Garuda and ifrit are a joke. Depending on class titan can be hard or easy. Melee dps and tank have it pretty easy (tank by far the easiest as long as he is geared). He has a hard enrage and a soft. If you can't kill heart he instant kills you. His tumult builds up over and time and eventually will overwhelm the healing potential. Ak mixed with a few DL is more than enough to down him easily though.

I doubt the mechanics themselves will be much of a problem and I'm ahead of everyone in DPS that isn't a monk with a Relic currently(and that doesn't count pet[Summoner])
I just want to know what I need in order to not die... But I have heard 3k hp is suggested and I have 2850 currently so even AK gear should be enough...
The current plan is to save everything for Relic +1 but I might need to spend some philo on Darklight if its necessary

WHOA WHOA WHOA. Would you please take some time and explain to me why i have the total opposite notion and that melee will HARM you on this fight. Is this the only melee favorable fight?

All DPS classes are fine on Titan. Player skill matters here more so than anything else including gear. Yes there is always that "bs" latency/delay issue but you can get around that as well (this is where knowing what happens next helps). I bet people are going to keep saying you need DL on your tank but I have "one shot" Titan easily with the usual 1 tank, 2 healer, 6 dps composition with people playing offclasses without full gear and without Relic. Yes this is also with myself as a Paladin offclass with just Keep gear and a level 36 shield. Others have as well with ease, this is not just one specific case.
Of course running more gear helps especially when mistakes happen and even more so when running with PUGs since you cannot expect everyone to play well under any circumstance.
One thing I will tell you is that everything on Titan is predictable. Do not blame anything on "randomness". If you do, you do not understand the fight mechanics and may need a different approach to what happens. You can set it such that if anyone gets targeted by skilled A, B, or C that you can safely plan and execute your strategy and your role effectively. Also back to the latency/delay thing if you know what skill he uses next, which you should if you throw time at the fight to figure out the mechanics, you can avoid anything that throws at your party.

Today I learned that I would take a person with job quest equipment + ifrit weapon over a person with relic weapon and full darklight gear if they have functional braincells.
"find a new healer then if you think I'm bad!" -> instantly finds a new healer -> the healer has awful equips but performs 100 times better.
Also I'm at least going to attempt Titan with just AK gear, I've got confidence in my ability
|
Honestly I'd suggest you get at least 3.3-3.5k hp. Having just under 3k means you always have to be topped off for Geocrush and the mega ability Titan does PLUS you won't last as long as people with 3.5k+ hp since they'll be able to survive one extra stomp which can usually mean life or death.
Though I guess if you're doing it with a premade it will be kinda ok since the extra DPS can be good so the turmults don't get too excessive.
(Ps. I play a healer)

Why is melee better for titan? Because you will have to at most only dodge one WoTL at a time. Vs. everything else in the back being stupid and creating a massive area of WoTL that you have to run around dodging. Bomb rocks are also easy because titan always does one aoe swipe (you can see him do this attack) then you can just run where the tank is and dps him while the rocks blow up.

paladin in mostly lvl 40-50 gear comes to AK... lvl 35 belt. Gets AK belt in a chest, votes pass because "it has less magic def"
Um

Rofl. You'd be amazed. I queued for ak with 2 other guildies. We got a tank that had less HP than I did as a DRG. Left immediately. We also did a run yesterday with 3dps one heal with me tanking. Was very fun.

It doesn't matter. There's enough room where if you put yourself in such a position, you should do something about it. I don't understand the mentality where ranged classes have to play at max range either. You can be spread out such that Weights are never an issue and you can still get in the Scholar field for Tumult if he wishes to place one down. Also the size of the platform is enough for you to be at the edges and receive AOE heals.
No DPS class is "better" than the other for Titan. You keep claiming so because it helps you avoid your shortcomings. Just be a better player.
Oh and imagine a scenario where ALL of your DPS are melee because you keep thinking that it is oh so much easier!

