Hey there, Lutra/Rhesh'ir!
I, too, struggled with Titan HM until I decided to run him with my linkshell instead of PUGs. In short, I sympathise. Now, for what I have to offer. My Roegadyn's main class is WHM, his iLevel is 76 (last time I checked) and I would be more than willing to help you out! Unfortunately, I'm am from the UK, so I play on GMT. As such, the earliest I can help you out is Saturday. Â If that's okay, feel free to hit me up in-game!
In case it's not, here's some pointers for Phase 5:
- Upon initiation of Phase 5, Titan will be MAAAAAAAAD! So, before he lands and Tumults y'all to death, make sure you have the following buffs and HoTs on as many party members as possible: Medica II, Galvanize (I forget it's buff), Regen, Stoneskin (not vital, but it helps a lot!). When he's jumping, this is when a WHM should pop both Presence of Mind and Divine Seal. AKA Fast, big heals. Whilst he's tumulting, spam your AoE heals (Medica and.... Succor? I think?). These buffs and HoTs tend to cause all havoc for aggro mitigation, so make sure you have a good tank on hand to grab Titan back from flattening the healers.
- During this phase his Rock Bombs will begin to spawn in a different formation, namely the "Three Lines" formation. When this happens, you need to run to the last line to spawn, as usual. Then as soon as the middle line blows up, run to the middle and you'll be all clear.
- You'll start to see Weight of the Land a heck of a lot more during this phase. There are multiple tactics to this, but my favourite is to have all the DPS and healers line up across the middle of the platform. When WotL pops, each party member can then use the Q and E keys to strafe out of the AoE. Little note: It seems you can only get out of WotL in time by using the direction keys. Apparently, running out diagonally takes too long?
- Finally, an attack exclusive to phase 5 (usually when he's below 25%): Mountain Buster! This is a frontal cone attack which should only hit the tank. This little beauty hits the tank for approximately 4000 HP (provenly more if it hits any other role... Stay out of this, it will one shot you!). The best ways to minimize the damage inflicted is to anticipate it around the 25% mark and use Stoneskin on the tank. Casting Virus and the Bard skill "Rain of Arrows" also help reduce it's damage ever so slightly.
Now, most of the tips I gave you would require a WHM. As such... Good luck finding one! Or, if you haven't found one by the weekend and gotten him down, hit me up! I could ask around in Broken Chairs, also, as we have some experienced players.
