AF is where its at :P.. Yes the Change is good.. even still.. they did the same thing for Ifrit.. and look how long it took anyhow to get the first clear? 74hrs... Lol :P.

A flying enemy? Archers and Thaums get ready

so let me get this straight, Garuda killed AND ate the remains of Orochimaru? Do we even stand a chance?

Side note: for some reason i really want to fight the lord of snakes mentioned in the lore lol

If Freeze does 1300+ damage to Ixali king, then.....

To those of you complaining that there isn't enough to do endgame-wise, I really have to ask if you're serious? There might not be enough endgame wise, sure. You might be running the same two dungeons over and over again, yeah. But they're working as fast as they humanly can and then some. I realize you're paying a subscription fee, and that you are, to a degree, entitled to content. But they're only human, and they're pushing out content as fast as they can, it's not their fault you are unable to pace yourself accordingly.

Pretty much amazing. Great art design and music.

i like that Garuda splits in two. *_*

Did anyone notice how much hp that PLD had in the fight, at half health he had ~2.2K in full paladin AF. Hmm... Interesting =)

Looks awesome. I cant wait. But I have to for 4 more weeks. :(

hmmm so stand behind Pillar to block 2 hours. GENIUS!!! And since Garuda is bird by what they say........ and if they kept Birds weakness to piercing like in 11...... Goes 1 tnk 6 arcs 1 healers. or 2 healers 6 Drgs goes!

Pld had about 3500 hp. but look at wars hp at start of video 4268

Hi All,

This Garuda fight looks fantastic! (^_^)

Yoshida-san and company have delivered another fun Boss fight... IMHO, Ifrit and Good King Moggle Mog were fun fights in general... it's just the unfortunate crappy Loot System (No Passing) that really soured some on the experience.

Garuda's fight looks to be exciting and engaging in many ways. :)

I'll be happy just to fight Garuda and clear it... we'll see how bad and (un)lucky people will be with getting drops / "Totems" to drop after.

Great job Yoshida-san!

I can't wait! :)

ya i saw the push back effect so ppl are just gonna load up on either Blm or archers. and before anyone says that the video show that you can do it with melee. Ingame ppl will still go with Efficiency. Getting pushed back means a pause in dmg or if it damages also more work for the Whm. But it seems she has 2 knock backs 1 that pushs back with a stun effect and 1 that does dmg that killed the pld.

I think ARC damage is classed mainly as projectile damage in this game, could be wrong on that.

And I dont think birds are weak to percing, infact do the different damage types do anything, I haven't noticed yet.

Well Gla has Temper Will which prevent Drawin or Knockback but he got thrown back and killed.

Fire > ice > wind > ect....
Blizzard is the magic and all inclusive will help I'm guessing.
Wind is Agi, Ice is Int
Sounds like a serious thm/blm burner to me.
just thinking out loud. Don't hate :(

Get your facts straight, wind mobs is weak to Earth. MNK will shines.

Nah, you just think because you're a thm(blm) it'll be cake for you and you're trying to push that x,y,z class(job) is worthless by being an idiot and thinking just because the PLD died, you should exclude them.

The BRD, WHMs, BLM (lolyou) and MNK also died, should you exclude them as well? Think.

lolblizzard

The BRD appears to do a HP max + song after astral flow (1.41) boosting everyones hp. This will be why the PLD's hp goes up to over 4400 hp.

Im guessing he meant to do it before, but miss-timed

Sounds to me like you don't know how birds are infamous for silencing lil mages like yourself.

Tempered Will removes Heavy and Bind effects. I'm unaware of any effect it has on Draws or Knockbacks.

lolwut?

Even in the **cked up variant of the elemental wheel we have in this game, wind is weak to ice.

Either way, the gap has narrowed a bit and that's exactly what we needed. PLD looks like it may be viable again.

---

PLD only had that much HP with Bard's SP, and WAR had even more it just wasn't maxed out. Remember also PLD is in a full party. It looks like Paladin got a boost of maybe 200-300 HP max. Or maybe he's just wearing all HP accessories?

I'm hoping it's a boost anyway.

This is unequivocally false. In fact, it's the opposite of the truth. Wind is strong against Earth. Perhaps one should get one's fact strai... oh. Right.

You're also wrong. Wind is strong against Fire in this game. I know it makes no goddamn sense, but there you have it.

PAPER BEATS ROCK OKAY!!!!??? :D

This might be because you've never read the ability description text.

e: or patch notes

A flying mob works well against earth???
I fly I'm off the ground.
Why would earth bother me?
Wind carves earth.
Ice solidifies earth rendering it immobile.

Posting an elemental wheel from a different game, solid choice. I love misinformation.

"Earth grounds Lightning.
Water erodes Earth.
Lightning boils Water.

Fire is extinguished by Wind.
Ice is melted by Fire.
Wind is obstructed by Ice."

^^^Is from a book in the THMs guild

Why is this dumb idea even a controversy?
Facts are fact in all rpg's stemming straight from d&d
Which everything is nearly based on.

Wind = oxygen
Fire lives off of oxygen.
Wow

It's not a controversy, people are misinformed it also didn't help SE changes around elemental affinities at one point.

I honestly have no clue when this came into effect. I concede that I was wrong and I'm pleased to see this is how it works.

One thing I always loved about Pokemon is the devs understood that elements had multiple weaknesses and strengths.

Water cools Fire down, but it also corrodes the Earth which can also starve out fire; Fire melts ice, but can also burn nature up. ETC.
