HM Titan will be nerfed soon

[Ri_ri]

So I decided to queue up for Titan HM the other day and of the 7 pug groups I was matched with we all 1 shot the boss.

Is this still a thing? I'm on the JP server cluster if it matters.

I've went in as PLD for killing time, took the typical Landslide at 20% but they still beat it.

DF isn't nearly as bad as some people say.

I used to blame lag on the Titan fight until I learned the actual mechanics of the game. People prefer to blame other things rather than themselves because

Here are some helpful tips at defeating these mechanics:
1. Never use an ability or finish casting if you are in the AOE.

2. Focus on just running the moment you see the AOE under you. If you have lag issues then learning the pattern of the fights are what is most important for you in reacting before those actions even appear.

3. Pay attention to AOE timers. You can run through animations as long as you were not in the AOE at the end of its casting timer.

5. Titan has 5 phases. There is a pattern in every phase. Learn it and this fight will become an easy obstacle.

6. Don't tunnel vision yourself. Keep your eyes moving. You can easily set a routine where your eyes follow a path. Here is an example a of what some DDs may follow (everyone has their own set path):
Your HP/MP/TP (use abilities that restores HP/MP/TP if low ) -> Boss HP bar ( check for boss using abilities ) -> Your Position (where you make adjustments if you are standing on top of AOE ) -> Check your CDs ( your ability rotations ) -> repeat.

When it comes to video games, game mechanics can be anything from latency (ping) issues to frame rate drops. Not every game will have the same game mechanics.

DF or premade titan isn't really difficult. As stated many times people more fail due to it being buggy. This morning I attempted with DF grp and on third attempt we got to about 25% with a tank, dps and heal left, and if the heal hadn't got stuck in gaol the 3 left probably would have killed Titan. And many of these bugs are the same bugs since beta and if happen at a bad time it kills you. I can say what ever I got hit by on that grp was my fault but I ended up dying to stomps and got the delay heal bug. If the incoming heal hit me after cast we may have made downed it with the extra dps.

A great grp and well organized can still fail even if they do everything right on Titan. It's not very forgiving. And if SE can't fix the issues then unfortunately nerfing the boss is an option...Bad option, but one out there. I would rather the bugs be fixed and go from there.

Titan hard is easy mode for me, I can't wait for Titan extreme! That is going to be fun.

I can't believe they are nerfing content like this in the future... What ARE THEY THINKING!???? Any decent coil-geared group can rip the face off of that fight without a second thought. Why do they need to nerf it when they are releasing item lvl gear already??? You are just wasting hardware/memory space.

Main problem with titan hm is the lag not because its hard... Titan is easy but if I lag. I die... plain and simple.

[Cod_Eye]

Hard or easy, all irrelevant when a large bulk of the community paid to be carried through.

[Elazu]

I hope not. Titan is already easy.

[Risae]

The new lagfix itself will be the nerf for 2.1.
Now even DF partys will be able to firsttry kill him.

the only hard thing about bosses is dealing with players that are new to it..
