I love the game, but... Titan

[Naunet]

Swiftcast generally won't be used on plumes. Most likely if someone is hit on p5 its a one shot. What it is exceptional for is getting an emergency heal off during stomps p5 so you don't fall behind before plumes fire off. Especially if the tank takes a big mountain buster hit or you're a bit late on a cast. It smooths over a rotation.

I use it for a Medica II right at the start of every stomp. Swiftcast's CD is up like clockwork for each one, and the AoE hot pretty much negates any following stomp damage. If need be, I follow up with a Medica, which depending on how fast I am with it, I can sometimes get off even before Titan follows up with WotL. Granted, this is a strategy I had to develop after basically being forced to solo heal 90% of the fight. xD It also means rezing is a no-go on my end, but then, nobody should be dying in the first place.

OP, finish off the rest of your Darklight gear.

You are at 50 and rocking a level 38 bracelet, which while not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, will give someone else ammo to turn you down for a run. I wouldn't even give them that opportunity. Spend an hour for a few more Philo tomes and upgrade the rest of your jewelry or just buy the level 49 HQ stuff off the market. WP drops a nice shield too for WHM's that I would consider worth going after. I personally think you are geared just fine for Titan (and I've seen much, much worse), but there are definitely people out there who will see that bracelet and think you are just slacking.

After that, it's a matter of how lucky you are to find at least 3-4 other people who know how to survive post-heart. Every time I've beaten Titan, half the party is dead, so just keep joining shout groups. Don't bother with DF, since it's apparent you seem to know the fight.

Also, OP, idk if this has been stated already or if you already have this setting, but it helped me tremendously when I switched from the standard controls to "legacy" controls. I try and convince other people in my party to use legacy controls as well. It'll enable you to run backwards as opposed to slowly back peddling.

Been using a mouse to move since WOW. I anticipate when I need to run, turn my view to that direction, then just run when needed. I guess this could be nice, but I never walk backwards. Might be useful for other people.

Hey OP,

I am also from Faerie. I should be running Titan for my 5th relic later this week, so feel free to tag along if you still need it by then.

Add me on friend list so I don't forget. ^_^

^ This. The other thing you can do is post a note on the Faerie forum asking for help from people who know the fight or find other people who just need others who can dodge.

Titan is easy...

I've killed him in the DF twice and I've sold it for at least 25 kills and I have killed him probably 100 times. And I've tanked and dpsed it.

Everything happens in the same order, all you need to do is memorize the fight and you can go without getting hit by a single thing.

When we sell titan, if we can't find buyers, we give away free runs (probably why we can't find buyers).

I am not sure you read my post.

Well of course, everyone know to ..... snip.

This is great except that generally speaking if the group is doing all this, they are not having problems with Titan. The mountain buster to stomps to plumes is the most difficult part of p5 for a whm simply from the non avoidable damage. So for a new or struggling whm having a fast cast medica for those times when the above mentioned skills have not been used is immensely beneficial.

A professional group can run titan with the whm bored from the lack of healing reqired but this post isn't about that.
