    That is not me nor "my team", it's just sample footage of a Titan fight that shows an issue commonly seen in Titan videos. I could nitpick a half dozen things I feel they're doing wrong, but it doesn't change the issue of what's being pointed out in the original post. And while I personally do well enough in Titan trials, that is far from the point of the original post (which is merely pointing out issues that lead to many of the complaints surrounding this particular trial).

    Should I assume that you do not want these issues to be looked into and perhaps improved/fixed? Would it, for some reason, upset you if the cast bar, telegraphs, and explosion effects were synced? When I read responses like yours I feel like you're suggesting it's "ok" for the encounter to be only "mostly working", and that it's really the responsibility of the players to correct for the problems rather than have the developers correct the problems inherent to this trial.

    I won't disagree on the point that players have to adapt or fail (as it is what it is). But that doesn't mean the underlying problems shouldn't be fixed. Clearly Titan is an encounter that can be beaten. It would be better, however, if the issues were corrected and players could rely more on reflex than memorization (the former personally being a more enjoyable test of skill for gamers like myself who actually prefer MMOs with action based combat). The issues pointed out in the original post can be corrected without preventing memorization from being a viable way of beating this encounter, but I feel a player with enough reflex-based skill should be able to play Titan for the first time and have success. Currently that doesn't seem likely.
