    This is where I'm at with Titan EX right now. I've been to single digits several times now, the lowest being 1%. I've seen everything that fight has to offer. I just haven't managed to be in a party that stays together long enough to clear it. The run we got it to 1%, a healer ragequit after the wipe. Seriously, quitting when you just got it to 1%? But yeah, at no time did I join farm parties whether it be sneaking in or asking for a carry. After a few false starts in learning parties as a tank (which I found extremely stressful and not fun in the least), I've done learning parties as a DPS and have gradually moved up to clear parties. Usually I go with a friend, and he puts in the party description that there is a myth bonus so people know up front and don't completely freak out on us. Often times I end up as the last man standing but unfortunately Titan punches much harder than I do. ;w;

    Perhaps once I've actually cleared it I'll feel more comfortable with poking at it again as a tank.

    Honestly, at times I wish there *was* a tickbox for "previous clears only". I can't tell you how many times we've gone to do a T5 or Levi EX farm and gotten inside to see a myth bonus. Usually the person with the bonus doesn't fess up until everyone else starts linking items or until we start tossing around the idea of kicking the people that we don't know. Then they protest that they know the entire fight, etc; usually it ends up not being true. Sorry, but wiping us repeatedly at the second set of divebombs does not = knowing the fight. If this was implemented, you could always PM the party owner if you have been to single digits and are confident in your ability to clear.
