I love the game, but... Titan

[Ri_ri]

while i totally agree that every mage should have swiftcast, as it is an invaluable ability, its not going to make the difference in a win or loss vs. titan in this instance. If people in your party are continually eating plumes to the point that you need swiftcast to counter their HP loss, your party is not going to beat titan.

I think the point is to be ready to Raise someone if they mess up.

Ideally, no one would mess up. But mistakes happens, people get up, fight goes on. When I've got my Relic I was raised after the heart. Just waited for Gaol and accepted.
