Titan has a very minimal gear check to it... I don't know what you are talking about here. People have blown this fight way out of proportion by saying you must be full DL or whatever, but that is simply not true. In fact it should be even easier to get "carried" in this place since others in your group likely have better gear anyway. But to be clear, skill is a huge part of this fight over gear.

For example, I have run with MANY Bards who just lack the proper understanding to do their rotation correctly, so you see relatively decent geared bards pulling 90 dps... there is no reason what so ever that if you have enough gear to survive the hits (IE comfortably into 3k health) that you shouldn't be able to hit 130 or more DPS. That fight should favor that class even more so since they are not impacted by movement. Coming from a BLM standpoint, it makes me very sad when I am constantly the top DPS on that fight (unless we have our DRG in there, he pulls really good DPS too).

Anyway, that fight at best requires full AK greens. But I would say even that is a stretch. You could prob get away with 1 or 2 DL and AK greens on your main slots, and whatever for your accessories. The biggest thing is getting a decent weapon, if you lack that, you will need to further make up for that in other slots.

And lag? what lag? if you have lag, then you are going to have trouble playing any MMO... Unless you are talking about the built in 300ms in the game, and if you have not gotten used to this yet, and you made it all the way to 50, then I don't know what to tell you.

You want a "casual game" then suggest that titan is "easy" because you just have to memorize the rotation and you want it harder? I am confused.

For the record I HATE RNG fights, and if you like RNG fights, go talk to the people trying to do Twintana, that is an RNG fight that everyone seems to be losing right now. Moving out of the stupid is the most basic MMO mechanic... they just give you a lot of stupid to move out of. I am fine with this.
