Garuda's Wings Clipped: "Where The Wind Blows"

It's cool to see how you guys skip the phase where we wipe most of the times. The phase after the 2hour, is pretty hard. You need to be in Garuda's back, to avoid her frontal insane attack, but you guys get Garuda down so far, that you don't need to do that phase. Pretty sick damage there! :)

That's where the triple melds / darklights come.

only to a small extent. a tight/correct dps rotation will net you higher damage than any gear can.

I'm not sure bout that. I'm watching their livestream right now, and they use a lot of regular AF gear & Ifrit weapons.

I was comparing dps from me, single meld and a guy with all gear triple meld. Thm's, I was giving 500-600 ifrit he was 900-1k

I think yea, i tried mnk one run and when i was using fist of ... i got less damage on feather, no problem on garuda, but i was doing 10 per hit with the fist and 50 or 60 w/o it.

BLM is hugely gear-reliant in order to hit higher DPS ceilings, but the other jobs don't see as much of a proportionate gain from gear upgrades.

Not on our first kill, but yeah, we did get it. Most of us haven't logged out since starting up again today.

My shell is passing the phase straight into the triplets and the 3 blms are around 18k dmg and one bard is around 12k for reference and none of them have double/tipple melded stuff just good +4 single melds.

Mages have been stacking M.Acc over Int i think around 510 is the base acc they are shooting for.

Any tips on where we should group/run when the great whirlwinds/sisters pop?
