Of course Titan has been 'eased' many times, since then. But yeah, the heart phase was a pretty hard 'enrage'.
Hence why I said adds and stuff; heart phase could be considered an add for intents and purposes. If you took care of the instant wipe mechanics and just moved, halting all DPS, the fight would go on until the timer ran out. Not like later primal fights where you have this many of the primal's rotation or this much time until it hard enrages and we all die~ ♥

Ah, good to know. Something that would have killed when it was relevant, but something you can easily power through nowadays.
