    Interesting tidbit about Titan Extreme

    So, when you get to Superbombs, likely the 2nd set of Superbombs, and Titan is low on health...
    DO NOT IGNORE SUPERBOMBS TO BURN TITAN!!!

    Its very simple. Every time, the Superbombs explode. The 2 tanks survive.
    Then, even IF you get Titan's health to 0.
    Even IF you keep hitting a 0 hp Titan for another 10 seconds.
    Even IF he actually "dies", doing his death animation and disappears and the screen fades to black...
    Your tank will be killed by Gaolers, even after Titan himself is "dead"... And the instance will reset, and the game says you did NOT WIN.

    Somehow... If Superbombs are up, or Gaolers are up, and you dont have a bunch of people alive... The game will say that you did not win. End. Of. Story.

    I have seen this happen 4 times in the past 2 days. Good groups, good rng, good execution... people got greedy and tried to burn Titan instead of the Superbomb, and they die, and the tanks get Titan's HP to 0, and we still lose.
    Please, dont be greedy, dont ignore mechanics, and dont keep putting other people through this shit.
    There is a good 30 seconds after the 2nd set of Superbombs to burn Titan, that is more than enough.

    Indeed. You should not be getting to a second set of superbombs. If you are, you need to replace some dps, or if you're a static, upgrade your gear more. I understand you're trying to encourage people to play smarter with this thread, but you're really just highlighting a vital flaw in the groups you've joined.

    Say it when you join a group instead of on the forums which hardly anyone reads

    I do agree with this sentiment but not the same situation, some groups i've seen in Garuda, try to burn her down before the whirlwind phase (ignoring all the plumes), most of the time they get wiped.

    But i have yet to see a 2nd set of superbombs though, usually it's only 2nd adds and down goes titan.

    It sounds like the OP had a group that was a bit closer to the minimum ilevel than most. Most PF groups are i80 minimum or more which means YES he should likely die before 2nd Superbombs. His Titan was not enraged as I've yet to see him enrage and I've had a group require a third add round. I hate seeing "X has to happen or your DPS is fail" comments. The best is the tank getting two stacks after the first phase. I see no end to gripes from people that the DPS all suck because the tank didn't escape with 1 stack...if you don't see plumes then that's a 1-3 hit difference between getting the MB and not getting the MB. I only see 1 stack there if our DPS is all i85+. This sounds like a genuine bug since his enrage mechanic is ever increasing Landslides.

    This isn't even true. I killed Titan yesterday, with 7/8 ppl dead and 2nd Superbombs already on screen. I got Windbite off and was killed, and the BLM Scathe'd Titan to death. He then got killed by superbomb. We got the clear.

    Also, to agree with everyone else. You shouldn't even see 2nd Superbombs, and unless your DPS is stupid low, you should always ignore 2nd Superbombs.
