    I've solohealed this on scholar at i65. While people are not wrong in saying that overgearing for the fight is good to get better at it etc., it's not really necessary if your team is good enough at dodging (even then some patching can be done) and if you are willing to get good at your task. Also, swiftcast is not mandatory to soloheal it - I am not downplaying the spell's importance in general; it is a must-have for a serious healer, but should everything go according to the plan - there is no real need for it during the fight. At best, you can land an extra succor during p5 tumults, but if you have done your work with precasting the first succor and then doing another one with Rouse + Whispering dawn ticking (and also having whichever Fey skill happened to be up during that rotation up; Titan's rotation takes just about a minute and the two are on 2m CDs - fey illumination naturally helps you healing people up, whereas fey covenant actually lessens tumult damage, as it is magic-based), things will be fine.

    But yeah, your healing rotations for this fight on a scholar depend a lot on how quick your DPS is. When doing something like sell-runs or other solohealing festivities, the DPS is usually fast enough that lots of Titan's p1-p3 actions get skipped altogether from his rotations, which might kind of ruin your flow with your fairy CDs, Aethering and sacred soil. However, as I am bored and waiting for someone IRL, here's a somewhat elaborate general run-down of the fight:

    p1: Pre-succor everyone before the pull, then succor through the first set of tumults, as well as the 2nd set, should it pop up before titan jumps. Sacred soil the geocrush, can use the other 2 aether stacks on energy drains at this point to make sure you're full MP from the p1 to p2 transitioning succoring, then popping a new Aetherflow. If you want to minmax Eos's CDs, you can use one during p1 so that it won't hinder you at all in further phases.

    p2: After making sure everyone is topped off after geocrush (very low damage from the first two jumps, especially with sacred soil), heal the tank normally (or DPS and manually spam embrace!) until the landslide occurs. After this, place your fairy a few steps behind the tank (eyeing it up so that everyone is in the 15y range) and hit up Rouse + WD in anticipation of the p2 tumults. Succor it up, no real urgency to top off people fast here if they are above about 60%+ hp, as that WD will tick fast and nicely. You can/should also cast Virus on Titan just before the p2 tumults, unless you have a DPS there who has casted his randomly before. Depending on your DPS, Titan might skip the p2 tumults altogether and jump, or then jump immediately after the tumults and plumes. Soil up the jump and p3 calls. During this phase you can also blow energy drains to ensure full MP, if you went succor-happy with the topping off, or if you DPS'd excessively and your fairy couldn't keep up completely, you can lustrate the tank to get rid of the stacks.

    p3: Top people off from the geocrush, heal the tank normally (or DPS while doing so..), pre-succor people when the gaol is spawned (if you are at full or near full MP which you should be), hit up fey covenant and sacred soil for the tumults, spam succor for a bit, energy drain titan/the gaol once or twice, avoid the coming landslide, Leeches it up to cleanse the guy who got jailed, wait til the plumes pop up, dodge them and pre-position yourself to the west/east edge of the map for the coming bulk bombs, so you don't need to move when they spawn and can just heal/DPS during them. Manage your aether stacks as needed and depending on your MP. If your DPS is quick, titan can skip p3 tumults altogether, not to mention the bulk bombs coming thereafter, so if you sacred soiled the tumults, you might not have it up for geocrush that's to come, but it will be fine if everyone is topped off -ish.

    p4/heart phase: as you see Titan jumping up in the air for the p4 transitioning, Rouse + Whispering Dawn it up, have your 1st succor land as titan lands, cast another one, make sure you're at comfortable MP levels but try not to blow too many Aether stacks right now (depending on how many you have left and how many seconds until the next CD is up). Heal the tank normally (and or DPS), until you see the first gaol being destroyed at which point you should sacred soil and get ready to do some succoring. At this point, the tumults add up to quite a lot already and with no WD, you will dip in MP a bit, if you are to top everyone off. Use your remaining stacks (if any left) on energy drains (preferably in cleric's), but make sure you have that Aetherflow CD coming up before p5 begins in full. Remember to Leeches the gaoled guys.

    p5 transitioning/first rotation: pop up Fey Illumination as titan is about to do earthen fury, precast your succor so that it lands as the earthen fury hits you all. Pop up Rouse + Whispering dawn, plant a sacred soil in there so that it protects the tank as well as the DPS behind titan, then cast a second succor just as the MB is about to go out on the tank. Lustrate the tank quickly, then do 2 succors while inside of the sacred soil and while spamming embrace manually on the tank. As you dodge the plumes, you should find out that your DPS are not topped off, but still have 6-10~ seconds of roused and fey'd WD left, so as long as they did dodge the plumes, they will be at comfortable levels by the time the row bombs are going out. Adlo your tank while you are waiting for the row bombs go out, for the MB that is to come. As the MB and the plumes following it are gone, pre-succor your DPS to top them off and to pre-shield them for the next tumults and use your last aether stack on energy draining the gaol that was spawned (assuming you didn't blow the last stack on Lustrate after the 2nd MB). You can also swap into cleric's and have your DoTs up on Titan and then Bane the gaol with your last aether stack, but I wouldn't recommend this at all before you're comfortable with the fight even in your dreams. Apply aetherflow and you'll start the new rotation with 3 stacks and plenty of mana.

    p5 rinse and repeat: titan does 2 auto-attacks after the rotation-ending landslide, so make sure you you sacred soil when he is about to commence these autoattacks, then adlo the tank while popping a fey skill of your choice (alternating between covenant and illumination) so that it goes up while adlo is being cast. After you finish your adlo cast, quickly hit up Rouse + WD whilst inside of the sacred soil with everyone else. At this point the tank will have gotten hit by MB and you will then quickly lustrate him with your 2nd aether stack, while WD will just about start ticking as the tumults begin. When you have lustrated the tank and as Titan is about to start stomping - do a succor, then do another one (no need for swiftcast), dodge the plumes as they come and everyone should still be at comfortable vitality levels, having lots of excessive WD time left to keep them topped off even with the bomb "burying" to come. As usual, adlo the tank before the MB after dodging the bombs - you shouldn't even need to blow your 3rd aether stack on him unless something bad happens. As you see your aetherflow is coming back up from CD and you still likely have your 1 stack left - energy drain the gaol that spawns, or if super comfortable, do the dots + Bane suggestion above. Re-aether to be at 3 stacks for the next rotation.

    Remember to Virus Titan before tumults if applicable (no one hastily used it and no antibody) and use Eye for an Eye off the cooldown. Also remember to cast Leeches on the people with det-down, but if you don't have the time for that at first in p5, that's not a big deal.

    -> Done. Hope this TL;DR helped at all.
