Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

Casters without instant abilities are having the most problems with this fight, the same problem is happening in normal mode too. Can people survive the aoe damage in HM? In normal the positonal refresh problem exists too, meaning if you're in the middle of a cast and the aoe hits, you interupt and run however, the server still thinks your in the same spot. So no matter where you are your going to take damage. Due to toxic behavior of other players I spent the whole day getting berated and humiliated. Then I decided to stop trying to avoid the damage, if the knockback aoe happens I run to the center, to avoid being knocked off, the aoe, I try and get to the outside, but I take damage no matter where I am. I just heal through, when I played though the damage it was that point I had a successful fight. If you can't survive the aoe in HM, another suggestion I found worked to was to spam your spells as your running, so the server will refresh your position.

Or you could level up a class with nothing but instant abilities, and run the fight. I remember there were lag issues in FFXI, with claiming mobs, maybe the answer lies with extending the cast time on abilities to compensate for lag and server issues, until a proper fix can be made, I do know a few people have told me they quit being a white mage due to the titan fight. Since the issues is occuring with all modes of the fight, and doesn't exist in the other primal fights, the problem lies with the instance server.
