    Tried that fight in DF on my alt, and it went HORRIBLY.
    I used to have a pretty good success rate in DT back in March-May, but now it's filled with......people that make it very hard to clear.

    I'm sorry for your frustration, OP; it took me about three months to both get skilled enough to challenge Titan EX personally and find a group that could do the same.

    The Extreme primals are not content meant to be cleared by everyone. They're a distinctive step up from the main story and 4-man content and a lot more demanding on players in general. The first three EX Primals all test different skillsets - Garuda EX tests your tanks and your DPS' ability to control the direction they're pointed in. Titan EX tests raw reaction time and pattern memorization. Ifrit EX will test your ability to coordinate and awareness of the positions of your allies.


    While many players do consider Titan simple (And they're pretty accurate - the fight itself is mechanically very light), the fact is that he mandates a level of reaction and - more important - memorization that you almost certainly haven't encountered up to this point. Because of how punishing it is on mistakes, and the necessity of a certain minimum of damage dealers surviving, it's also very difficult to clear in Duty Finder, where you really can't count on anyone queued up to be able to hold their own. As a result, many players don't clear Titan EX.

    The important thing to remember is that in no way is Titan Extreme mandatory, and he never will be.

    You either need to improve your reaction time, or get off the PS3.
    I don't even own this game on PS3 or PS4, and I can actually dodge but the timing is so fast, expectually with other people are spread out and not stacked properly, causing those explosive radius to feel up most of the floor and little navigation and bad quickthinking. The moment I see those on the floor is the time that I react on moving the fuck out, but that just 3-4 seconds of reaction time. Same with the landslide... and I see many people with piss poor movement that cannot even dodge. I have this one mage who can't dodge those landslide for shit, all the time in phase 1 and 2 he be the first to die. An Ranger had the same issue, where he contently dying by landslide on phase 1 and 2...

    People get frustrated because they get wiped by instant kills. Not because of lack of skill, but because all bosses have 1 hit kill attacks that makes you instant fail.

    Do you mean enrages? Hitting those is the definition of a lack of skill, because they indicate that the core of your group (the four DPS and the two tanks) are not optimizing their damage sufficiently to kill a boss before the enrage.

    Sadly this is the nature of duty finder group. This game is heavily catered to the casuals, which is very nice, but at the same time, many many many players have very little idea on how to play the roles. They hardly do any dungeons endgame, and not familiar with how the mechanic works on those extreme battles. Casuals with very little experience doing endgame (and not very good or knowledgeable on mechanics) will cause you to wipe over and over and over and over. As others have posted, you may have to start making friends and form a static group here, or you will not go far on harder content in the game.

    Two words: Undersized Party

    Setup an undersized party.. 4 min kills (4man) on all EX primals, 3 mins (6man), under 2 mins (full party)

    You only need 1 tank and 1 healer..

    this is old content. SE added at least 75% echo to that fight and gave people armor that's 50+ ilvl's above the original content. You might be new to the game, but if you still have problems with that fight, maybe you should look for people you can practice with or should look up some guides for it. At the end of the day, nobody runs these trials anymore since they are just plain boring, but reading that you think they are to difficult made me laugh.

    I wouldn't recommend that. There's a chance of still being knocked off. Landslide is one of his easier attacks to avoid imo. It's Weight of the Land that is the killer.

    I don't blame OP's frustration. Went into DF extreme Titan to help people get some wins. There are people at 60 who haven't beat Titan yet.
    I couldn't understand how at first but then we had two just jumping off and then the next df I went into the healers were typing so much they got landslided off every try.
