Fists of win(d)?

[Aicasia]

I wouldn't say wind is completely useless though, I have not stepped into coil yet, but I know when I'm doing Titan-HM's I switch between all 3 flavors of fist.

1. Fire - I use this 99% of the time pre p5, and through all of heart of course.
2. Earth - I use this during tremor, help the healers out
3. Wind - I use this in P5, helps ensure I take absolutely no damage from anything avoidable. Gets me out of plumes faster, away from bombs quicker, and attacked the boss sooner helping to make sure I don't lose GL stacks.

In the time it takes for Fists of Wind to take effect and provide a meaningful increase in distance moved you would be well out of anything Titan throws at you. It's pointless to activate it on the fly - it's something you either use ahead of time knowing you'll need to move a fair distance, or you don't use at all.

In P5, I am in Fists of Wind the entire time minus tremor, which I turn Earth on for - I do not turn Wind on "on the fly" - I don't turn any of them on "on the fly". It's a matter of knowing the fight, the rotation, and when the different fists are going to be best utilized.

That's fine. I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just making a statement about Fists of Wind. FoE doesn't actually make it easier on the healers, it just makes it easier on you. He's going to do AoE damage regardless (since no one should be getting hit by single target except the tank) so they aren't just healing you. Its more about how much you trust them and your HP pool. Titan is all about being comfortable though so it's not like there is a wrong choice when it comes to fists of earth.

I don't personally agree with using FoW for the entirety of P5, there is no real need, but its a valid strategy and I wouldn't tell someone not to do it if it makes them feel more comfortable. Hell, I'd recommend mnks new to the fight do it your way. It's an entirely valid way to do the fight.
