Am I geared for HM Titan?

So, I just one shot Garuda (Very happy about that) but now I'm being skeptical about doing HM Titan because I really don't want to be a burden to my party members if I'm not pulling my weight. So I came here to get guidance if I'm truly ready to fight the Primal of Rage

Full i60 with a couple of DL items is fine. The issue is here rather being capable of dodging attacks than gear.

Honestly, as long you have more than 3,100ish hp, you will be fine.
You just need pull your damage out + dodge stuff and you'll be fine.

Ok so a few tome runs and hopefully some drops from AK will get me there. Thanks for the tips, also I'll be studying the fight since I didn't really have a tough time on Garuda even though they are on completely different levels.

Weapon: Ifrit-Garuda (Preferably Garuda)
Armor: DL/AK/TWP Gear (Try to minimize AF)
Accessories: DL/AK

Those are about what you want, just try to get rid of anything pre level 50.

Only partially correct. I ran with a group of full relics when I beat him. They gave me some useful information.

1. The entire fight is a DPS check. After the heart, the tumults will slowly increase in I believe it is stomp count. It becomes increasingly hard to heal the longer the fight drags on. If the fight drags on for too long, you could be looking at an unhealable battle (not absolute but highly likely).

2. Gear: You can win with AK greens with several DL items. However, The more DL items you have, the more likely you are to live. A full DL set will keep you from being one-shotted most times, unless you go standing in Landslide or stand in multiple Weights at once. As for a weapon. Ifrit is minimum, though I might suggest getting your garuda weapon first.

I ran with I believe my AF1 chest still on, but that put a strain on the healers post-heart. Don't do what I did.

3. DODGING: Remember the 5 D's in this fight: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge! Landslides knock you off, Weights kill you, bombs kill you if you are too close. Mountain Buster kills you. The only unavoidable attacks are the gaol if you get targeted, the jumps, the earthen fury, and the tumults. There are 3 jumps, and 1 earthen fury. After the heart, you only have to worry about the gaol and tumults.

Aren't the Wanderer's Palace armors the same ilevel as AF? The chest piece I got is exactly the same as my AF but with Acc+ instead of determination.

No more Landslides/Weights of the Land after the heart?

Probably the most important part of it all. DODGE. Dodge like you never dodged before! (also nice dodgeball movie reference lol)

Fun times... Thank you

Guys, really thanks for all the tips. Wish I could play with all of you, alas I'm stuck in Dia-dildo :D. I'm farming Garuda as we speak, so far no bow has dropped but I do like it that the 3 times I've gone in we've done it flawless and I've learned the rotation of how things go. Hopefully I can get the bow while I wait for my guildies to get on before we start farming AK for tomes. :)

Sorry. I guess I wasn't clear before. After the heart, the gaol and the tumults are the only unavoidable attacks. He does Mountain Buster, which is usually focused on the tank. There's the weights, which you must avoid. The landslide (avoidable), the bombs (noted below), the tumults that get progressively worse (unavoidable), and the gaol (unavoidable and must be dpsed quickly).

Bombs: These are avoidable, and must be else they may kill you instantly.

The one that kills people the most is the ones that come right after the heart. It is 3 rows of three. Watch where the last row spawns and go over there. Be careful because after they land, he'll use landslide in the direction of where that last row landed. Avoid it and run to the center right after it lands.

Depends on your role. If you are a tank, you need daeklight, if you are a DPS you need the garuda weapon and stacked primary stat. The biggest hurdle is getting through heart phase.

I disagree with this 100%. The pre-heart phase and heart phase are the easiest parts of the fight. Post-heart you have to deal with new bomb formations, increased landslides, mountain buster (Constant threat of gibbing your tank), and increased tumult waves on top of granite gaoling.

The amount of healing necessary to both keep the tank topped off and heal through tumult is ridiculous. That's not even mentioning how much exponentially harder the fight gets if even one of your DPS dies.

Post-heart is where things get fun for the healers (and a little added excitement for the tanks as they potentially get almost insta-gibbed by Mountain Buster ;) ), but the OP is a Bard, and unavoidable damage isn't of much concern to the damage dealers. As long as they're in range of Medica, it's business as usual for DDs during the tumults.

After the heart, it's less about racing to the finish and more about staying alive to see the finish. With solid healers, you can survive through quite a few tumults and keep that tank upright, so as long as the healers and DPS don't let themselves die to avoidable damage, things can end well.

You don't need a full group of relics weilders for titan, that is just overkill. It is in reality an Ilvl70 fight, doable with ilvl60 Armor and preferably garuda's weapon, but with enough attention and help from one of the healers during the heart phase and a lvl2 melee LB, it is doable with ifrit weapons. The fight is done FOR relics.
