I wonder if healers can even be carried..the other healer must be VERY good to run the fight on his own.
    One good healer is more than enough for Titan HM as long as people are dodging, because the only healing needed is for Stomps and the Tank.

    It's largely to do with gearing. There are a lot of people with full i90 gear these days.
    For Titan HM, you can overgear it now to the point where not only can seven good people carry one "AFK" person, but FOUR good people can carry FOUR "AFK" people.
    Basically, all you need is enough DPS to kill it during the Heart Phase, after that, it's a game of attrition. As long as the healer can continue to counteract the damage from the Footstomps, you end up winning.

    Bringing two healers just means you can recover more easily if/when people aren't able to dodge everything that's dodgeable. That said, although it's certainly better to dodge them, with overgearing eating one or two plumes in Titan HM won't kill you and Mountain Busters on an i90 tank that can rotate their cooldowns properly largely just tickle (speaking from experience). Even bombs are less deadly (though again, you should really try to dodge them and bait landslides properly in order to have ROOM to dodge them). Landslides are the only real issue because they automatically knock a non-tank off (Hallowed Ground, Tempered Will, Holmgang all stop the Knockback from Landslides).

    Maybe it's just because I've had to up my game in order to beat Titan EM (HATEFUL fight) but Titan HM really doesn't strike me as all that difficult anymore, unless you're doing it with a bunch of people in ~i65 rather than ~i85 gear. I can appreciate that for a new class you're probably only going to have full Darklight or some CT drops, but that doesn't mean you can't bring a few i90'ed buddies to the fight and then swap around whenever they have a lowbie class that needs your help. My FC regularly runs Titan HM for new folks, and without even touching my friendlist I've got at least two linkshells where I could go to find complete strangers who would do the fight for free with me if asked nicely. (And given the gear progression, I'd not be surprised if you could find a PUG or DF group that could beat it after a few attempts...) I've even stopped seeing /shouts selling HM Primal runs, it's all EM Primal runs these days.
