I had been silent in these forums for long time, I think some of you may recognise me form 11 forum. I just wish to talk about problems with HM Titan.
I do think lag can be a problem, but there are ways to manage it. Perhaps the best way to help is to CREATE A MACRO that warns when the Weight is coming (tank and dps should have free time to hit the macro). If you think you have lag, MOVE AHEAD of the Weight. What lag can still hurt is the bomb drop + landslide combo, and folks can panic when reacting to that. I generally dislike the all stack together strategy, because the slow mover will always winded up dead.
I struggle with Titan, and do not even have the balls to try Extreme if I can enter (laugh). However, Titan can be made easier if pre-warning move order. Titan, except heart phase, is not a damage check; so get moving instead of thinking of completing the attack or spell (it's hard for the healer, and I know it; I beat Titan first time properly as scholar). Once you get used to plumes, you may find landslide / bomb combo and the stomps after table flip (healer-only issue) be hard. Otherwise is all about staying cool, and work together. Memorising all the move order helps a lot, but I know some can't; that is why you have that PLUMES NEXT macro. Titan also reminds me there is something to do in the game ;-).
