    What in the world Does a BLM do in Titan HM?

    Like.... our class cant do enough damage for this. It relies too heavily on procs. If you get unlucky during a run, you cant do enough dps , while other classes burst them down.

    Rotation is

    Swiftcast T3 - Fire 3 - fire 1 (all procs) blizz 3, thunder 2 repeat

    Are you serious? As a BLM I always feel I'm the one doing the most damage in Titan... and in everywhere, to be honest.

    In a fight that is 10+ minutes long like Titan, "proc luck" becomes much less of a thing that you need to be worrying about as the numbers begin to average out pretty quickly over time.

    Or are you talking strictly about the heart phase or something? (But even then, it shouldn't be a big deal as far as I've heard.)

    Disclaimer: I don't play BLM, but I run with a few of them who all express no concerns whatsoever about their ability to perform on Titan.

    Raging Strikes can add damage for 20 seconds during the heart phase.

    The only time a BLM isn't doing enough damage is when they're hitting something with their staff/scepter.

    If you meant the heart phase, what you do is save Raging strikes for that.

    The timing of raging strikes is important, you need to pop it at the beginning of a new fire phase, right after Fire III so you have astral fire 3 from the beginning to maximize damage.

    When you're running low on mana = Swiftcast + Flare + Convert

    Same here. I'm always 2nd or 3rd on the threat list during the fight.

    Threat list doesn't mean much. People can use quelling strikes or other abilities to reduce threat.
