Safe and Easier PT set up to win Titan (hard mode)

[Alise]

I ran this PT set up on last Monday with a shout party. They didn't believe in each other skill since it is a shout party with people they never met before so one who gather the PT purposed a 3-healer + 1 sub-tank method to fight the titan. It is not a new strategy, I know, because I heard it since long ago but never tried it until this, so I want to share to those who still can't win in this fight, or want to farm his weapon in more warrant way.

With the bard who is first time toward this battle, we explained and gave a test run to teach him first, after that we ran this for another 4 times, and we won 3/4(only accidentally wipe another one), which is quite a good result imo.

The fight took 17 min, which is longer than a run with full DPS, but It is totally acceptable to me to trade little time over the safety of the fight.

little additional trick :

-With no enough DPS, (we even have 1 warrior in this pt other than extra healer), we take little time to build up limit break first in the video. (only need LB level 2 though in the video, and it is enough to shatter his heart)

-Despite the PT set up with 1 extra tank warrior to replace the main tank in case that he fail (since they are random set up), I don't think it is quite need in this strategy though.

-For those who lag, as soon as you dodge, you should do some action such as using skill or spell to register your new position to the server. (you may cancel that action later)

-In the video one of the healer die at latter phase, and usually most party would wipe in the case like this, but it is not the case in this PT, we can still revive and do enough heal.

I can understand the 3 healers, but an offtank? Granted I didn't watch the entire video (17 minutes is a bit much of a fight I've done way too many times), I really can't see the tank dying with that amount of hps coming through.

Also, 11 stomps :|

as I wrote in the video comment. I don't think off-tank is a needed there. It is just.. you know, I think that the PT leader just want to be "as safe as possible" because he is playing with all the random here, and also a "first timer" bard.

it is like a set up where everything back up each other.

if any of whm die, there will be enough chance to raise it. one of the run we had a whm died and we raise it in time.
if any of the dps get hit, usually extra healer can save their life.
if the tank die (despite he never die), then off tank can be a place holder temporary.

Not saying it is best here, if I were the PT leader, I probably ignore off-tank too. but that was how the PT leader at that time decided, since he play with all the random faces.

THAT is very good info!! Thank you ! Also I would feel bad about doing it this way, your leaving dps out of the fight, and they need it too.

I noticed you're rocking 4k hp on whm, how did you go about getting it that high? I'm going to assume mostly full DL, (with accessories using some vit materia III) and an abnormal amount of vit attributes instead of mnd?

What is the secret for building up the limit break? I saw many videos of groups which had limit 2 before bomb-phase. When we tried we just had about 1/2 level lb...
We tried auto-attack, DoT and everything... I don't get it...
