Tips on how to beat Titan HM with DF

[Grailer]

Spam DF till you get group where everyone has the following requirements:


1. Full Darklight gear or equivalent.
2. Gurada weapon or better.
3. Good connection
4. Know the fight ( watched videos etc etc been to at least phase 5 and beyond )
5. Paladin MT , Warrior OT preferred for more dps .

Pretty simple really , but good luck trying to find that group .

^Indeed, "good luck".

This is actually pretty accurate.

DF for titan really sucks and is much better to run with premade grp or your FC. If you are DFing titan you basically wanna queue until you get the "magical pug".

Yes of course ppl have done him in bikini's however you are forgetting while they lose chest piece they are using relic +1 weps, using voice communication, have successfully done the fight many times, and the rest of their gear is most likely ilvl90 or at very least ilvl70.

You forgot to mention patience. Even if and when you've finally found "the perfect group", someone just leaves after one or two fails. So yeah, if you account for everything, DF titan kills could mean one in hundred or maybe a thousand. Queuing as dps could take weeks if you're unlucky.

An easier method would be to join an fc or make a premade group and replace the noobs until you find the right mix. Titan DF is for practice. That's all it is. When you're completely new, you have to go into DF and practice and wipe until you're good enough to join a premade team. Then with a premade team, hopefully they can get to p5 on a more consistent basis so you can learn it. Once you have a team proficient in p5, you're ready to kick titan's butt and acquire the ultimate weapon.

GC weapon is enough. Healers should dps for most of heart phase too.

I've actually never seen the GC weapon provide enough dps unless everyone else is relic or better. It does require mostly i70 gear. Including the weapon.

The DPS check on heart is not harsh at all as long as people know how to DPS and the healers join in. Most people haven't a clue how to do that and vastly underperform with their level of gear though.

A good player will easily have enough with GC weapon. Don't even need DL/AK tier gear to be honest.

Not really required, maybe you can do SCH dpsing and WHM healing, but all healers dpsing is really a bad idea. At least one healer has to focus on healing, because in p4 you receive a lot more damage than p1-3.
And for the weapon, healers can do it with GC weapon, even if a ilv70 one would really raise the success rate, and dps just can't make it in GC gear, they need to deal damage. I've beaten the p4 without LBing with a WAR OT and 4 dps all in ilv70 weapon, even if I wiped a few times before getting it right.
The MT doesn't need a good weapon, he's just there to distract the boss.

Stick a DS Medica(2) and Regen on the tank at the start of heart, and then DPS until you see Weights. After Weight, top people off, cure through Tumult, top off/regen tank and DPS again. The outgoing damage in p4 is low.

Or be lucky. Due to boredom, I and my friends join DF to help people very frequently.
