    For all the "solo heal" encounters it's mostly DD that should not get hit. It's perfectly doable. Like Garuda for example. DD never gets hit in theory. Titan EX: stomps and maybe upheavel would be a bit of a pain for SCH. Other than that, there should be no dmg on DD..

    So basically high exp groups can have some fun and do the 1 healer, 1 extra dps trick.

    There's not much point even in titan for 1 healer except bragging rights, unlike garuda-ex. Because you really don't save that much time with that 1 extra dps. Making titan jump at the wrong time is extremely unforgiving, and each phase is done such that most of the fight is gone by the time you want another dps (after adds).

    The only reason to have an extra dps in titan is to push the phases for 1 tank stack (which really doesn't make titan any easier, and limiting, as you must have a pld) and to skip superbombs (which is pointless since super bombs is easy, if no one is dying anyway which no one should in 1healer situations).

    And ifrit ex, forget about it, pointless to have an extra dps there because he'll just wipe the PT.

    For titan/ifrit, you must have all dps with mantra, to rotate. It's a must, which makes it even more limiting situations. So really it's less the healer being good and more the rest of the team being good. Even whm single healer (a lot easier then sch single heal) requires 2-3 mantras on rotation.

    Titan stomps do not make it hard on the sch. You have enough time to top it off. It's the phase changes. Basically having a dps go wild will wipe the PT.

    Jump at stomps = wipe
    Jump at jail = wipe (unlike titan HM, gaols do not break at jump)
    Jump at weight = sometimes wipe

    There's just no good reason to bring in another dps for titan because most of the fight you have to hold back simply because it's too dangerous to break the script.
