HM Titan Fight

[tkidu]

That's why they call it "HARD MODE" Titan.

Please don't nerf this fight, SE

The only solution at this point is to memorize the rotation (it's posted all over the internet) and put Sprint on your bar. You need to pre-cast Sprint before the ability comes out. If you have the rotation memorized, it should be easy to do.

I suppose that's a path at least. Unfortunately you might also run INTO an AE. Not as likely, but with a 15 min frustrating fight, I wish that the UX worked so it was more a challenging pure skill fight, and less a game of compensating and chance. Meh.

Would be so much easier if there was less lag or his skills took into account lag.

I am in Singapore and have a 180 latency. In most games that is epic smooth. But not in FF14.

In FF14, 180 latency in Titan means that I have to run as soon as I see the plumes. Else I die. I cannot even wait 1 seconds, else I die, even if my screen says I ran out of the plumes.

It also means that I always have problems with the bomb rotation after heart 1 which spawns in 3 straight lines. I can follow my group as they run, be in front of them, yet die while they all take no damage. WTFreak is up which that. It is like playing the lottery... for me.

In Titan, you just need to be a sec slow and you die. Thanks to lag, for me, it is that simple. Small wonder I hate it. HATE IT WITH A VENGEANCE! It also makes me start to rage at the people I play with. That is in no way a social bonding experience. My FC partly from Singapore, and many times, someone will die thanks to some freaking lag spike, some mistake, or just something.

They seriously need to compensate for lag. And I will say it again, need for extreme memorization != skill. And Titan is a straight out memory fight with no redundancy for lag build in.

In that case, people are supposed to spread out and one common problem that I see is that people like to stand next to each other so when the WotL drops, it comes clumped together and becomes very difficult to run out. The way that it's supposed to go is that he targets 3 people/areas with 1 each. You're supposed to have an empty area to run to regardless of what direction you run in.

this fight is way too much impacted by the lag, they need to do something.
people say memorize the fight, is part of it, but that don't change the fact that lag is making this fight a pain... why do you think soo much people fail to do it.

this fight need to be rethink for be less impacted by the lag or it will become a trouble later.

it's not easy in df whatsoever, it's impossible. at least up till now, for the last 5 days it's been pretty much the only thing i've done and i've yet to have a success. the issue is the bomb rocks after elemental fury, at least for me. even if i do get past heart, which does happen occasionally, the pattern of the rock bombs right after ef is f'ing impossible. Remove that set from duty finder and I think alot more groups would finally find some success. this is way too hard for duty finder and is just insanely harder than garuda.

I'm also from Singapore and I have zero problems dodging everything in Titan as melee dps. I don't play casters so I can't say much for them but my friend with 350ms could solo heal Titan.

Use DF for practice only, other than that get a FC or a premade PUG if possible.

Good for you
