    Titan.

    Hello.

    I'm a lv 34 WHM, and I've been in two parties already tyring to fight Titan.

    And because the topic's title is Titan, you'll supose I'm trying to understand if I've been playing my role well, because titan's poke keeps barraging the party. After an hour or hour and half (divided in two sessions half nad half for each party), the second one there was a tank that actualyl breached the 2k HP line and knew how to manage Enmity.

    I wrote down a wall of txt bu tthe forum doesn't want me to share my full experience.
    Instead, I'm >linking< to a pastebin page so you can read the whole length of the walltext.

    What am I doing wrong? What could I be doing better?
    SHould I be running Shield + Wand over a Cane in order to attempt osave some of my own hp which in turn means I'll have to heal myself less?
    Should I slot Piety, or VIT materials?

    My current MND is 203.
    My current Piety and MP are 154 and 1439.

    From what I can tell, you are doing nothing wrong. I will say that this fight gets much easier at lv35 when you Regen. With Regen, you can just keep that up on all the party members during Phase 4, making his multi-stomp much easier to heal. Phase 1 is all about dodging. If you are having trouble getting out of the bad zone quickly enough, I'd recommend constantly strafing around the boss, only stopping to heal. If you are already moving when the bad zone spawns on you, due to latency and reaction time, you are far more likely to safely make it out of the zone. As for the entomb in Phase 4, make sure your DPS are on top of it. Side note: Try and stay away from the tombs, I've gotten a knockback zone spawn on me and I tried to side strafe, getting stuck on the tomb

    What Goom said.

    Regen makes a world of difference in the fight. you can do it just fine without it (the first time I ran it I didn't realize the level cap was high enough for me to use it) but you will have to be relying on Medica and waiting for 2 AOEs or so before using it so you don't run out of MP mid-fight.

    I used two heals that fight at level 34 and one shot it. Medica and cure I. Make sure your hitting everyone with your Medica and don't overheal on any heal. The damage is consistent and predictable, just plug away

    I had such a hard time with this my first time. No one explained anything to me. I was still in the cutscene while they were saying what to do. After I got out I didn't have time to scroll up and read everything because tank had already moved towards the boss. I got knocked off. After 3-4 tries, finally finished. Everyone just has to watch their surroundings. Titan is fairly easy to heal. Gets easier when you get Regen at level 35. Only time I've had problems is because the dps refuses to move when Titan is charging up for his fist attack that automatically pushes you off if hit by it.

    I also want to ask if he's attack kind of bugged for anyone else? I remember first couple times I got hit by it I moved and he still targeted me and I fell off. SO now when I see it, I try to move as far away as possible.

    I think it's a lag issue and I try to give as much distance as I can if I have to get out of a landslide. It's also a good idea to stay close to Titan because the platform gets smaller and if you are late you still might not get knocked off by just strafing out of the ae line area. Or strafe and move towards the middle, that helps too

    The game seems to check position 3 times a second or so(according to Yoshi) this means you could effectively be playing with as much as the equivalent of 333ms ping. Not sure why it can't check position just as it resolves the attack but for any sort of stuff like this you need to move out of it quickly and give yourself plenty of time.
