    Anyone tried to just spread out in titan ex and heal through the plumes?

    I don't think having everybody spread out and eat a single plume and drop a medica 2 or so to heal them back a bad idea... at least from the number I am seeing, it's perfectly doable without taxing much on mana, and it saves the gamble from relying perfect performance from everybody in each attempt.
    just wondering if any group has actually tried it this way

    Just eat 2? xD

    the thing is, when I pug it with PF, no matter how high the ilvl is set, or iffy check or whatever, the group can still fail easily due to 1~2 person performing badly for whatever reason
    so much so that many fail group will have everyone on 4k+hp which probably allows eating 2 plumes in a row...

    was just thinking whether it'd be a proper strategy

    No wonder you fail at Titan Ex. Have you even heal that fight? If not don't say mana is not taxing. What is next eat a bomb too?

    I love the official forums, they tell you to use the search for thread about what you wanted to talk but when you use it they judge for necro a thread.

    Eat it all, let the healer do his work NOT

    2 Plumes can hit for 5k, too much for most nontanks.

    Actually that cross my mind not far back, spread and take 1 plum is easily heal and keep up with 2 healers and eating bomb isn't as bad as you think, you can eat super bomb if you time it right with cure 3 (as bomb goes off and just before titan land again, you have about 1-2 sec).

    The problem will be plum interrupt your cast so you not really gaining, I tried timing cure 3 on superbomb a few time and it is not too bad, you can probably use swiftcast and bypass the timing.
    The truth is dodging is probably easier....

    It won't work. Further in the fight there won't be enough room to spread and hit only 1 plume, and the double plume is not two plumes overlapping, it is plumes, and then plumes again. You won't make it through this way.

    The best tactic is to pack (really pack, don't to try to be sneaky and stay a bit on the side or to start before everyone else it might works for *you* but you'll kill ppl in the process) and dodge left or right. At least you all stay in the same column and dodge left/right.

    You can even eat double plumes with warding potions.

    Noone should make anyone else's job harder than it needs to be. If it's avoidable, dodge it. I still dodge bombs as titan tank even though it's easier to just sit there and eat one.
