I need a healing strategy for Titan.

[DenzelTaru]

I am a SCH and we have nearly unlimited MP, that is why we never run out.. On the down side our heals arent as potent. p1 2 and 3 only use Medica during stomps.. only start using Medica II at p4 because once the heart is shattered everyone needs to be full health and regen from medica II helps.

Learning the rotation of p5 is helpful for you too (although that doesnt answer your MP problem) i cannot memorise his rotation in p5 that well cos i have a bad memory so just remember this:

when p5 starts he immediately Mountain Busters the tank followed by stomps, you want to heal tank to full and immediately cast medica II dont worry if you beat him to it, by the time you fire it off he will be stomping for lots.. you should be able to get medica2 and medica1 off before he finishes then you must run for plumes.

after that Landslide means Mountain Buster.. Mountain Buster means Stomps or Plumes.. he alternates in the stomps every 2nd time i believe

Top tip for SCH in Titan (or any hard mode primal to be fair) : pop Aetherflow as soon as you enter the battle, before it starts. Then the timer is ticking to reuse, and you have 3 Sacred Soil/Lustrates to use in the meantime.

Biggest issue I see with healers in titan is trying to always top everyone off. This is not needed. The time between stops is enough that someone will naturally regen from 70% to 100% hp while in combat. This is just costing you MP, adding to your enmity, and causing you to lose focus off the tank.

The only time you should be using a heal outside of your aoe/tank focus rotation is if someone gets hit by a plume or bomb. Then either a cure1 or regen is all they need. There is really no need for any medica2's before the heart, but I'll throw maybe one medica2 out during P4 since I'm very good at managing my MP/enmity.

Don't forget you have benediction, which I mostly just use as an MP saving cure IIx2. After the tank eats a MB and you know they will be at like 20%, use that free benediction.

My solo heal rotation for Phase 5 titan is

Starting from the top

Earthern Fury -> Medica 2 during it.

Mountain Buster Next-> Cure 2 Bomb Tank

Preperation for stomps-> Divine Seal

During Stomps-> Medica 1 Spam /While warning for Plumes

Plumes-> Evasion/ Regen on tank, run macro for Aero/Virus/Eye for an Eye when safely out of plumes.

Bomb Phase->
:If circle bombs, general healing/evasion is applied.
:If X formation, stand on a bomb on the edge of the formation till landslide animation disappears, to potentially redirect a landslide.
:If Line formation AND last line falls on tank location, stand in middle till he directs the landslide, soon as you see direction, run to safe bomb area.

If your tank is good, wait until the second stomp and start keeping regen on him/her. It will require more enmity management. But this way, I find if I use regen at second stomp and use only Medica I for the stomps until after heart, I have less MP problems and can use Shroud to both reduce enmity and stay on top of MP.

Post Bomb Phase/Landslide -> Cure 2 Bomb tank

Mountain Buster -> Plume Warning

Gaol Phase -> General healing. After a player is put in rock, try make sure tank is over 75% HP. When rock is about 50% dead, cast Medica 2. After Medica 2 is up, cap off tank HP with Cure 1/Cure 2.

Mountain Buster -> Immediately after you make sure the tank is safe HP wise, cast Divine Seal and start casting Medica 1 spam for Stomps

Repeat ->

*This is a my White Mage rotation. Watch for your MP shroud when your 50%. If you have a a Bard, Ballad makes it easier, if you don't you will need to use an Ether/Elixir and requires much harsher MP management.

Also there's no room for ressing anyone as you won't have MP for it.

General tips:

• Regen people who get hit by plumes. Don't give them a cure unless tumults are coming soon and they're low.
• Don't esuna Determination Down if it's on a healer unless it's heart phase and they're going to be cleric stance DPSing.
• Plan divine seal for the biggest heals: in phase 5 after gaol -> landslide I use divine seal (after landslide blows) -> cure 1 (timed to land right after rock buster) -> cure 2 (timed to land right after mountain buster, but can downgrade to cure 1 if the tank is mitigating and/or full hp) -> medica 2 (timed to land after the first tumult hit) -> medica 0-2 times (depending on the other healer and how many stomps) -> esuna the person who was jailed (if MP is getting bad skip this, better to lose some DPS than not have enough MP to cure) -> regen on the tank (unless the tank is getting topped off by another healer already)
• Remember damage comes in spikes on Titan; don't blow MP topping people off too aggressively.
• Ask your tank to learn how to avoid bombs if they aren't already (it makes a big difference).
• Use raise extremely sparingly. If there's a SCH or a SMN, always let them raise instead of you. If raise duty falls on your shoulders, don't raise when you have low MP and don't raise someone who's not dodging well or doesn't know when to accept it.

Determination Down affects heals too. Check the attribute description.

His point is that a haler can remove his own debuffs, unless they are dps focused during heart. The remove it so they can focus.

Despite being called determination down, and despite what the determination attribute says, the debuff does not cripple heals at all. I used to esuna it religiously but then tested it and there's zero reduction in heals with the debuff on.