Because of my short comings? Rofl. Yes, I'm such a shitty player. I had relic the same day as server first people. I'm in turn 4 coil, but you're right i'm a shitty player. Look at the way game mechanics work before you start flaming. There's a reason you only have one melee in every turn in coil. Because ranged classes are easier. They dont have positional based attacks, most of them (excluding blm) can attack and move at the same time. They can attack while enemies move. Ranged classes are easier and you're fucking stupid if you don't think so. You seem to think I play a ranged class or something. Re-read dude, I'm a fucking DRG.
Edit: melee is easier for titan simply becuase of WOTL. It's not hard to see that WOTL affects ranged classes much more. If there's 3 melee dps all the pools will be right on top of each other which is far easier to dodge than your idea of spreading out. I have no idea why you would spread out in titan. That doesn't make any sense at all. You want everyone to stack so when he does WOTL there's only one pool. I've done this fight a billion times. I've sold runs. I know how it works lol.

You claim I don't know how game mechanics yet there's more than one way to deal with Weights and you resort to only one strategy. You don't have to clump, plenty of people have utilized being spread on the edges after Tumult since you know Weights are after Tumult. You say it makes no sense to spread out? Guess what, people do make mistakes and server update latency is horrible and if you get hit by two or more Weights, you are dead. Better to get hit by one than two in that scenario assuming you are not in full ilevel 90 gear which brings your HP to over 4k and defense to a reasonable amount where you can barely survive two. Just because melee is easier doesn't mean you cannot adjust your strategy or playstyle as a ranged player on that fight. Keep thinking one dimensional, it shows a lot about how much you know about the game as a whole.
Regarding Turn 4 coil, you can bring 2 melee to it, it has been done. Monks and Dragoons both. Sounds like your tanks don't know how to utilize positioning of mobs to make melee effective. Just because a class is easier does not make it better. YOU keep thinking that you only want to bring one melee while there are plenty of groups who have done up to Turn 5 with two to three melee classes.
Nowhere did I claim you played a ranged class. Might want take a hint yourself and do what? Read!

I haven't played FFXIV (don't know what the discussions are about) but if the question is if melee DPS "simpler" (maybe not better is a good word) to play against Titan than ranged?
If so, then Infernal_dream made a valid answer. I guess saying "better" is kind of a vague statement but if it's more simpler for the average player, seems like a valid answer. Plus he was giving advice to another and in case of advices, usually people want to know which setups are the simplest to do for a fight.
Edit - I'm replying because the way you said No DPS class is "better" than the other for Titan. You keep claiming so because it helps you avoid your shortcomings. Just be a better player.
Oh and imagine a scenario where ALL of your DPS are melee because you keep thinking that it is oh so much easier!
This seemed uncalled for. Plus if it is as you claimed ('Melee helps avoid your short comings in Titan fight', except he was one giving advice to another player), then doesn't that make Melee better because it's more easier to play in that fight? Doesn't matter if range or melee can do the exact same thing but if one is easier to play, than you can say the easier one is better technically (since better is a vague word). Also if DPS between melee and range (against Titan) are the same if both are played well, then the question is which one has an easier time to play well (or basically, less room to make mistake). Then again, you can argue that melee are better (for this fight specifically) because it's easier to play in this fight compared to ranged (again, assuming if both DPS at the best playing conditions are equal).
In terms of the word "better" as which is the better DPS in terms of which can dish out more damage and clear things faster? Well, the way Infernal_dream answered really implied that he was simply saying melee (against titan) are better because it's easier (in the posts on the page). So, it doesn't seem that he was talking about that at all but just about which one has an easier time against that fight (and his answer seems valid). And again, this is advice to another player (and when people are doing things for the first time, giving them the easiest setup recommendations or which are the simplest strategies with what jobs to use seems valid). Edit - Of course if I am wrong on any points, disregard.

