Titan HM was among my favorite of mid-core battles. Tackling him in Darklight gear, he stood as a real challenge between many players and their relic. Clearing the heart phase was a rush. Learning his final phase as a healer was pulse pounding, as the Tumults began stacking up and missed dodges began to take their toll, until finally, your group holds it together and he goes down. Titan was far from the hardest battle in 2.0, but he laid the smack down on those who came unprepared (myself included!). He was a great starting point for leaping into harder content, and had an immensely compelling reward in the shape of the relic weapon. I would love some battles that really nail that level of tuning again.
