Help a Healer out (Titan - Storyline)

[Aegis]

This may be a given (as in something you already know) but people need to run to the edge of the red marker when he goes up in the air, right before the big AoE hits. The closer they are to that red line (without standing on it, since that will get them punted over the edge) the less damage they take when the AoE hits so the less you will need to worry about them at that point.

Yeah, first time I saw it I ran right to the edge of the AOE line. Straight off the edge, then again, so did two others (it was everyone's first time). We noticed damage was higher the closer you were to the middle. No-one ran right to the red line for fear of being knocked off, but we all ran a few yalms from it. Probably could have gotten closer to it, then and saved more MP/HP.

You're a healer. Any damage you do in a boss fight means nothing. If you can't heal someone don't do anything. It's better to wait for your allies to get hurt and be ready than to lose focus by doing minimal dps.

Apart from being knocked out of the ring, the only deaths were from Earthen Fury. I was able to keep everyone healed, that wasn't a problem, but I didn't feel able to really contribute beyond that, which I feel I probably should have been able to.

Limit Break his heart after you break whoever he puts the stone prison on. Popping sprint periodically helps massively to move around and dodge, so get into the habit of hitting it once in a while.

Yeah, this is something we picked up on that we should do. The first two runs, the PGL wanted to save it for LB2 after Earthen Fury.

Now that I would never have thought of. Thanks a lot.

I suggest putting your fairies heal on a hot key

Yeah, I just left her on auto-pilot mostly. I didn't know her AI triggers. Good advice.

I can't speak directly as SCH, but from a whm perspective, I've done Titan both sides of 35 and I can't stress it strongly enough, Regen practically trivialises the healing aspect of the fight, it makes keeping everyone else topped up between AEs a near non event leaving you to focus on keeping the tank up and getting out of the way of those punches. If the SCH equivalent is as good, you want it.

After I completed the quest and returned to Limsa, I figured I would flag the SCH quest (I hadn't been back in a city since level 32 or so). And I looked at the ability and thought "Yeah, I probably shoulda had that..."
