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.
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).
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 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.
Hydra of Belisarius and goodmorning.
Oh, Christ...

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.
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.

BTW, this was total bullshit and unnecessarily complicated. Ignoring it FTW.
