tank Ramuh extreme like a complete boss.

That was due to an error on SE's part for not scaling lightning damage to him correctly.

I vaguely remember hearing about that - did they patch that?

I'd like to see a Titan-Egi tank a Titan, just for the weird novelty of it.

Then when the summoner's party wins, he has to turn to the Kobolds and say "Where's your god NOW!?"

But Titan is a ground type, he should be immune.

Do titan-egi runs of dungeons often. So far up to quarn hm and sastasha hm all tanked fine by titan egi - and that includes trash. And not really planned as well. Just 4 of us noone wants to tank... let titan-egi tank. And queue up drex/drhigh hehe. Ahh and a snowcloak as well when the tank was having connection problems. We got through to the last boss before they've managed to reconnect.

Yeah, I believed that got patched out a while ago, can't exactly remember when though.

How was everyone geared? If you are overgearing the dungeon that is nor surprising.

I dont see the relevance. It was Amdapor Hard Mode.

Amdapor HM is i100, being in i120 is roughly 20% more powerful than you need to be to handle the dungeon. If Titan-Egi managed to tank the dungeon while everyone was in i100 or less that would be impressive.

When everyone and their dog was playing arc at the 2.0 launch because everyone already had all their jobs to 50 except arc. Pretty much did every dungeon with 4 arc because everyone wanted exp for their only job that could get exp so made own groups to go in with 4 arc.

I've used the topaz carbuncle/ Titan-egi in dungeons where I've ended up with shitty tanks that refused to take ANY advice.

Best SMN tanking I have done was Topaz carbuncle in Copperbell easy mode when ARR first released, party wiped except for me, I threw out a topaz carby and kited until it got hate, once it did just nuked it down. so much fun getting that save.

I have healed few dungeons with blm as main tank. Those dungeons can be tanked with any job.

My roommate and one of my friends tan tam-tara with my lvl 19 war last night. And my roommate Titan tanked with me. Was fun, I'd let Titan grab whatever and I'd grab other things.... I couldn't pull hate of Titan on bosses xD

It'd be more impressive if Titan-Egi were to tank it with everyone else at i120 or greater considering that there are real tanks i120+ who fail at holding aggro against comparable-ilvl DPS.

When I convinced a few friends to join the game (they're loving it now!) we decided to just do a 4-DPS premade to get through all the low level content. I brought my SMN and played every role at the same time, it was pretty great. Sometimes I think the game would be more interesting if roles weren't so rigid.

Just for fun.

I have more but are no tank fights like demon wall, we couldn't kill the last boss of amdapor keep as duo, it requires esuna leeches or big heals.

Another fun thing to do is Soloing dungeons with Titan Egi.

For managing trash mobs.

Egi on Obey. Sustain - Bio on a mob and then Heel. All the mobs gather on the Summoner. Rouse + Mountain Buster then Sick.

Always have Rouse for the pull. You will get 2 Mountain Busters under Rouse which is amazing AOE enmity.

Often. Tends to be a lot better than a lot of random tanks you find.

Yeah, an i100 Titan-Egi holding aggro against i120+ DpS would be a sight to see.

amdapor hm is i90 req
but its definitely not balanced around i90, due to the dps checks
its more like i106

I once did Haukke Manor without a healer. So as a PLD I helped cure the Topaz Carbuncle that we had and I didn't tank a thing!

Mehhhhhhhhhhhh diva tanks!

Me and my wife qued Halatali HM last night: me on smn (110) and her on Whm. the dungeon seemed to start out fine. We loaded in with a pld and drg. Well the pld starts pulling stuff, as in only the first set of mobs. Now understand, my wife is used to healing my WAR on speed runs and so she suggested he could pull more mobs at once since it was late and we wanted to get the dungeon done soonish. So the pld just leaves the duty... Guess he thought he was teaching us a lesson. Well I take Titan out and pull two groups forgetting my enkindle was on CD. we wipe once, the drg bails on us and another one ques, a first timer. At this point I've about had it with the luck so far. So we proceeded to run the rest of the dungeon this time with proper care. You know things went pretty smooth and Titan tanked everything in there like a boss! Sad to say that pld that left had pretty good gear but Titans balls were bigger than his ego, you weren't missed mister diva tank!

Weird, Archer was released way back at 1.0. . .

Definitely started 2.0 with all 50s save for the new ARCanist. I thought the theme of this thread was about tanking dungeons with Titan-egi. I see a lot of OT posts... Must be ppl trying to tell smn something lol. Haters gonna hate.

Yep ACN ARC, ahh the Internet, where misunderstanding abounds. I assume there's some implied rhetoric with the archer post, which is why I wrote ARCanist. You ma'am are a chidingly sassy lass! Thanks for the ego-wafflez

This nerf?
The following issues have been addressed:
- An issue in “The Striking Tree (Hard)” and “The Striking Tree (Extreme)”, wherein the damage taken by pets was abnormally low.

They nerfd the ramuh instance. Not the pets.

It's weird, though, because the correct abbreviation is right there in every weapon you equip or ability you use. I don't get how people mess this up.

I know how it happens. They don't care in most cases. Lolz. The only ppl caring are grammar nazis that activate during a time of extreme grammar crisis. It's only natural.

Yes that one. Since that day somehow it feels that titan does get more damage than normal.
