sooo titan?

[Sebazy]

I have the first few phases down, the bombs have sweetspots where I can stand, the problem was, the healer going nuts with medica overhealing during geocrush, it takes provoke to get everything back under control.

The issue isn't during geocrush itself as any whm is going to medica at that stage. If they are using medica 2 right from the offset then you need to step in and suggest they stick with medica 1 at least until after the first geocrush. That'll hopefully give you the enmity headstart you need before the heart phase. If things still aren't working out then either they are ignoring your suggestion or you aren't generating enough enmity.

If you have a FC or static group I would just recommend farming some Garuda weapons. Not only will you be gearing up for titan (and maybe peoples' alts) but if you get good enough at it Garuda is a great source of Mythology stones

People ignore the posts here and do not use optimum rotations. I have seen wipes where only one DoT was on the heart. That means people are panicking and using their main raw damage combo that does not put out enough damage alone. Also BLM if not experienced will usually drag the overall dps down.

Other then that idk, but even people with primal weapons and DL can consistently score under 100. Pretty amazing feat.

1. good gears.
2. good internet.
3. Youtube guide.
4. practice.
5. when you're good, you'll need other 7 people to be as good as you or better (hardest part of this mission).

I've seen decked out groups in DF, everyone has near full DL and garuda weapons, guess what. No one can dodge. I've also seen groups in DF where everyone is horribly undergeared, yet they know how to dodge and we 1 shot titan when 3 people have ~2800 hp. This seems odd to say, but the undergeared people in DF are probably better than the people will full DL. Because guess what, the people in full DL have been stuck on titan so long that they have gotten enough tomes to buy full DL, yet the undergeared people are probably people's alts who have done titan before...and can dodge.

Fixed my internets, came close to defeating him, Think I can get him with a good group now.

Titan requires only two things:
1 -- Everyone must be able to dodge well. All attacks are pre-scripted so its a matter of memorization and being ready to run at the right time in the right direction. And of course no lag.
2 -- The DPS must be able to break heart. The more the merrier.

If there was no need to dodge the attacks then there would be nothing of interest to this fight. If too many people fail to dodge then the battle eventually drains resources (healing MP or DPS from attacking) and a loss will occur. Having oodles of HP of course makes up for not being able to dodge, so if having problems dodging, compensate with +HP.

Oh, use Sprint.... all the time its up.

Until Titan HM, you progress by dodging things as they happen. Come Titan HM, you have to memorize his rotations because Weight of the Land and Landslide casts too fast to dodge by reactions (and the server sure won't help you there). I think it's worse for healers since they also need to remember the tableflip.

No one there is stupid, bad players or whatever, the game does a 180 at that point and if you don't inform yourself you'll get stuck.

But titan is the relic quest, well part of it, once this lil challenge is done I'm home free.

One of main problems with Titan is nothing in this game prepares you for it. There are so many people hitting up relic quest like its "go kill 5 mice" type deal and getting to Titan because the entire chain of quests is a laughable 1 night joke of activities. I considering Demon Wall to be the most difficult boss throughout the entire relic quest prior to Titan and that is -only- because of the mechanics. You have to move a lot, you can end up fighting in a small space and you can fall to your death with Demon Wall helping to achieve that with repel to knock you off, very similar mechanics to Titan, small area, Aoe's to dodge, knock back moves and a ledge to fall off. All other fights are weak. Then Titan hits and its a whole other level compared to what you've gone through.

The only advice I can give to secure a win is learn his rotation and do your actions and movement in advance, pretend plumes are already up when you "know" they are about to be up, and get moving.
