Am I geared enough for HM Titan?

[Prototype909]

I know DF for HM Titan is notoriously hard/bad/impossible reputation wise, but I figured I'd give it a shot since the FC I'm in is still way behind the point I'm at in the game.

I only ask this because

1) I don't want to join and ruin someone else's run because I was unprepared
2) I don't want to spend additional philo stones if I'm sufficiently geared because I still need the 900 item for my relic should I ever beat Titan

Thanks for your time

Currently, your gear seems fine, but some recommendations are:
1) Level Marauder for Foresight/Bloodbath. I personally recommend Fracture for that extra bit of DPS for Heart Phase, but I'd say Foresight is one of the cross class abilities you should definitely get.
2) Re-allocate your points to VIT. I don't know how you currently have your points allocated, but you definitely want a bigger HP pool for this fight more than anything.

Gear-wise, you're fine and with a decent group with healers who know how to dodge, you shouldn't die easily.

I already have foresight and bloodbath.

Ahh okay, then you're good with that then. If you want to continue, then Mercy Stroke will be a nice tool in your arsenal. 200 Potency attack off GCD every 90 seconds gives a small boost in DPS.

One more bump I guess

The main problem usually isn't gear, but skills.

It doesn't matter what your gear is, to beat titan requires a nearly perfect, totally cohesive group with everyone always dodging every attack. Titan does more than enough damage just with his unavoidable tumolt attack, there is basically zero tolerance for screwups.

Mercy Stroke can only be used in the last 20%, probably can use it only once, maybe twice. Big maybe.

Gear is just as important. If you can't handle the constant barrages from him, he's going to take you down. Gear is equally important on DD's due to the fact that you need to kill that heart asap.

No idea about healers, but I'd imagine it's pretty important too.

Try bumping up your hp to 5k, it helps alot after the heart phase is done, other than that you can start gaining experience with Titan. Also the healers have to be on their A game once that phase comes cause titan starts hitting like a truck.

Every now and then, I would use cure on myself. You'll know when to use them. Even if it's 200 - 300 heals. They're extremely helpful. It might as well be having extra HP if doing it right.
