HM Titan Fight

[tyniwins]

Having fought Titan with 2 Healers and 5 DPS and 3 Healers and 4 DPS, I think 2 healing is the way to go.

One of the biggest problems with DF groups is the Heart phase. Even getting a good group (and by that I mean people who can dodge stuff), being limited to 4 DPS due to DF, the damage is already gimped making Heart a lot harder than for a premade group. Having an extra healer also, mentally, makes people play worse. They get the idea that not dodging stuff isn't as important since they'll just get healed up anyway. Or at least that's my thinking.

I've ran with three healers before and while I haven't beat it having one of the three healers, if they are a Conj, cleric stance until after the heart helps significantly. Not saying tis ideal but having a third healer after the heart helps significantly. Especially with tumults. Lag and weights have always been the bane of all my parties once in p5.

That's why they call it "HARD MODE" Titan.

Please don't nerf this fight, SE

Would be so much easier if there was less lag or his skills took into account lag.

I am in Singapore and have a 180 latency. In most games that is epic smooth. But not in FF14.

In FF14, 180 latency in Titan means that I have to run as soon as I see the plumes. Else I die. I cannot even wait 1 seconds, else I die, even if my screen says I ran out of the plumes.

It also means that I always have problems with the bomb rotation after heart 1 which spawns in 3 straight lines. I can follow my group as they run, be in front of them, yet die while they all take no damage. WTFreak is up which that. It is like playing the lottery... for me.

In Titan, you just need to be a sec slow and you die. Thanks to lag, for me, it is that simple. Small wonder I hate it. HATE IT WITH A VENGEANCE! It also makes me start to rage at the people I play with. That is in no way a social bonding experience. My FC partly from Singapore, and many times, someone will die thanks to some freaking lag spike, some mistake, or just something.

They seriously need to compensate for lag. And I will say it again, need for extreme memorization != skill. And Titan is a straight out memory fight with no redundancy for lag build in.

I'm also from Singapore and I have zero problems dodging everything in Titan as melee dps. I don't play casters so I can't say much for them but my friend with 350ms could solo heal Titan.

good for him / her then

cause i'm miles away from landslide, i get hit
I'm not near the plume after a pre move, i get hit
I moved away from the bombs half a screen away I get hit

lags kills me..not some rotation from memory

I know what you're talking about, i had the same problem (something like being repelled by Demon Wall 5 seconds after the others XD)
I managed to fix that by disconnecting everything but the PS3 (or PC if you are on PC) from the wireless modem and let the internet connection focus only on FFXIV.
Now I have 1/2, 1 second lag, and a relic

Indeed. Many people are quick to push the blame to SE, not possible to be on their end at all. Bunch of armchair net admins out there. One example. I've played on a 1.5Mb/s connection. If no one is using it, no issues at all. However, obviously, if someone downloads at the max it screws with me right? Well when I capped them at half the speed, it still screws with me when it starts, so if they're web surfing alot, the connection spikes up alot, messing with the latency for me. But if it's a static download using half, no issues once it sits there stable at half the connection, only when it starts. And there are many more things that could cause the issue as well, but people always dismiss and blame SE anyways.

this fight is way too much impacted by the lag, they need to do something.
people say memorize the fight, is part of it, but that don't change the fact that lag is making this fight a pain... why do you think soo much people fail to do it.

this fight need to be rethink for be less impacted by the lag or it will become a trouble later.
