I went back to read it. However, the claims of 1 death=instant wipe and no chance of recovery is hugely exaggerated. I've cleared titan ex with only me (dps), 1 tank and 1 healer alive.

I agree..for the most part. Sometimes a death or a screwed up mechanic means everyone dies. For example, if the divebomb marker for Second Coil: Turn 4 is placed improperly, you're all going to be blasted into the wall. Or in Turn 2, a person who doesn't get behind the cyclops with Shriek freezes everyone. Turn 3 has Allagan Field and, and far as I can remember, Turn 1 has nothing like that.
