    I actually love this fight even more now that theres the Eco buff. Saw a party get to +25% Eco bonus cuz they still got knocked off by landslides. PLD had over 9k HP, and WAR over 11k, most DPS well over 5k, and yet it wasnt enough! Brilliant SE! Keep those baddies where they belong, out of higher tier content! Lol the mechanics of this fight and Eco just made it a nonstop lol wipe fest.

    EDIT: When we finally managed to beat it (2 healers, BLM, SMN left alive in the end) the first thing I said to them all was "Wait until you guys get to Leviathan EX"

    I was in groups before the patch that could do this. As others said, stay on the outside of the innermost circle. Sometimes others make an adjustment and break the healer out first when this happens.

    If your dps is strong enough, Titan will jump before the 2nd set of gaols.

    If you have a ranged dps or two and they are smart enough when that happens, they will be hitting the healer gaol first and the healer will get released relatively soon.

    As a healer you do not need to go to the edge all the time, you should actually estimate where the people will get knocked back to so they can dps the gaol immediately after upheaval anyways.

    I had a farming run that ran Titan EX 3 times, and twice Titan jumped during 2nd set of gaol and we got both out just fine.

    All you can do is to slow down your dps slightly, if you are still having trouble.

    Just commenting to say you don't need ranged dps to do this. Melees can just shoulder tackle/dragonfire dive/spineshatter dive to the healer and break them out just as easily. In fact, Titan is the most melee-friendly extreme primals fight out of them all.

    Levi looks to be an easier fight than Titan is, so I'm not too sure what your point was.

    You have way more space to work with in that fight, people don't rely on the instant-death-if-you-don't-dodge-them plume stacking strategy, and Levi's slams on the boat are very heavily choreographed (watch where it is going with Spinning Dive) to the point where they shouldn't be knocking you into the drink if you're paying any attention.

    I think most people on the forums just have a "l2p noob!" chambered in case they sense anybody even slightly unhappy about any mechanic. Pretty sure several misfired on this thread about someone actually happy about mechanics.

    That is not an issue. Limit break on snakes in Twintania is more of an issue, especially since people have to find ludicrous ways of filling the bar faster (everyone eating body slams) when the dps, damage mitigation, and heals are too good for the intended fight. I've almost given up on finding a group for 2nd Binding Coil because its difficult to get people through that fight so they can do the new content. Mod support would have helped tremendously, too, but SE can't seem to put a leash on their legal team.

    The gaols are doable with high dps as long as people know that the dps is high. The gaols just need to be placed on the edge of the yellow crystal part of the platform. Once done, the fight can be accomplished with relative ease. Just watch out for weight's of the land.

    This is an interesting mechanic I'd like to see more of. DF pts in CT have a similar issue on the bone dragon.