You haven't played yet you keep wanting to push his and your opinion regarding the matter, what?
Anyhow.. he has not claimed to have played a ranged class on Titan. Who are you going to believe? The person who has played every role for Titan and up to T5 Coil or the person who claims that melee is easier without providing the point of view of the other roles? I already stated he is only showcasing ONE strategy which caters to his strategy/playstyle. Without even showing off the other scenario, you are going to deem that the one way is "easier"?
Here I'll use an example: He says you move for the one Weight on melee. Here's a possibility of having overlapping Weights on melee positions because you ran 2 or more due to the fact that you think it is "easier" and now have to move out of melee range. How are you going to say that is easier than say a Bard who stands at range and moves for his own Weight while still keeping his damage uptime at 100% meanwhile that melee may not always be at 100%. If you are going to argue your point that melee have less Weights to deal with because you keep assuming that casters like standing wherever then you are pretty much saying only melee have brains and casters don't. Guess what, you won't progress if your healers are one of those people back there and dying. Your strategy/gameplan should affect the whole party. Just because it is easier for you doesn't mean you will just win the fight. Like it or not, healers carry the fight more than a DPS ever will. A pro group runs 1 healer for super fast kills (oh and encases are never an issue because the timing of the skill used never puts you in danger of a tank or party death), try it if you don't believe me but of course people need to know what to do.
If you want to give people advice for having the most 'easy' time on a new fight, provide multiple ways to do it since you know... not everyone has a particular class at their disposal. Are you really going to tell some Black Mage to play melee because you have no ways to offer a way on how he should do this fight? Yes you are trying to say melee is more favorable IN YOUR OPINION but you haven't even provided the slightest bit of insight from a caster point of view on why it is such.
Again, study the rotations. I bet people have even made flowcharts to how the skills are used on Titan. Really the only things you have to worry about is knowing what skill he will use is next. Knowing this and already based on your experience the best way to avoid said damage makes the fight completely predictable. An example or two: Titan encases a random person in your party, you should know that landslide is next within 2-3 seconds. After this landslide should be the Mountain Buster within 2-3 melee swings. You are the healer, you should have the tank topped off and maybe apply a debuff/buff to Titan/tank. Mountain Buster hits for some incredibly weak amount of damage, now that wasn't so hard as people claimed right?
Really the thing that held back most groups initially was the post heart bomb spawn->landslide->explosion stuff. As much as people like running to the 'safe spot' every time before landslide, it's incredibly flawed strategy because doing so can get someone in your party killed in some of the alignments. I might explain that another time if the point ever comes up, yes there's also a way to dealing with those without a single bit of damage 100% of the time.
Lastly, player skill triumphs over most things people like to say.

Well this is bloody typical, I haven't played the game for about a week and today I got a mail from square letting me know my account was banned for real money trading or something dumb like that.

I would assume someone hacked my account, though it's quite problematic that square simply shuts down your account, tells you that you can't make another one and give you zero proof that anything is wrong. Technically, they could just shut down accounts at random. I got the same thing (though my email was half a week-ish ago i think), i contacted Square Support and you can get your account back though you have to email them some proof of identity... Give me a minute i'll find the reply and quote it Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre. We are sorry for the delay in responding to you, we are very busy at the moment due to the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. Now it appears your account may have been compromised and used to advertise real money trading websites. As this is against the rules your account was banned. In order for us to unban your account we will need you to make sure that you have performed a thorough virus scan of your computer and changed the password associated with your SQUARE ENIX ID. Once you have done this if you can send a picture of your photo ID (That can be a passport/driver's license) to sel-id@square-enix.com we will be able to verify that you are the owner of the account. Make sure to include your ticket ID [REDACTED] in the subject of the email. After we receive your ID we will be able to escalate your case to our head office for investigation and they will be able to investigate your account to confirm it has been compromised and remove the ban. If once you get your account back you are missing items/gil then you can fill in this webform http://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5383&la=2&kid=68228 for them to investigate your account for any losses. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, The Square Enix Support Centre team This is unfortunately not the email I got. The email I got just stated that I had broken rules and because of it, my account was deleted. Since it was deleted in this fashion, I'm not allowed to create a new one. At the very bottom, a small notice about accounts being compromised was included, but it just lead to a general FAQ explaining how to get security tokens if your account is compromised a lot. It didn't help me at all. I am aware of this, I got the same email and the email I have quoted was a reply I received after contacting SE Support.
Oh, I see. Good to hear, maybe I can actually get the account back...
Still, pisses me off how n00bish SquareEnix are. I've had my WoW account breached and it was a breeze to get it back.
