In such cases, I always check the "damage logs". There ´s no possible denying after that.

Garuderp

Had something like this recently in DF - however, it was a miracle, rather than the expected wipe like you had.

Someone killed the spiny WAY too early. It's shield booped and we knew we were done for. Luckily, one of the tanks used the tank LB and we managed to survive to continue.
You would think, after that + a load of "OMG", "Don't touch Spiny!", "GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD!" and "Who did that??" after Spiny went down, that the message would have gotten across. Nope.
It happened AGAIN at the second plume ADDs phase, and spiny hit the floor prematurely.
No tank LB, BUT the DPS was high and we managed to slap the snot out of her fast enough that we downed her right before her next jump/our deaths. Yeah, I don't even...

Oddly enough, it wasn't touched during the sisters/whirlwinds phase, so I'm inclined to say this was on purpose - or lucky that the offender was too pre-occupied.

Eleven and a half minute Titan HM with the only two people left standing at the end was myself (SCH) and a BLM. One DPS and the OT landslide'd off the edge by P3 and a second DPS knocked off in P5. New SMN kept dying to mechanics. Barely ecked out Heart kill and then the WHM died about three times during the course of P5 - probably on tilt after the first death because he was making some horrible movement mistakes despite playing the first 8 minutes rather flawlessly. BLM / WHM kept getting Goal'd, which allowed me free reign to break them out via SCH DPS. I will admit I fudged up on the 2nd last Mountain Buster and made a bad play as I raised the WHM and not protected the PLD in time.

Funny though, I dodged the final Mountain Buster at 1% before we killed Titan.

All this talk of Garuda and Titan EX makes me think I should just queue up for them and get it over with lol. I'm always worried that I might be a weak link because I've never done the fight before, though I do a bunch of research before hand and I try to focus as much as possible on only the things I need to do (hold back on DPS in favour of focusing more on healing and dodging). I'm just worried people will be mean since I'm new to the fight. (Sorry, no horror story. xP)

Garuda EX is actually super easy once you know what to expect (Only the people are are the unknown/chaotic element to that fight). Just remember to stay in the center for the first phase, make a break for the rock in front of you when she jumps (I like to sit right in the corner created by the rock and the wind wall.... just don't touch the wind wall). First phase with rocks you can HOly your heart out if you want - no Spiny; only Satin ^^

When you do hit the Spiny portion, don't jump in right away after the spiny breaks (I see this happen a lot with new people, regardless that they've seen a vid - just jumping the gun out of nervousness/apprehension, I guess) and when Garuda goes to do her attack while you're int he barrier, precast Medica like in Titan HM when you anticipate his landing. It'll heal people up so you can make a mad dash for the side of the room (if your group marks, it's usually Point A on the leftish side, to be considered the 'Ranged Safe place'). It helps you avoid the falling feathers that come straight after. If you get hit by them, then no biggie, just have to Esuna off her DoT.

From the safe range point, you'll be able to heal both tanks (you may have to move up into the corner of the safe crevice if you need to reach one or the other). Don't bother trying to cross the windtunnels unless you have to, they're a hassle to time (for me, anyway). z_z When she jumps again after the sisters are beaten, the churning winds will dissipate and let you head towards Spiny... then it's just rinse and repeat

She's super easy. I was half asleep though a good chunk of the times I queued up for her if it's any indication of her ease. xD; Just need a party who won't stand in everything or continously kill spiny x.x

Good luck!

I'm the same way! I get really nervous that I'll hold the whole party back and they'll be mean when I mess up (Yea, I know I have a really thin skin lol, I can't help it!). I fell behind when the Ex Primals first came out, and I haven't been able to catch up. I did do Garuda Ex a long time ago though, and decided to try it again this past weekend to hopefully get a pony. It was really easy, and even though I didn't remember what to expect, I didn't die. If you do wipe in there, it probably won't be your fault lol. So get in there and do it!

Titan Ex though, I hate it! I feel like I could do it if I had a ton of practice...I just don't want to waste people's time, and I assume making a learning party would be a waste of time.

Oh, umm horror story...Lots of tanks lately pulling a ton of stuff and taking so much damage, I can't really dps...Oh and they're always almost dead by the time they stop pulling, even with EfaE, Adlo, and SS. I normally play SCH, but I'd like to play WHM more, I just don't think I could handle that much damage that fast. If anyone has any tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

Do you mean healing big pulls on SCH, or on WHM? I can't really help with advice on SCH, being I'm rather novice/uncomfy at SCH. x.x;;

As WHM, the high cure IIs make it easier to heal through big pulls. If you're fearful of the size of a pull, wait till you recognize that the tank is about to stop (preferable if you can identify when a few seconds before the tank stops pulling) and hit Divine Seal. This will boost your healing output by quite a bit. Heal that sucker till they're topped off and watch the amount of damage the tank is taking. If you feel they'll survive a rotation-length of time, slap em with a Regen and continue healing until they seem to hold their own. You can probably get away with Cure (rather than Cure II) in that case (with Divine Seal) - just depends on how much damage they're taking. With a divined Regen, it should help tons! (think of it as constantly ticking cure Is).
On top of that, if Divine Seal is on CD and shit is still hitting the fans, a Bene will come to the rescue ^^ Just try to use it before they're too low or it won't save anything ._. (because of the slight animation delay)

EX primals are really not hard especially now with echo even a bad group can steamroll it if people don't heavy derp. The good thing about these fights and pretty much every single fight in FFXIV that is a raid they are 100% consistant. There are some tiny RNG elements like what those damn Moogles do in Mog EX and when Shiva freezes the floor etc but you can pretty much know what is coming next all the time. Garuda is super simple to heal. Stand in middle DPS for first 10% hide behind rocks for attack go back to middle holy down plumes starting with satin plume. Takes like 2-3 to get them all shroud after. Then she summons her sisters OT takes green one hopefully put divine seal regen on both tanks and virus on garuda or red add if it hasn't already been done to protect the MT. DPS green add then red one wail on Garuda some more she will go to middle and do her ultimate.

Puple tornado forms stand in middle DO NOT TOUCH THE SPINY PLUME. I like to divine seal medica II everyone and regen both Tanks the spiny will be provoked so you should get aggro from all over plumes drag them to the other side of the tornado from spiny and holy them down. She vanishes to do her ultimate again spiny plume is killed watch out for her falling feathers and the spiny explosion. Get in the shield the explosion makes and wait for her to finish her ultimate. She will summon tornados around the floor and her sisters again and the MT and OT go to different areas Healers and ranged have their own spot which is roughly behind the bottom left pillar at the start of the fight it won't be there but if you have that spot in your memory you'll be okay. Sisters are burned down ignore spiny it's killed when Garuda vanishes run and get in the shield after her ultimate back to middle for purple tornado and it just repeats over again til she dies.

That's the fight every single time nothing ever changes.

Chrysalis is horrible when tanks fight for aggro all the time. No freaking debuffs on the tanks, why tank swap on Triple Spark? Bleh.

A brilliant way to do the first trial roulette ever. Guess I'll have to heal Titan HM on the next spin x.x

For now

Please look forward to it!
