Taming the Tempest (Hard)

[Kumaeru]

So after going really hard trying for the server first for the first couple days on Garuda we've been getting a lot of insight of other ways to do this fight.


The "push it to the limit" version that we came up with was to attempt an all out blackmage burn on Garuda to kill it before it's astral flow. Suffice to say it is pretty possible. Took some coordination and a bit of practice and testing out accuracy limits and such.

Blackmage really shines in this fight, and definitely possible to do this fight without melee jobs which almost counteracts what S-E intended this fight to do with the Suprana and Chirada adds. To be able to do Garuda in around 4min and to fully avoid Astral Flow.

Nice music choice, Koomz!

Ownage.

Very nice. But be prepared for the Melee lovers to come blow this thread up with QQing

Whoa! I expect we'll soon get an "emergency maintenance" bringing gifts of lightning resistance to a girl named Garuda.

Nice work. We'd theorized it was possible, but it's very cool to see it in practice.

we've tried this a handful of times and every time she aerial blast's around the 27 minute mark. you guys got it around the 26 in this video. dunno if it was fixed crazy quick or we're doing something wrong.

have you guys done this more than once?

edit: nice, got her. definitely gotta have the right people on the right jobs though, ha!

[Kumaeru]

We've done it a few times now.
We did it the first time quite a bit before the video, and then just tried to tweak certain things gear wise.
Had to lend out gear to lower damaging blm's in parser etc.

Definitely not an AF geared Blm fight, I'd say...

That is quite insane, some tips and strategy be nice.

Very nice. But be prepared for the Melee lovers to come blow this thread up with QQing

Its not that the melee are QQing, it is just the fact the game balance very out of whack. Once again, BLM burn party solves all... I hope SE can solve this issue at some point.
