I never said that. Do you not read or just want to start drama as always?

Although I find this Video cool and interesting, I don't think that strategy is easier than the regular way. To all who still need to defeat her: Our LS ignored Garuda for a long time but around a month ago we started to work out a strategy that fits our play style best. I think that's what every LS gotta do. ~3 days later we got our first kill, followed by alot of kills and now most people are 7/7 (or close to it).
We don't have uber geared players, nor the JP button. We only have a double meld here and there and some Darklight. A regular fight of our LS looks like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SllyKvGbvI
Phase 1 is easy prey. Just kill all plumes. Phase 2 gets skipped if you stop damage before 60% and continue at last plumage. It only can get nasty in phase 3 when Garuda or her sisters face in the wrong direction or the hate control fails. But overall we get 8 wins out of 10 tries. So can you.

I'm really surprised it wasn't a "1337 MLG PWN U GARDUA EPIC DUBSTEP" video

This looked pretty epic, nice fight!

It's not pillar size that matters, it's plumes fading away before they're killed, think of plumes like constant Ifrit nails.

It's good to use a THM in place of one of the BLM for "Sacred Prism" > "Sanguine Right" before "Ariel Blast".

Each pillar has 4 blocks. 16 in all. You want to have at least 8 up to be safe.

The plumes don't fade. They "explode" and damage the pillars.
