ExKage, I main BLM, so I'll tell you a little bit about how to BLM in Titan HM.
Some helpful tips:
Use Sprint. There's absolutely no reason not to. Your job doesn't use TP, so feel free to burn Sprint whenever you need to get there faster.
Landslide is a physical damage ability. This means that if you have Manawall up, Landslide will deal no damage and will not knock you back. As Manawall has virtually no other use in this fight, just cast it on cooldown and use it to eat Landslides whenever you want to stay safer or just stay still and do more damage.
The safest spot in the world during Titan (HM or EX) is right on his ass. Trying to maintain range in this fight actually makes it harder on you.
Try not to hang out too far from the healers, so you'll be hit by Medica/Succor during stomps. Tumult is elemental earth damage, so Manaward will protect you from it if you need a bit of a buffer. Remember that all defensive abilities take 2-3 seconds to fully apply to your character, so make sure to precast Manaward before you think you're going to need it. The duration is short, so don't precast too soon.
In Phase 5 especially, stack for Weight of the Land. If your group stacks for weight, it becomes impossible to accidentally kill your party members by spawning weight underneath them. When running out of the stack of weight, cast an instant-cast spell to force the server to update your position (throwing Scathe on Titan is a good way to do this). This makes even more sense when you realize that during Phase 5, Titan will always stomp before casting weight, so moving to the center to get Medica spam is something you'll be doing anyway. Stack tightly and your WHM can even use Cure III effectively.
Memorize Titan's rotation or write it down on a sticky note and stick it to your monitor. This will help you more than anything else, when you know what's coming and when to expect it. Titan, like most of the Primals, has a very scripted set of abilities that he never really deviates from. The only random element of Titan HM is in which players are targeted for Weight of the Land and Granite Gaol.
Send me a whisper or a PM in-game (Aeriyn Ashley) and I'll help you out.
