Reason why DF people fail Titan

[Elvin]

Yep, Titan is a great lag-check. Anyway duty finder for it is kind of a joke. 2 tanks..... So you have to be lucky and have 4 decent geared DPS or they won't even get to when the fight start.

Anyway people can be carried on Titan too, it's not that different... Just not in duty finder xD.

If they put and ilvl check on duty finder (on Ilvl 60 I guess) and a 5DPS 1 tank 2 healers party, people will be carried on duty finder as much as in Garuda HM.

I like 1 tank at least a BRD and 4 more dps, a WHM and a SCH, of course they need full darklight and at least garuda weapon, 2.1 will put gear checks for DF.

"of course they need full darklight and at least garuda weapon, 2.1 will put gear checks for DF."

That's a joke, I suppose... I mean, of course if they have that it's better, but you can't put that on DF. And of course it's not necesary. Ilvl check will be a "minimun gear check", so it won't be more than ilvl 60. Maybe even less.

But the "at least garuda weapon" is the best part of it... "at least"? Only relic and allagan weapons are better........

Thought garuda weapon was ilvl 60, I must have been thinking of Ifrit weapon, which is fine too, I never really dpsed titan, I was always on the recieving end of his punches, so I would not be for sure of what gear a dps needs to down the heart.

Too little communication and people leaving too soon are also a problem if you ask me.

Sure, if your party wipes for the 15th time with no signs of improvement I don't see any harm in leaving. But I have seen people leave after 1 or two tries with a PT that was very promising. Instead of yelling at someone that their gear is bad, try giving some tips on how to improve in a polite way.

Lag is horrible cause if I stop casting at 0.5sec I still get my cast. I wasted myself 2 days cause of titan. It is pretty interesting still DF queues take sometimes under 1min as dps so many ppl are using it.

I think Titan is level 70. I got my 3rd relic in DF. the main difference in my 213 losses and my recent win on blm is everyone dodged. and no one was using level 55 gear and weapons.

[diulalasing]

a lot of people in DF is undergeared but refused to acknowledged it

[Aegis]

It's just dodging. That's it. That's all of it.

If you are i60 or above, even a moderate DPS from everyone will down the heart (with a LB in some cases). After that, no matter how long the fight lasts, the healers can manage as long as they only have to heal the tank and tumults.

But dodging is the hard bit. Until someone helped me tweak my LAN settings I had to be dodging plumes before they appeared (EU player here). After that tweak I can now dodge plumes every time after they appear.

Honestly, if they were at a reasonable price, I would buy a run just to get seven other people who can dodge reliably (or who are geared enough to be able to lose someone pre-heart).

The reason people fail at titan is because they either:
A. Lack focus
B. Lack the ability to learn a pattern
C. Lag
D. Its their first time
E. All of the above

Titan is one of those bosses that requires everyone to be at the top of their game alive and doing their part till at least after heart phase where 3-5 skilled players can still pull it off.

I believe part of this is due to the fact of other RPGs being way to laxed. You sit there and press a button every now and then, has little to do with motion or even having to evade attacks. If you played ffxi for years then came to this one, it was like a whole new ball game for bosses. You can't just sit there and hit the mob while you go get a soda or make pancakes. You have to be focused ALL THE TIMES and READY FOR ANYTHING. Boss uses herp, in response you derp.
