Truth about Echo

[lxSch]

So I tried Titan HM today for my relic. It just wasn't going to happen. We failed so many times I lost count ( several different parties).

I understand it is "end game" content, but for many people it is just too hard. Combined with lag, it is impossible. This is the content that makes you loose players, and money.

Sure, some people can do it, but you will loose friends because of it. They will just stop playing. I already see the beginnings of our group breaking up because of content like this.

They just want to have fun, and Titan HM isn't.

I did titan HM yesterday with 20% echo, i think now 4 players knowing the fight is enough to pass (much much easier than before). The way i passed is:
- always dodge landslide;
- don't stand in more than 1 bomb, but don't try to dodge them all;
- don't move from less than 2 Weights unless you are a smn/brd who can dps while running.
I think hard content should stay outside of main story, but it's SE decision, not mine.

Regarding the topic, it's weird to see people complaining about lack of skill and learning in the casual-oriented mmo (i remember seeing somewhere producer saying he does not want the game to be grind and smart based). In some other mmos there are walls that need 3 months, 6 months, year to pass, but ffxiv instead makes older content easier so everyone can pass it - that's the direction of the game and expecting everyone to improve is pointless. Also there is no reward for improving and no penalty for not doing so, you cannot blame people for not doing something that is pointless.

this is the worst advice ive ever seen for titan hardmode aside from the not getting hit by landslides part pretty much every bit of it is wrong.

- never get hit by bombs, not even 1, the phases that come after bombs will kill you if you arent at full or near full hp, so getting hit by even one bomb puts unnecessary strain on your healers, one bomb can very easily kill an undergeared or low hp person

- always dodge plumes, even one. again for the reason listed above, taking avoidable damage will get you killed by unavoidable damage. i dont care who you are, healer blm smn or brd, get your ass out of the plume the second it appears. DO NOT FINISH CASTING, surviving is more important than your dps

If you try to understand what i wrote in my post you would notice i passed titan this way.
My advice is for laggers, you obviously are not one, why did you bother posting? You don't even understand the reason behind intentionally getting hit by one bomb/plume because you never lagged there.
Also you obviously haven't done titan in 2.2, again why did you post this? There are no longer phyl tomes, no more limit on myth and they are easy to farm through expert roulette, add there +50% hp/damage/healing buff from echo. If you no longer play the game at least don't teach people the old stuff.

What???? Old stuff? What old stuff? This whole game is still cosidered new by many people. Just a few days ago, people were still posting that this game is new . . . give it time.

That advice is shameful.

Old stuff like saying:

- never get hit by bombs, not even 1, the phases that come after bombs will kill you if you arent at full or near full hp, so getting hit by even one bomb puts unnecessary strain on your healers, one bomb can very easily kill an undergeared or low hp person

Because with echo people will have 5-6k hp (tankers 10k+) and as much damage/healing.

- always dodge plumes, even one. again for the reason listed above, taking avoidable damage will get you killed by unavoidable damage.

Because again it won't kill anyone.
The only thing that can kill people at titan now is the landslide.
If you haven't passed titan yet - can try this way.
