HM TITAN - BLM

Don't forget to keep Manawall up.

Manawall can essentially absorbs 2 landslides and negates the pushback effect as well.

It's especially great during heart phase where you won't have to move and interrupt your casting/rotation.

It also absorbs bomb damage so I'd suggest you just keep it up at all times during the last phase, you never know when it'll save you ^^

I honestly think Manawall is the best ability BLM gets from the BLM quests.

Wish more BLMs made use of this ability.

It stops knockback?!?! UNFAIR! Tempered will doesnt, and that's like, the piont of tempered will :<

NERF BLM KNOCK BACK RESISTANCE OH MA GAWWWWWWWW PLD UNDERPOWERD CUS OF THIS

Srsly though, that's cool to know. I am only a little salty about my dedicated knock-back resist skill not working on it though.

I simply pop manawall whenever I see that I cant avoid an attack. Keep it as a panic button. Something else ive been thinking to try is to macro aetherial traversal to tank and have that as a low cd dodge move. Seeing as titan does one ability at a time it should be safe to do without getting horribly murdered by mountain buster.

I'd do it to a healer, they're generally in safer positions also you can't derp and end up getting hit by mountain buster anyway. Besides, if the healer gets hit by something that's making you panic button, the runs probably a lost cause at that point whether or not you're alive.

I'm just thinking if the healer is already moving while you do it chances are you end up in whatever he is running from. So I am not sure that is such a good idea. Wotl can't target a tank so it should be a lot safer. Unless titans normal attacks are cone based.

/ac "Aetheral Manipulation" <mo> = mouseover teleport to another player. That + manawall = BLM Titan win!

That would work if I was not using a controller :p any type of mouseover is a nono for me.

Managed to clear HM Titan without this ... but will definitely try it out in future runs!

Wow, great tips guys, keep em' coming! ^^

Btw, does manawall also negate the push back from AK's 2nd boss? (demon wall)

It does not. :(

It only negates the knock-back affect on abilities that knock you back as a result of doing damage, or so it seems. So if you negate the damage portion of the attack, the kb doesn't kick in. So it also works on the Ifrit move that pushes you back if you're in range, for example. With AK it's the inverse; you get repelled first and take damage after. I haven't tried it on Garuda's whirlwinds.

Actually you CAN block the Demon Wall's Repel if you negate it's damage. A friend of mine combined Stoneskin and Adloquium to make it deal zero damage effectively negating the first push

Manaward negates demon wall repel. manaward should negate about 1100 magic damage (with 3300+ hp) and the repel only does about 700. i always negate the second push (when the back turns into the purple stuff)

It has saved my bacon more times than i can count.

Nice ability to have and for those that don't use it much, you should certainly check it out in different situations :)

I've started using it on demon wall and it works like a charm. My new tactic is, tank take bees while dps burn wall. If its not dead when bee spawns then it soon will be.
