Titan HM Tank Gear Requirements?

[fearfactoryman]

Tanking Titan is super easy...in fact the Tank has the easiest job out of all classes for that fight. I would highly recommend you get over 5200 HP before trying though. This means full DL accessories (you need an earring...seriously...), full AK gear for other slots with Ifrit weapon minimum. This is very doable with that gear provided the rest of your team is up to snuff with dodging & healing. More is always better though as you need to be able to survive some of the high damage moves he does.

Thank you for the replies. I will gear up for 5.3K HP unbuffed and see if my FC will help me farm Garuda since I beat Garuda 1st attempt with them. I don't want to have earrings on a male character but I will use the DL earrings temporarily to get past Titan or any other hard parts in the game.


I don't really know what I will be running. My FC currently only has 1 well geared healer (basically full DL and Garuda weapon) though so I will probably trying doing the 2 healer set up with them.

YOUR CHARACTER IS WEARING A HELMET YOU TWELVE YEAR OLD.

I would suggest the 2 healer setup. But it sounds like you all need some more gear and you need to get over that fear of earrings before hand. If you dont like them, turn off the helmet options and I believe it hides the earrings.

He's using the ugliest helmet in the game to cover the earrings he's NOT wearing.

@ OP: Sorry man... its just silly to not wear earrings. I get that maybe you don't want to show them off but you already show your helmet. Are you so RP you can't come to terms with actually wearing earrings to be the best you can? In my opinion you're doing a disservice to every single player you group with. Its not only silly its selfish and in my FC would be completely unacceptable. Just my 2gil....

Thanks for the suggestion. The FC I'm in hasn't cleared Titan yet. We have 4 healers at 50 total I think, 5 tanks at 50, and about 11 DPS at 50. Only a few members have full DL. I know for fact 1 healer and 1 tank are our most geared and the other healers literally hit 50 within the last couple days. So we will probably do the 2 healer set up because it works better for our composition anyway.

My FC is pretty laid back. I didn't think people would really be that upset about the earring, I'll start using them. It's kind of silly not using them but it's kind of silly not having another option there like earring/2nd wrist spot. There's different FCs for different people and while we will have a few max/min people everyone can do what they want as long as they are helpful and don't cause drama.

I can appreciate being laid back and I would agree that its about having a good time. That being said when you die to mountain buster because you were 200 HP short... its gonna be your earrings fault. Consider the fact that if you screw up bombs you could take upwards of 7000 dmg over 5s or so. As a PLD who's tanked and killed Titan I'm saying you WILL want to max your survivability. There is so much dmg going around that taxing your healers more is just silly. Without an earring you're going to take more dmg from everything. Granted it may seem small but over a longish fight like titan I would imagine you will require a fairly large number of increased healing running with an empty slot.

Again, its just silly and selfish. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about having a good time. That being said Titan is NOT the place for it. Especially if you're trying to kill it for the first time.

better gear helps... deciding not to wear a gear slot "just because" is going to get flamed pretty hard.
That being said I was able to tank Titan HM with:
Ifrit's Axe, Hopilite ARMOR, Darklight Accessories (2nd ring Hopilite) ... While using Knight's Bread (toss it up once P5 starts)
"under geared" is a term people use a lot, and I think that's because they assume that all content after AK should be done in full Darklight + Garuda weapon... advancing in to il90/relic as soon as you can. But to repeat, better gear does help.

For DSP/mages 3,000hp is a minimum for Titan. 3,500 is safer if they can reach it.
For tanks you need 5k+ (Pld) or 6.5k+ (War) again more is better.
If you have the HP to live through table flip and they have the HP to live through stomps.... and people avoid plumes / bombs / landslide... you're fine.

If Harrison Ford can rock an earring, you can rock an earring.

Your argument is invalid.

Men all over the planet wear earrings. Get over it. It's not some homophobic thing. You came here asking for advice and you're surprised you were reamed for the earring situation?

first time i beat titan HM was in full AF and no accessories on at all.

You just need ppl that know how to move out of the big red areas and u beat him.
