    If you get targeted with Gaol, plumes, and landslide is 100% random. All three will change your dps and if there are other melee with you it is likely to have a larger effect. Bomb placement is also random which is the difference between hitting titan titan the entire time or being forced to move away from him several times.

    How anyone doesn't see that as being random is beyond me.

    unless plumes surround titan fully you can find a hole and keep going. if you have a pretty varied party its rare plums will surround him. landslide is easy to dodge and keep going. only getting jailed twice hurts a lot if you have a party that forgets to esuna or leeches

    There is of course a nice dose of RNG in there, as one can say with a lot of content. The RNG isn't that crazy though as pointed out by Easymode and Cynric. The only thing that you mention that is entirely detrimental to your DPS are the Gaols. Landslide is a joke to sidestep and keep going at full optimal play ( at most it will lead to one mispositioned skill depending on how he turns ) and plumes are easy to avoid either by finding a section on his outer ring that isn't covered or running in to him.

    It's evident in how consistent DPS results can be from Titan instances. There are obviously better measures of DPS/performance but Titan isn't that inaccurate for insight.
