    Best of: Titan's pugs

    Ok guys, i have been running titan's pugs (hard mode) for a couple of dozens of hours now, and i got to see some pretty amazing stuff, things i would not have believed to be possible before. I bet you have your share of stories to tell, so let use this thread to record the cream of the crop.

    My top 3 would be:

    -The guy that ran from bombs past me, the tank, who was standing on the very edge of the arena. Cartoon style. No landslide involved, just regular jump off the cliff.

    -The guy that ate 3 landslide in a single fight. not successive fights, mind you. He survived the two first by having ltos of room behind him. Third one killed him.

    -The three healers that left me (tank), on the second mountain buster, at 800 hp. Popped rampart well ahead of time, waiting for some heal. None coming, i popped sentinel. Nothing still, and i died a gruesome death. All three healers were alive and with plentiful mp.

    I had an interesting experience just now. Out in Thanalan, mining away i get a Pm - not an FC message or linkshell broadcast, a direct to me, private message, asking if I wanted to go heal titan... well damn straight I do! - This'd be my second Titan run and I want to get the fight down, particularly phase 5. Half a dozen wipes later, the leader (who invited me) in raging away:

    Leader: "omg, don't you know phase 5"
    Me: "I've watched and read the guides, sure - first time hands on"
    Lackey: "Great, so you're just here to be carried, fucking casuals"
    Leader: "Why do people sign up when they've never been to phase 5"
    Lackey: "Didn't you see the sign in the shout saying exp players only, fuck off"
    Me: "Wait, what? - I was invited directly, I didn't answer any shouts"
    <Lackey has left the trial>
    Me: "Wait, what? - I was invited directly, I didn't answer any shouts"
    <The person you are trying to contact has blacklisted you>


    I'm sure there's a lesson in here somewhere... but I'm not sure it's me who's in need of learning it.


    tl;dr: Got a blind invite to a party, then kicked out and blisted because they didn't check if i met their own requirements.

    I just got my kill after about 30 attempts. Sad to say that I don't have any real stories of foolishness, but I'll tell you this: There very almost nothing like the feel of earning that kill for the first time.

    You see, you need to kill titan in order to enter Titan. Hardcores know that it's a bug that people can enter without having previously killed it.

    What's funny about asking for a previous kill is that the fight is very different from different perspectives: What if I killed titan as a Close range DPS and now seek the kill as a healer, and it is my first time with this role in the fight? Am I gonna be more experienced than an healer on his 30th try with no previous kill?

    As a DPS, in expample, Tumults are relaxing times, cause nothing you can/must do; on the other hand as a healer I am sure they are oh shit times.


    really stupid attitude.

    Read it again. :P Believe he's being facetious. Hence the 'hardcores know it's a bug that people can enter without having previously killed it'.

    The fight is very much the same for all roles, except for tank. It's all the same avoidance rotation with class specific skill rotation.

    I don't know, healer actually has to anticipate tumult (by not anticipating at all and memorizing his pattern) and heal a bit ahead of time. That's probably the hardest thing in the whole fight. DPS can just fire away and walk around while standing in tumult like a bunch of knobs. There's a reason post heart that 4 people can take him down, it's cause everyone else but the healer and tank are worthless.
