So last night my Linkshell was waiting to start coil and we started debating what are the hardest battles in the game? The consences was TT obviously but we kept going about what we considered the hardest outside of T5.

So I pose the same question to you guys? What are the most challenging fights for you guys?
What we discovered is the anwser varied based on jobs (which makes sense because each role has different challenges in different fights)

So lets see what everyone thinks? (I'll mention I have not fought Extreme mode Ifrit or Titan yet)
For me as a Dragoon Main (but not one of the 2945785903 characters with Highwind as a last name)

- Titan has always been a pain, because I basically have to stop DPS to dodge for large portions of the fight. Aside from that annoyance its not hard to live through.
- Siren has been a pain for me so far...its an easy fight but a massive healer check and if the healer isn't on the ball its a wipe.
- Garuda Storymode is never a good fight...funny you can PUG the Hard mode version pretty easy but story mode can be a nightmare in DF.
- There is a Guildheist where you have to kill 6 demons all at once...which as a Drg (only good AoE is a front spear attack) is tough because you have to flip mobs a lot.

What do you guys think of when you think of the hard fights in the game

Siren for me as a war was the hardest, but only because I had never done it before and was told the wrong strategy going in, and none of the others stacked on her back, so adds were all over the place at all times and the healer couldn't keep up. It's also a pain that her tackle move has very little warning (since she might spawn in the middle for charm instead) and also hits a really wide area.

Titan HM is very easy for a tank, but actually getting the win in a shout or pickup group is next to impossible. Titan is more about having at least 6-7 people who really know the fight and can dodge.

The toughest fights? The ones where I have the most lag. Titan HM has always been a pain before patch, cause depending on the lag I can either dodge weight of the land fine or get hit by it all the time. I had one lagfree fight and didn't die at all. Easy win. Pharos and Haukke Manor have bad lag now. Pharos at the Dragon fight just before the boss and Haukke last night when entering the last area with the final boss. I have to relog to be able to play normally again. SE fix this so I can play normally!

Lag can make any fight difficult...I have noticed that Pharos and CT have been lagfests over the last week...I chalk it up to the fact atm everyone is running those events 24/7 because its new and lets face it WP/AK make most of us want to slit our wrists

Twintania without a doubt. Requires near-flawless execution and good luck with the random number generator.

If we are going to exclude Twin, then I'd say Titan extreme. This fight is something else that requires flawless execution but the time in which you need to react to not make an error is longer than it is on Twintania. There is no RNG involved, really: people just need to dodge. In Titan HM, you can easily do it with a few DPS down and solo healing. In Titan extreme, you need both tanks alive, both healers alive, and can only lose one DPS (if that) if you severely outgear it.

Even Ifrit isn't terrible when your healers figure out what to do and tanks manage to figure out tether.

However, I will say that ADS from turn 2 was up there until people started outgearing it. He required flawless execution too and relied heavily on the RNG. Not an issue with tanks that have 7k HP and healers who sit at 4.5k HP. When casters had ~3.5K HP and tanks had around 5.8K, it was a challenging fight.
