I love the game, but... Titan

Ok this is where my problems with the LS and the FC system come in. OP is in a FC, FC is obviously not helping him out. They are social. Thats a linkshell! Linkshells are for social!! Not FC's! Why, why does no one seem to understand this? If you need to go through Titan and CT and Coil you need a FC. Your social group obviously aint cutting it. That was never the intention of the Devs for FC use. But no, everyone and there brother has to have there own FC, and this right here is what happens. My advice to you is get a real FC. Linkshells = social FC = Titan. Simple.

Also, you might want to get your Thurm up to 26 for swift cast. As a whm you should have this, it is helpful in fights like Titan for multiple reasons besides raise. Your tanks taking mountain buster to the face will thank you for it.

This^ It also helps a lot when you have heal someone that have 25% HP from getting hit by avoidables just before AOE pre-heals and heals from needed Tumult (Stomps). How many times have you seen people dying from the first few stomps of Tumults becuase they couldn't dodge the attack right before?

while i totally agree that every mage should have swiftcast, as it is an invaluable ability, its not going to make the difference in a win or loss vs. titan in this instance. If people in your party are continually eating plumes to the point that you need swiftcast to counter their HP loss, your party is not going to beat titan.

I think the point is to be ready to Raise someone if they mess up.

Ideally, no one would mess up. But mistakes happens, people get up, fight goes on. When I've got my Relic I was raised after the heart. Just waited for Gaol and accepted.

Like I said on my previous posts, you only need at least 4 people who knows what they are doing post heart. When I'm healing, I really don't rely on the other healer. At times when the other healer gets knocked off, instead of me losing hope, it will motivate me to play better (maybe use expensive food or expensive meds). It's just satisfying to know that I went above and beyond to get an unexpected win. Sometimes I try to keep that bad player/dodger alive just for less chance of me getting Gaol'd.

I dont even have an FC and im on turn 5 every week, and couldnt care less about the intention of the Devs.

In my experience its quite the opposite: FCs are great for the social aspect of the game, but they are often "too big" to be organized; if you want to get things done a small/medium LS is better and does not force you to leave your current FC.

edit. this is especially true on EU servers where a lot of players are members of a spanish/italian/french/german/whatever FC and not everyone is willing to leave their "national/social" FC to join an "endgame" FC.
Endgame Linkshells are the solution.

FCs, and linkshells, are what you make of them.

FC is still growing. They all have to start somewhere, do they not? We only seem to have 2 or 3 on this server that advertise anything regarding progression. My issue is that I cannot commit to a 2-4 day a week raid schedule, I am undergeared (which many capable FCs will detest) and not all of them are even looking for a whm. The angle you've chosen to play--while logical to a degree--is not the best angle here.

I agree with the whole level Thau up thing. But, at this point, that is not why we are not completing Titan. I will do that soon, but pointing this out to me attempts to place some type of blame on me, and I am not willing to accept that as the primary factor.
