    sooo titan?

    what is the principal problem with Titan? i'm a healer so i dont really know. i mean as long as everyone has ilvl 50 weapons it should be ok right? i mean its unrealistic to expect everyone to have ifrit or garuda weapons with only one drop per encounter imo. the only thing i can think is the height of the heart causing attacks to not go off and getting the out of range message. i've had groups that had no problem dodging things but couldn't pass the heart phase.

    the principle problem with titan is people can't dodge. Usually because they really can't, though occasionally the lag excuse is legitimate.

    if nobody dies before heart and you can't kill it in time then either your party comp is no good (e.g. 2 tanks, though its not unreasonable to have a WAR in DPS mode), people need to improve their attack rotations, pay more attention or otherwise improve themselves skill wise; they need better gear, or limit break isn't being used (if you can't get the heart down despite everyone surviving through the heart phase and using limitbreak, something is seriously wrong with the party or somebody in it)

    You are going to want to have around 3200hp or more as a WHM/SCH. This means some Darklight gear/etc. You may have to do some Ifrit/Garuda farming to get your item, on the plus side you get tomes for gear so it balances out. If at any point you found yourself struggling on Ifrit/Garuda you are not ready for Titan. If the rest of your gear is fairly solid and your Main stat is in the 400+ range you should have little issue as far as gear. But no amount of gear will make people good at dodging the mechanics of the fight, that just takes memorization and practice.

    Main problem is usually people dying to avoidable things like bombs and weights, falling off the edge at some point, or failing to break Heart.

    People should at try for Ifrit or Garuda weapon. Those fights are considerably way easier than Titan and it doesn't take long to kill either of them with a half-decent group. Having mostly AK and Darklight gear is also a definite bonus.... people should have at least 3200 HP in case they do screw up and get hit by a bomb.

    Helps to have level 2 limit break up for Heart if DPS can't quite get it down. Build up the meter about half to a bar in phase 1 before pushing him into the next. Healers can also help do damage since he only stomps once during heart phase, giving them a lot of free time if no one is getting hit.

    Under geared, skills, and lag. A combination of those 3. The more geared you are the better especially if you're in pug you want most of them in DL.

    it is better to get 4,1k hp in titan as healer & mage instead of 3,2k, in case you get lock in plume by 3-4 ppl run in same direction, you still have enough HP to take dmg from double plume and survive and not drop dead with the 3,2k hp

    So what gear/materia would I need to raise my HP that high? Because having 4k+ HP as a SCH for Titan HM sounds incredibly delightful to me.

    I believe you should get your relic +1 BEFORE attempting Titan!

    I already have a +1 Relic for my BLM, but I need to be a SCH in order to get my +1 book (which means I need to beat Titan), unless you're referring to the Myth gear (which I guess some people call Relic or +1 or something of that nature).

    It was sarcasm.
