Stuck on Quest: Acht-la Ormh Inn

[Stepjam]

I had the scaevan gear, which you can currently buy with poetics rather easily now.
And if you had 395 gear, thats a 5 ilvl difference which is not that big in the scheme of things.

Also I want to add that Titania is not comparable to Ex and Savage content. It really isn't. All it has is a dps check that requires players to know their rotations and not be asleep at the wheel. Not too much to ask for 3 expansions in.

I'm sorry if you had that many disconnects and failed parties, that really sounds like bad luck. But there's nothing wrong with the fight itself.

Most over-tuned trial in the game. Now that most of the advanced players have moved on from MSQ, it's almost impossible to complete. Wipe after wipe after wipe after wipe after wipe. Hours spent queuing. Repeated soul crushing disappointment. I've actually given up on it and will leave my MSQ on my alt Kungpao Kitty never to be completed. Got lucky with Kitty Punch, but if this was the first time going through it, I'd probably just let my sub go and move on to some other game.

I don't think that Titania needs adjustments - I just think that the skip-potion-community finally realizes that mechanics are something you should start to do.

I've encountered melee DPS in Inno EX (meaning they beat Titania NM) that don't use DoTs. Carries will always be a thing. The content doesn't make players better and only shifts the burden onto others.

Maybe so, but does that mean that all normal content should be absolute faceroll? Even if Ex and Savage are where things get serious, I do like story mode content to not be totally braindead.

Can you point me to a single post in this thread asking for a face-roll because at this point you are trolling?

I get that you're frustrated because you had really bad luck and it cost you a weekend but Titania isn't overtuned.
Most of the mechanics are self-explanatory: you see an aoe marker, you get your butt out of there. You see various circles appear, you stand in the last one spawning and move to the safe zone as soon as the first blew up, which everyone has already seen during the Shiva and Tsukuyomi trial. The one with the stack up marker should stand in a puddle but even if that fails, decent healers can heal through such a fail because it's not a wipe. It's a ton of unneccessary damage but managable.
The only thing that needs to be done correctly is that everyone switches to whacking the adds the moment they spawn and that can be softened by using LB on them.
When I did it for story progression dps was definitely on the low side and we had a lot of people failing at the aoes so both my co healer and I spent the majority of our time healing with barely time to dps but we passed the dps check.
All Titania requires is for 8 people to not be semi-afk. There only 3 things aside from the usualy dodging people need to do: stand in the puddle with the marker, switch to adds asap, move to the safe zone during frost rune.
You can even eat one hit from the frost rune and survive (unless you've already been really low), it's just running around like a headless chicken that gets you killed.
I'm not saying it's faceroll-level: MSQ Ifrit. But it IS perfectly doable for a full group of 73s with level-appropriate gear and without relying on healer dps.

The correct way to do this so the least amount of damage is taken is to have everyone but the main tank stand in the last circle to spawn just outside of the inner circle. Once the inner circle goes off, the entire stack moves forward into the inner circle a couple steps to soak the stack together while taking no damage at all from the circles. If the main tank stacks with the party during this it is very possible they'll cleave the stack with the boss's frontal cone attack so they'll need to pick a different circle other than the one the party is gathering in.

Huh?
I think you got it wrong... What you quoted was the the flame run/ water puddle mechanic where you stack up in a puddle.
The frost rune, which you were talking about is a different mechanic. That's the Shiva/ Tsukuyomibstyle mechanic I mentioned.
So...not really sure what was wrong with what I said. I think you just got me wrong? Not sure though.

You put those two mechanics in the same line so it sounded like you were saying that the person with the yellow stack marker that goes off during the frost rune attack should soak up one of the frost rune circles. I can see now you meant those to be separate lines like you separated the rest of your post.
