Titan Extreme is NOT Fun

[Noahlimits]

Noah, can you do a healer guide for Titan Ex, pretty please.

I can't tell if this comment is rich with sarcasm, but I'll humor you on what our farm always does for 1-shots: Have a QB.

The QB will do the following on a VOIP:

-Say what the next attack in the rotation will be. Example: "Double plumes are next"
-Where and when to stack. Example: "Everyone stack on me at 6'oclock" or "Stay at 6 to bait the landslide" or "Super bomb, stack at 1'oclock and prepare to move left for plumes".

They should also call people out "___ you need to stack tighter".

If everyone is dodging everything the fight is really really easy on healers. I only know it from a white mage POV, but cure III when we're stacked during stomps (followed by a medica II if needed) and a medica II after gaol's are broken keeps the party safe the entire time. Otherwise, it's just focusing on the main tank.

This please. I've been with pretty decent pugs in Party Finder, but most healers + tanks have difficulty due to the damage spike during the adds phase. Titan gets a damage buff thanks to the adds right? Does your tank use any CDs at all?

The tank will usually do a sentinel if PLD. Warriors usually don't even need to pop anything. Pre emptive cure I's and II's (since you KNOW when mb is coming that phase) makes keeping the tank up really easy if he isn't being one shot due to how many debuffs he has. Try to time tank swapping so you'll have as little debuffs from the boss on the tank as possible.

Err no sarcasm involved. I just really want all and any advise. If I cannot control how 7 other people in my party play. I will definitely want to ensure that I play Titan at the highest level of gameplay I can possibly do.

If a QB is not possible due to playing with pugs. What else is involved. From what I read, I know now to stand at 6' oclock bomb at add area. So where does the rest of dps stand? Where are the adds pulled too? During super bomb, which is the best bomb that healer stand and dps kill? Also during this super bomb dps period, how to not get weight of land spawn where dps is still killing bomb? Or will it definitely spawn there and dps have to work around it? So many questions ...

I think Noah has been poisoned by the negativity in this forum already. Jokes aside, I've managed to know some party finder people who know how to dodge but have no idea how to heal through the adds phase. That's very helpful, I can probably make a macro or something to alert MBs.

With SoS I've never even gotten close to stealing hate from the main tank when healing. This includes preemptively casting cures in anticipation of MB. You should never have a problem with MP in this fight as long as people aren't dying. And even then, with two healers you should be okay. Just try not to medica II before or immediately after the adds spawn if you don't have SoS as you can cause a wipe on the raid if the OT can't re-establish hate.

Another tip: When the platform is still pretty large, never go past the yellow inner circle when you're being gaol'd. If the DPS gets titan to his next phase while this is happening, you have a chance of just falling off the cliff if you went beyond the yellow! Always aim for the bottom of the yellow center.

Oh, and divine sealing for the cure III's is amazing during stomp and after jump (preemptively cast it, of course).
