HM Titan Fight

[Midori_Nabooru]

Don't know if this was addressed already, but I'm on a PS3. I'm getting ready to take on Titan for my relic. Has any other PS3 players noticed a huge lag problem during this fight? I want to be prepared. I've had lag issues in other instances so this concerns me going into this. I've been watching videos but all have been PC players. Also, I noticed they play in the normal view and I am playing in Legacy view, would it be wise to change or stick to what I know? TIA

Midori,

My biggest suggestion would be to memorize the rotation. If you know what ability is coming next then you can predict the ability. If it's a dodging mechanic just be ready to move early. For bombs, most of them give you plenty of time to move.

If you are waiting until the animation appears then chances are its already too late to move out of it.

I currently play in legacy view as well. Classic view just annoys me. It doesn't make much difference i would think as long as you can move quickly.

I've heard that wireless PS3 can have latency issues, but hard wiring your connection fixes that.

This is my problem. I'm geared, know the mechanics and the fight. I do cast constantly and cancel appropriately. I run instantly. I don't sprint/jump in the AE, and I try to cast instantly when leaving the AE.

I still get knocked off most of the time. My latency is < 200ms.

At this point, I'm blocked, there's no amount of prep or gear to get around this that I can see.

Anyone have a solution for this? Running constantly doesn't work for heals...

My friend is on PS3 and he had no problems getting out of stuff. He got his relic.

I've heard that wireless PS3 can have latency issues, but hard wiring your connection fixes that.

You're gonna have those latency issues regardless of it's wired or wireless. I have 3MB/s (24 mbit/s) internet and there's been cases where my friend had no latency problems and I had serious problems.

The only solution at this point is to memorize the rotation (it's posted all over the internet) and put Sprint on your bar. You need to pre-cast Sprint before the ability comes out. If you have the rotation memorized, it should be easy to do.

While it's all totally possible on the PS3, there are additional problems that you may have to consider; 1. wireless, if on older wireless tech, CAN cause additional latency on top of your base latency, 2. most modern TVs have some fairly substantial input lag, bloating the problem further.

Again, totally doable, but you just gotta compensate for these if they are the case.

i personally love the fight and this his move set is fine just the issue is some of the damage her does can overwhelm people who can get frustrate d easily and his Hp just drops so slow after fury of the earth/earthen fury so i think if anything just drop his hp a tiny bit and it should be fine

Ifrit and Garuda seem like a walk in the park if you go back to them after 3 failed weeks of attempting Titan, it's beyond a joke.

It's alright for some people to say "learn the rotation, bla bla bla" but when you're in a fight that's so unforgiving as Titan HM with 8 players and when 1 of many things happen such as;

- Healer either gets knocked off in any Phase or dies in Phase 5, wipe.

- Tank dies from MB's and an onslaught of Tumults that the Healers can't keep up with at around 20%, wipe.

- In a party with 3 Healers and 4 DPS and 1 of the DPS either dies or gets trapped in a Gaol during the Heart Phase and you don't have enough DPS to kill the Heart, wipe.

- When a couple of players get lag spikes during AoE's and they get 1-hit KO'd/knocked off during the later Phases, wipe.


Seriously, f**k Titan HM, it's distressing, depressing, emotionally draining and generally a massive waste of time compared to the other 2 Primals.

People shouldn't really die to landslides though, it's a sign of bad play. The tank takes as much damage as the raid during tumults so if the tank dies then the raid dies too. I'm not a fan of the 3 healer setup since it feels overkill for most of the fight, not to mention you'll have problems when a dps gets Gaol.

If you have people lagging during plumes just have him stand outside the raid and eat his plume, He'll live and can just be healed up.

One other change that I think should be made. For Duty Finder, change the raid composition to 1 Tank, 2 Healers, 5 DPS. I think that would actually increase Duty Finder success since one the big problems is a DPS issue (especially with the Heart phase).
