I'm done with Titan.

Easy fix! Take Titan away from the duty finder. This will force ppl to form their own group. Fights like this should not be on DF. Chimera and Hydra are not on DF, why put the most difficult fight on DF is something I don't understand. I can see using it for practice, but other than that, there's no use for it to be in there.

Out of curiosity, how hard is he for Tanks? ...Do you even really need to move around every 4 seconds? I admit I'm a healer, I'm usually focused more on what I'm dodging and what the tank's HP is at rather than what the tank is actually doing.

I imagine Garuda is the much more difficult fight for tanks.

Not too bad. The aim is to reduce the need for healing as much as possible so that the healers can keep their focus on the party instead.

Between Titan and Garuda I think Garuda is harder but Titan isn't straight forward.
It's a hidden difficulty. If you were causing mages to run dry there's no way for the party to recognise that.

Garuda however only has difficulty in knowing where to stand. Once you've learnt that it's like clockwork! Just hope your secondary tank doesn't mess up.

I spent most of my time in Titan cycling three macros.

#1 To alert the party plumes were coming.
#2 To get a healer to Esuna or Leeches a party member after having been cased in stone to remove the horrible Determination down effect (Good luck in the Heart without this).
#3 To gather together at the start of the final phase cycle so that Stomps can be healed through and plumes will stack instead of spread.

"little to no incentive to do dungeons anyway"

I somehow thought learning how to play your class was more than incentive enough, but I guess that's too much to expect from todays lazy "give me everything just for logging in" mentality.

It should be noted that if anyone in the group has latency issues, this strategy probably isn't the best as failure to escape will ensure you die. Having something like ranged lining up from Titan to the back of the platform with the melee fanned around him lowers the chance for someone with bad latency to get hit by more than 1 plume/weight of the land.

Titan is angry that you're done.... because he isn't done with you!

I took a group of brand new FC members in over the weekend and downed it within thirty minutes. The general consensus was the fight was very fun, and I myself find it very fun. Perhaps you should approach the fight differently?

Yoshi-P said himself when you start reaching this level of content, he wanted it to be obvious that you should start finding/building a community to do these things with rather than rely on the duty finder. Maybe give it a try?

Maybe Yoshi should fix the visual lag bug?

[Devilair]

Plumes will one-shot you in the final phase anyway.
You're going to need to learn to avoid them! Everybody has at least a 0.3 second of latency. Lag is not an excuse, the fights have been designed with this in mind just like 1.0 fights were.
.

I hope you realize how stupid this sound. :\
Anything designed with lag in mind, it's bad.

Playing on a JP Server, I've just beaten this fight twice this weekend. It isn't easy by any means, but learn to anticipate, learn to move ahead of time and learn to make your own parties because DF setup has a very low chance of winning because:
1: You'll get the "HEY GUYS I'M HERE WITH LEVEL 30 RINGS READY TO ROCK WITH 2K HP LOLZ" guy(s).
2: Chance of getting 2 PLDs (It can be done with 2 PLDs but very rare)
3: You'll get someone trying to practice the fight.

Now excuse me while I go heal my nerves from todays battle.

OP exemplifies everything that is wrong with MMO gaming today. Entitled casuals spilling over from WoW.

If you can't do Titan, what makes you think you *need* a Relic weapon? Let alone deserve one?

Complain all you want, you're going to keep banging your head up against Titan's be-hind until you reach this goal of yours. That's what an MMO is all about, not "soothing" you.
