Is Titan That Hard?

I just beat Garuda Hard today pretty convincingly. I keep hearing horror stories about Titan, but after watching the video he doesnt look that hard mechanically. Am I missing something? Im gonna give it a go later on today.

Wach a video of drawing something complicated. Now do it yourself, most likely you won't succeed. Same analogy applies here.

No, people just need to pay attention and learn the pattern

Im a lot better at gaming than I am drawing, so that isnt a good comparison for me.

Garuda you can beat with AF and meh gear. Titan you need to deal very good dps dodge stuff while not in the way of everyone. The most annoying thing are the bombs and Weight of the Land in phase 3. People clip Weight of the Land on to your's or stand to close to you and gives you no way to escape and die.
Titan you should have mostly DL gear not only for the dps or healing but also for the Health. Titan's AOE hurt's, specially in phase 3 (600-800dmg a hit 8 times in a row to everyone).

Tactics on Titan HM: Don't stand on AoE.

Easy mode for Tank and DPS, hard mode for Healer.

Unfortunately avoiding Landslide is apparently still very luck based for EU players (unless yesterday's maintenance fixed that, Magitek Cannon had similar issues if it was directly centered on me, but I could dodge it now), that attack is the worst AoE EU players need to handle.

Quoting for truth. Titan will break you if you play as a healer. He'll crush your pride.

It's even worse if you have a bad or average connection and tend to be hindered by the AOE delay.

I gave up on my Thyrus because of my connection and Titan. I barely managed Garuda with my random stalls, tried Titan 3 times and no matter what my net would stall out on me and 1 healer is down. Everyone wipes, yells at me and leaves. I have given up hope of ever wielding a Thyrus now and will just work on gearing my other jobs.

He is easier then Garuda, problem is people don't get the predictable pattern or spread out for puddles.

Titan HM makes Garuda look easy and yeah, Garuda is easy. He's more forgiving compared to Titan.

Tanks: Easy, as long as you have enough HP. You're fine. You rarely have to move or dodge. Even in Phase 3.
DPS: They move constantly, dodging, some don't depending if they're long range or close range.
Healers: They have to heal the tank, while dodging, and sometimes the occasional ress. Incredibly hard for healers since they have more to do.

Thanks for the breakdown

That might be true for healers. For tank it is just bore/snorefest while DPS/Healers dies on AoE, because of latency issues or not. I know the Weight of the Land sucks to dodge even with slight delay. FC member posted a video about it (constantly kept hit by it) and in the video he was far side of the battleground, almost max distance of the AoE circle but he still got hit everytime in his screen even when he wasn't no where near the effect when it ended.

Pretty impressive design to make it so that you can't clear content if you don't live next to the datacenter.

He is easier for tanks harder but harder for healers and dps. I can do titan in my sleep though since i know his pattern by heart. 3 healers makes it such an easy fight that i am surprised anyone fails it. (1 healer can full time dps phase 1 but after heart phase they becomes a full time healer) Tanks and dps need to be healed asap in phase 3

I've had this happen to me as well on Titan HM and, honestly, it stops me from being anywhere near as effective as I'd like to be. I've been multiple steps away on my screen and still get hit. Because Titan's so damn strong, it's a lot more prominent than it is in other battles.
