Dodging bombs is a nightmare in phase 5 IMO because of the lag. Only the 3-row bombs, though.

1. First, you have to stand at the DANGER BOMBS to bait Titan's AoE so that it doesn't land in an awkward place.
2. When Titan's AoE appears, you run to the safe bombs.
3. When Titan's AoE is going off and the DANGER BOMBS have not yet exploded, you run INTO Titan's AoE animation and the bomb explosion animation.

This is very unnatural! It is necessary because the animations occur after the damage has already occurred.

Weight of the land is probably really bad for people who have to charge their attacks like SMN and BLM. If I couldn't already be moving at the start of it, they would hit me frequently. For my part I just start having out (hopefully with no idiot running toward me on the other side) and I make it out appropriately.

Also, WHM50. :D

It was a good feeling after 3 hours of Titan HM torture. Maybe it'll be easier when half the team doesn't 90K during the fight.

Tans, please ask your FC to carry me if you guys ever go the 3 healer route and need a SCH. ; ;

Our first all-FC group finally beat it yesterday.

Like, I can get the bombs sometimes, but I have to focus on it a little, and then the tank dies of Mountain Buster (though I think this was partly because the WHM also kept messing up).

The first dungeon is at 15, so you'll reach it if you just do the main story. :)

I've heard that a secret to helping to overcome Titan HM latency issues is to cast a spell or ability after you dodge the plumes on your screen. This force-updates your position on the server and gives you a little more time.

Also, jumping apparently does not update your position until you land again, so jumping is very bad.

I don't use Reddit, and I do use gay. :]

Our progression group may carry me if I ask nicely, but I think I can get it. I may make a PLD WHM WHM SCH DD DD DD DD party and see how it goes.

Also, Dan came with our raiding group because our SMN was busy, and he got his Garuda HM weapon.

He previously had his Stone Vigil weapon. XD

I play primarily on Sargatanas, but I've a char on Gilgamesh I play when I want to build rest exp. An there be a casual/social mafiascum FC or LS, I'd not be averse to some company.

Char name is Marcus Belisarius.

GDI.

Wow, I rule, hydraslipping outside of a frigging game.

Just finished a copperbell mines run & said verbatim to my pt "Congratulations, you've just won cbm with a healer who is precisely as drunk as fuck."

Healing is so much easier in this game than it is in FFXI.

I'll add you if I see you on, Beli. :]

Everyone except Tans (Iec, Dan, AP, Mara) is in Taint, which is currently full. You're welcome to join if it interests you. Tans is in FINAL, the Reddit FC.

I don't think we have a MS LS right now because so many are in Taint, but I'm sure someone could make one.

I forgot to mention when I hit it a few days ago, but CRP 50 now...

Working on FSH now... and I want to stab myself in the neck... think it is 39... 11 to go...

So, 4 crafts at 50, ARN at 50.. by next week, hopefully FSH and GSM at 50, but my dad and stepmom coming to visit me from NS so, probably not :(

I just got all crafts to level 15. :]

I'm going to race WAR to 50 now, because our raid leader is trying to sneak it to 50 and become an off-tank.

I'm on Titan HM with my WHM now.

Not sure whether I'm going to do it as SMN third, or wait and do it on my WAR third....
