You know they have an order of things so you don't have to watch all of them at once right? For example, if spiny is on someone else and you MT want to take it next: Watch Suparna and Garuda's slipstream (easy since they stop moving) -> Pop CD for Double Wicked Wheel -> Provoke Spiny. It can be overwhelming at first but if you can't handle this, there's no hope to move on in contents. I won't go into specifics as many threads in the tank forum has discussed the timing, etc.

Also people need to not be idiots and not kill spiny plume too early.

Yep, lets not mention all the DPS that for some reason always get hit by aoes and for some unknown reason love to get hit with the debuff windburn multiple times to make it harder on the healers.

As I have explained earlier. These Primal Ex fights require zero actual skill. You just need some brains with the ability to memorize patterns and mechanics of each fight to predict and dodge their skill rotations.

You can achieve this with practice, practice and more practice fails. A good way to train these fights is with the Duty Finder or setting up a party finder that specifically states "GARUDA EX - LEARNING GROUP". Many people, even experienced people will jump in. I achieved it with some casual training on the evenings.

Once you've gained some experience, go out and join serious farm groups. You'll get a win.

Those mistakes aren't that big. They don't cause wipes.

Not to mention the bizarre choice most pugs have in killing Chirada first. So you have to sit there eating double wicked wheels until the slow ass dps actually hurry up and kill Chirada before you finally get some respite.

It's doable of course, but splitting it 3 ways is so much simpler and safer. Chirada hits for nothing (300-400) on melee attacks, and Downburst damage shared between 4-5 dps is easily healable with a single Cure III. All they have to worry about is dodging Slipstream, which is easy. But no, everyone does it the harder way and wonder why tanks die and melees get one-shotted.

I think I'm going to take a break from this game. Maybe I'll quit playing altogether. Nothing in a game should ever have this level of heartbreaking difficulty.

People were saying the same thing about titan HM back in the old days.

Oh I remember when I got Titan Hard mode. What a pain lol. Finally passed it after like a month. What a Hurdle. Samething for Titan extreme but it took two weeks. Now my hurdle is turn five. Can't find a team that can properly dodge twisters. I can join my FC but they already got a locked raid group.
