Titan HM fight

[Alzithe]

I've been stuck for a while in this fight for the relic weapon.
My ilvl average is 60 which is pretty much the "okay" level for this fight.
Yet parties I've gone to have always failed mainly due to one aoe out of the million, mainly the mutiple stomp after heart. I survive it, but it basically kills all the healers and/or casters unless they spam aoes, added with the pressure of avoiding everything else...yeah.
I thought of an alternative which might make this difficulty steep ladder a bit easier.
Would slotting crafted gear with earth materia help this fight dramatically? Basically all his attacks should be earth so it could change the tides of this fight very much.

ilvl average is solely based on your weapons ilevel. HM Titan can be done in AF gear if the party is good. AK, or AK with a mix of darklight gear helps.

My gear is AK with some darklight.
The problem is not my gear but the DoM's dying to stomps (due to lower hp pools, mainly)
When I see videos of people doing it, they don't seem as affected by it. Thus, if they die so easy earth resistance should fix it up for them...if the damage was actually earth and effectively reduced.
I am just trying to see if there's a were to get specific defenses to make this fight much easier.

Healers really shouldn't be dying, from what I've gathered. I haven't tried HM Titan yet, but from what I've *read*, they should have over 3000HP before attempting.

Healing classes aren't gear intensive. I know of a SCH with an iLvL46 book that beat Titan.

This doesn't really account for BLMs/SMNs dying, but it isn't hard to push your HP up with Vitality gear or food.

*shrug*

But I've never done Titan HM, so I'm speaking from 0 experience whatsoever.

Everybody was indeed above 3k hp yet they still died, I guess from the stomp+tumult combo.
It is really a quite easy fight, the stressing part is that there's jsut way lots of ways to die every second, added with maybe lag issues and such, it just becomes painful despite the amount of HP you stack so maybe finding something to make more efficient HP would be better (reduction)
