IMO, Titan HM is the most poorly planned progression point in the game right now

Funny to see people complain that they can't finish a relic which currently is the best weapon in the game. Sorry, but this fight should be difficult, if you want one get better or run with better players. The fact that it takes no effort whatsoever except for this very fight to get a relic is the bigger issue if you ask me. For the record this comes from someone who has not gotten his done and might not ever get it if it is as difficult as people here claim.

Oh and for those complaining that Titan HM is too hard. It's really not all that bad once you understand the mechanics of it.

The best advice I can offer is to form a group on your server that's prepared to sink a couple of hours into it with no one leaving/rage quitting etc. Then go in with the mind to learn the encounter, not beat it at first. The heart phase is little more than a gear check, if your DPS can't get it down, they need to go away and work on their equipment. Forming your own group allows you to at least gear check people first to ensure they have a good chance of putting out the right numbers.

Beyond that, the best way to get a feel for phase 3 is to write down the order of abilities that titan uses, stick them on the side of the monitor. Bombs are little more than a case of learning the 3 various patterns and are far easier than they look. Plumes are a reaction check but knowing in advance when they are going to pop makes the world of difference (Also check your screen is in game mode, 10bit panels and TVs can be very slow to the order of 20-50ms!). The two buster attacks on the tank are a non event once the healers have it in their head to spam heal the tank after every line, remember that you get a smallish 2k hit with a very distinctive animation first, then the killer ~4k follows a few seconds later.

If you've got people that are really struggling with the movement and avoidance side of things in phase 3, consider simply stopping DPS once the heart dies and timing how long you can stay alive.

I would agree with this but sadly PPL started shout for BUY the Titan fight, meaning that PPL get relic without much effort anyway.

Yea it's a bit sad that players are hiring mercs this early on in the games life, especially when the playing field is quite level and there is a lot of interest in the current content.

The rage quit in the community right now is staggering. I understand if your DPS is too low but I have seen some cry babies leave after one run when we were close to getting it down.
