HM Titan Fight

[Grailer]

got it down to 5% . 3 healers 1 died before heart .

5% and a couple slipped up and wipe .

Lag definitely is an issue .

They could slow down Titans abilities a little to allow for lag .
I mean when have 2.5second Global cool down on abilities but it feels sometimes like Titans abilities are faster than that .

As a tank I got it pretty easy , the healers have a total nightmare time .

Most people here still doesn't understand that in this fight, you have to move BEFORE the attacks start.
You have to start running BEFORE plumes appear, you have to watch out BEFORE Landslide appears, you have to move to the side of the battlefield BEFORE bombs spawn.
No matter how good your connection is, there's 90% probability that you'll get hit by a Weight of the Land if you don't start running BEFORE it starts.
And, you don't really need 3 healers, did it as 1WHM and 1SCH, both under the full DL gear (AK/DL + Garuda weapon) and we went really fine, because we knew that after Landslide there's Mountain Buster. Just use Virus on Titan and Stoneskin con the tank just before Mountain Buster and you'll be fine, if you avoid aoes.
Stop asking to change the fight, it's good exactly the way it is now.
Btw, I'm on a laggy PS3.

Oh really ? Never had to run before it started, and i'm in Europe so I do have lags.
I suppose I have an excellent reaction time then ?

You don't have 1,5 sec lag.
But still you should run before attacks start, just to be sure. If everyone did so, no thread like this would exist.

I do have ping spikes.

But obviously, only lag explain why people keep dying while some other manage to avoid it, everytime.

It is lag indeed. The lag that they have between the moment their eyes see something appear on the screen, their brain processes it and their hands perform the correct action. That is the lag they need to work on.

The server lag is not a problem because, even when it exists, it can be avoided by moving to a safe area BEFORE the event is cast. There are thousands of Titan rotation tables online that anyone could memorize if they cannot rely on their reaction speed or their internet connection.

Yep, this is exactly what I meant before.
Everyone should move before the attack starts to avoid any possible lag problem. If you can avoid everything just moving when the cast starts, good for you.
If you have more than 2 sec lag, you shouldn't do Titan, just try to fix the issue.

Stage 5 needs to be toned down a bit and a gear restriction has to be put in place so people with level 45 gear cant waste everyones time.

I duty finded 3 times for Titan HM yesterday.

First team we won on the first go.
Second team we lost once, then beat it.
Third time we beat it.

I think I got really lucky but the fact is we had 2 DPS alive and 2 Healers until the end (Of course, Tank as well). I've always been able to survive the entire fight without being hit once, but it was nice to have such a streak in which in 2/3 teams I beat it with the Healers were just as competent.

Although I've been in a Titan HM where it's just 2 healers and a Tank and it is HORRIBLE. There's just no point in even trying to fight at that point unless you want to risk resurrecting someone (who will accept right away then be plumed to death).
I agree Healing is the hardest job in it solely because of the amount of people who get hit. This in turn is a problem with the people who do get hit, and I've seen some amazing Melee people who survived without a single hit.
My plea is for DPS to please get better at it because that's always been what the cornerstone for failure is in my groups. They get hit too much so I need to heal them, which means no heals for the tank; or the DPS die and so Titan's HP goes no where.
