5:29:44 Titan Fight – final try 🙂
2:15:40 progression starts.
Kudos for sticking out that Titan fight. It was clear you were capable of getting him fairly early on but I think ping was adding an extra layer of difficulty. I saw a dead player slide across the floor a few times.
At lvl 50 its probably also a good idea to get a Scholar in the team as they have access to shields AND Sacred Soil (which has a damage mitigation component) at that level. There were specific points in the titan fight where a pre-casted aoe shield would have made your lives much easier.
15:30 As someone who has worked around fiberglass for a time one of the easiest ways to get it off is to rub whatever part is stinging on concrete. It sounds weird and isn't comfortable, but it's quick and easy and gets the job done. You don't need to break skin or scrape yourself raw, but a good rub or two will get it off. You can also give it a good washing with a cloth but this takes a bit longer but is much more comfortable. I've also seen people trying to use duct tape but it has never worked well for me. Obviously, as you said, the easiest solution is to make sure it doesn't get on your skin to begin with. But now you know a few tricks just in case. I'd also recommend wearing a mask of some kind any time you're around fiberglass, even the pink insulation kind. Those fibers can get knocked into the air and float around and you wouldn't even notice. Once you breathe them in they will never come out. So while a few won't hurt it's the accumulation over years or decades that will. You've mentioned a sore throat a couple of times on stream and if you've been knocking about your attic for a bit and inhaling that insulation that could very well be the cause.
A lot of people have retreated their communities into Discord exactly because it isnt indexable by search machines. Being indexed by Google brings all of the noise that makes the modern internet so bad with it: bots, scams, advertisments and astroturfing.
Missed most of the episode due to work, but I just wanted to say you guys did a good job despite the long prog. Prog like this is my favorite part about MMO raiding, but I know it can be frustrating sometimes; especially if you feel like you're playing correctly. Everyone sticking it out for hours and not flaming each other is a good sign.
Finding the right balance for attempts vs. difficulty will be rough I think for these low level extremes that most modern players have skipped over and never actually attempted. As you get through the expacs I think you'll need to adjust the difficulty again or some fights may be easier due to players being a lot more familiar with the later ones.
I've heard Hecatoncheries pronounced two ways when researching mythology back in college: the first is what most English speakers use which is "Heka-Tawn-Kai-Rees" and the second is how modern Greeks are saying it "Heka-Tawn-Shè-Rez".
WP, if you want to look up fights beforehand, I would suggest MTQCapture videoguides. They're ~10 mintues long, very comprehensive, and are actual guides, not just lists of abilities.

01:03:18 – That isn't the Reaper, that is a Blackmage.
03:42:37 – Look at that landslide (just after an Arm's Length too).
04:33:15 – Off-tank was jailed just as he ran in to swap with you.
Interesting Clips
02:12:42 – "That was too easy"
02:15:10 – "Let's just wing it"
03:28:48 – Pun
05:26:36 – Nice prediction
A really good reason to unlock all the things (like Pharos Sirius) is Blue Mage content! Spell hunting, ridiculous shenanigans, sweet mount. It's worth it in the end!
Also, since you have the capacity for more jobs, have you tried ninja? 😀
Another comment for the spam: said previously I started a bit before the LP and I just made my first million gil via mining a few hours after this stream.
Titan EX is such a great fight. Still the template of what a cool EX should be imo
the black mage weapon you thought was pretty (during Haukke Manor hard mode) was actually part of a weapon design contest and was created by a member of the ff14 community. Those weapon are often gorgeous and feel very new and fresh.
Lol the outro still breaks
