    I was under the impression that most people fail DF Titan HM because of a lack of patience.

    In the many times I did Titan HM just to try and learn the mechanics, I got the distinct feeling that most people went into DF Titan expecting to get an awesome group and get carried through it. Get wiped once or twice and people start dropping, unwilling to reassess the situation and try to make things work.

    This and so much more. I have lost count as to the amount of groups that have simply just...given up. Doesn't matter how close they get, one and done for most it seems. Patience is a virtue that many simply don't possess. Some even leave before the fight even starts claiming the party isn't geared enough...which is unfortunately something I have to admit is true at least half of the time.

    Let's be real here - Titan is all about memorization of the patterns/moves, it's not really any form of "skill" unless you consider memorization a skill here.

    Main keys to winning Titan aside from the DPS check during heart phase is just knowing when these 2 moves occur post-heart and where to go:

    1) Stacked plumes
    2) bomb-pattern followed by landslide

    If you completely randomized the order of the moves post-heart and the moves did not come at any specific "rhythm" timing, you would see a lot more people not being able to beat Titan yet. With the 0.3 second server position updating along with any latency you might have on your end - good luck if the fight were designed this way instead of the predictable pattern it is now.

    It's a skill.

    Titan guards the gate to endgame, and in that sense the fight is everything is should be. A skill/gear check.

    Unfortunately you can't stop people from buying their relics and missing out on some valuable weeks of banging their head against the wall and actually getting better. Reality hits when they find out Coil runs aren't for sale.
