Pugging HM Titan?

[LongNu]

so i suggest

if you cant find a good PUG group on your server or a good FC to do HM titan

do DF HM titan at around 8~11 oclock tokyo time.

but firstly, at least gearing yourself up with DL gears, dont make 外人look bad.

Server's too small to do it with a static group. We'll have to wait a very long time before we can do that. Nevertheless, we're working on gear / organizing groups for the future.

i got my first relic weapon for my warrior from DF, with 7 other japanese players.

and my third relic weapon for my pld from DF, with 6 other japanese players and one NA players who has only 3300hp and died in P1, got raised twice and died again immediately.

both were around 8~10 oclock in tokyo time in the morning.

btw, not single one of them was from same FC, i screenshotted the fight, and checked them in lodestone.

You do know that only works if you're on JP server side, which probably has abundance of JP players that's usually superior and has no problem surviving insane battles even with very few party members.

Unless... someone... somehow... promotes US-based server for more hardcore (latency) challenging for JP players to come over, which will never happen. lol

However, if Titan defeats DF purposes then why is it even allowable as a queue?

You speak like this is the developers fault and not the players fault lol.

Anyway

Replace these awful grey rings for AK or DL pieces and get a primal weapon so you can contribute to the fight properly. Some DL body piece will also help your DPS and survivability.

Its too hard to go to create a local PUG and not use random DF?

Did anyone ever find out which server that player was in that video?

Here is a translation of the OP:

For some reason I cant find a DF group to carry me thru Titan HM. This is BS, and SE needs to fix it. All end game content should be easy enough to solo, or be doable with half the required party members. Gear? I don't need gear. I am so awesome at dps that I do not require good gear and am still able to out dps anyone ever cause I am so fricking awesome.

If you are a WAR it is. Nobody wants to do this fight with a WAR tank which imho is an even worse game design. I have been kicked from local PUGs just because a freaking PLD made a shout just before entering a fight.

^ There is that. People doing the groups always either have a PLD already or don't want a WAR. If you want to put together a group, not too many people want to do it with a WAR. I'm personally going the route of waiting around for a FC I joined to get up to the fight and helping them along the way to just do it with them. But, hell, I've had duty finder groups where people will join in, see 2 warriors, say "Great, no PLD," and straight up leave. I've got full DL and garuda's axe and 7100 HP, so I'm not sure what else that I can do to counter common prejudice.

Yes, it is. Our server is one of the new server and it hardly has any 50s on it. The 50s that are on it are even less geared than we are.

Except almost every time Longnu and I have done this we have been able to DPS the heart down in time when we get to that phase. We have not been failing Titan for that reason. The reason we have been failing is there's always someone in the group who cannot dodge all of Titan's moves. If one person dies it almost dooms the whole raid in this fight unless that person can be rezzed. Also two tanks is useless for Titan, but you are forced to queue with it for DF. Also we have a parser that's basically been saying both of us have been outdpsing everyone even when they outgear us. DPS is not the problem.

Dpsing down the heart is not the hard part of the fight. The hard part of the fight comes AFTER you shatter the heart. That is when the healers need the good gear, the ability to dodge, and have to be able to manage their mana while using aoe heals. That is when every class needs to be on their toes, know the attack rotation, be able to anticipate instead of react. The moves come fast and hard here, and make the first bit of the fight, and the heart phase look easy. DF groups from my server have no problem shattering the heart but all also fail after.

It is not something you should be able to expect to do in a DF group, but this is no reason it should not be part of the DF.
