Having problems beating (or getting to) T9? Here's a tip!

So this is a post about an archer being rude to a tank. The tank calls him out on his low DPS, he admits to not trying to help the group yet he wants the tank to play a certain way. Pot meet kettle.

To the OP, you seemed to attempt to give advice the right way, too bad your archer pal made what could of been a good learning experience for him into a childish back and forth.

Either way, like many have stated, you can use a marauder in T9. I guess that archer would of thought of that if he wasn't "talking to his LS" all the time.

I remember when I was experimenting with the applications of an ACN and it's cross class abilities, what a ****-storm I created from one of my threads. Another example would be using Titan to tank as a SMN while the tank can DPS since they'll have higher damage out-put than a pet would out of tank stance. Got mocked for that one too. Then it became a good strategy to use Titan to tank on Thornmarch Extreme, and yet clearly no one was like "hey remember that guy that was using a pet to tank to help out a tank in a dungeon and how he was just playing his job incorrectly instead of being seen as using something outside the norm and complacency of end-game routines? Yeah me either, let's mock him now then say glory unto Haruhi a month from now when we use a SMN to tank something for us in an encounter with Titan."

This community sometimes I swear.

There is quite a difference between using Titan as part of a boss strat pre-agreed by the party and using Titian in DF before the party has started, because you "had a feeling the Tank would suck".

This thread...
People defending the dude who was doing something he shouldn't, used bad arguments as in foresight nulifies BfB dmg taken increase which is just...and then proceeds to ironically say "you are not very bright are you?" and insult people for showing him how he was wrong..
And then some dudes come here "OH, but you are wrong we did T9 with marauder", please...

ROFL poor you, cause it's totally the same using titan on mog EX as using it in a dungeon right? I'm just speechless at someone actually thinking it's a good idea to use titan to "help the tank" in a dungeon by making stuff die slower in exchange for taking 1 silly add off of him...

You can't do easy math if you don't understand that a tank can do more damage than a SMN's pets if he's not in tank stance, a WAR especially if they're present, which one was for the dungeon. Even if they are, they can still out-perform Garuda spamming Wind Blade, and using the other two abilities occasionally, feel free to wail on a dummy in Coerthas to test it. Ifrit would more match their damage since his auto-attacks are combined with his actions.

And if when I have it out and the tank screws up and gets someone else killed and I and the healer only survive on the very first pull, then I'm fairly sure I'm psychic because Titan did prevent us from dying there as well.

I wonder why people are not using Titan Egi to tank Brayfox Speed runs... lol

There's thinking out of the box and being intuitive, but then there's talking nonsense and ridiculous ideas

I remember your post about you using Titan-egi. You claimed that you had it out when you zoned in to the dungeon, then left it out "because you didn't trust the tank to hold aggro". Without any evidence whatsoever to say they wouldn't (you just made this decision before anything had even been pulled.)
What then followed was no more than you trolling your tank for no reason.

So yeah, I'm curious- why would anyone think back on that when using Titan-egi for Thornmarch Extreme? The two scenarios don't exactly compare- you were just being pompous and self-entitled, whilst the Thornmarch Ex thing is actually an innovative use.

You have some serious hero syndrome.

I had a whole diatribe typed up, browser screwed me over and said I clicked away from the page, I'm not typing it up again. Deal with it.

Titan Egi tank FTW.

Yep, I second this. Titan Egi in Thornmarch Extreme is waaaaaayyy easier on everyone.
