I was kinda FORCED into leveling something I didn't want to level to get anything done...

While I do congratulate them on a job well done.. I still feel like some people like Delsus and I'm sure other people that may not have all jobs maxed out.. will have a hard time getting into Primal fights. Including people that are new to the fight.. they have the roughest time of them all..

Delsus, I feel your pain but this is just how it works in MMO's no in days everyone wants a "Certain" thing or GTFO.. >.<

This should not be a valid point.. again you can team up with people with similar restrictions.. it takes like a week tops to get a 50.. so its not even am excuse like it was in 11..

I feel EVERYONE should at least have 1 mage and 1 melee... you're just restricting yourself by not doing so.. and I work full time, gf, training etc.. so I know excuses but literally.. its not hard at all to obtain max level in this game right now...

Congratulations! Too bad about the maintenance mucking things up.

Im sure everyone would agree how easy it is to level.. cause it's a joke now.. I can lvl an alt from 1-50 in a matter of days..

Yes its easy "for me" to level.. and sure its def. easier to level here than in XI.. but there will be people that just simply have a hard time leveling up.. New players for instance.. how can they get a group when everyone is basically at level 50? Group exp= fast Soloing- if you don;t know what your doing it can take you forever just to get to 1 level 50.

And Grats BG :)

Now to start beating my ls into the BLM/BARD/WAR/WHM set-up since it is 'the only way' to kill Garuda... ;)

Who needs a group when you can get PL'd to 40 in 2 days and do 40-50 in 2-3 more days of leves.

His LS doesn't bandwagon things he is talking in general. He also makes a good point it is now inevitable that people will go in there stacking ranged DPS. I dont think the blame is for BG though BG does what BG does and thats get world first kills at any means necissary. The blame goes to SE for making it long ranged DPS heavy freindly, they tried to avoid it but the nature of the fight makes it this way. Its still really to early to tell if this is the most effective/efficient way though, from what I hear melee completely demolish the plumes as in even Aura Pulse will one shot AoE them.

I never said my linkshell bandwagons, I have said I have been in linkshells that do, from what I have seen my current linkshell is the only one I have been in that DOESN'T bandwagon. The reason I am against it so bad is the 1-2 MONTHS I couldn't do anything because that linkshell (not in it any more) bandwagoned ARC only for DH, every time I asked to go LNC they said ARC dd only, so I'm sorry if my 1-2 MONTHS doing nothing made me heavily against this sort of stratagy.

And guess what when I was raging at my linkshell for locking me out of the only content because I don't play a job I don't enjoy (feel free to check my lodestone profile, my ARC is 16, second lowest) they said "the ARC only strat will be used for about 1 week then melee will get in" and 1 month later ARC ONLY, 2 months later I was about the only DD in the party.

Again I will not play a job I don't enjoy the game ends up like a chore, yes I enjoy BLM but when people bandwagon it it will loose its appeal.

If I worked for SE I would have pitched an idea to heavily nerf ARC/BRD and THM/BLM by now because this is getting stupid.

DH was a joke.. maybe your linkshell just thought you were to weak..

cheesy way to win but it worked for them. thats todays lesson kids.
in their defense they tried legit but had to quit, garuda was to hard so they were forced into default win tactic
j/k j/k everything is legit , it still took skiill & strategy, well done strangers.

@ synisterballz wash your mouth young man , ithats one dirty place you just put your lips on

I couldn't get into DH right away.. and I'm one of the GOOD players :/ Its all about what job you have if you don't have it? tough luck your on your own pal... DH is now easy yes but back when Jobs didn't exist and it was the only content.. it was tough as nails to even get into a party.. :/.

Love how you start off with pure jealousy then cover it up.. and man can you at least use proper grammer?? and pardon me you have no idea how old I am .. I am pretty sure you're the one showing your maturity "Synysterballz" omg good one man.. like how old are you??

I think you need to get the butthurt out of your mouth.. maybe I have offended you by upsetting your precious Delsus..

I think you need to adjust your sarcasm detector...

Congratulations, but the lack of Dragoon is a sin.

Odin demand your deaths, and in time you will receive such punishment.

I Lol'd at work when I saw your setup.. I responded to a post a few days ago saying ppl will use this exact (and typical) setup. 2x WAR, 2x WHM, 1x BRD and 3x BLM. So I deserve some credit :P We don't adapt to change! We class stack!

The only thing that encourages class stacking in this game is speed runs, and I'm pretty sure our buddy Garuda isn't dropping a second chest.

If we're going to go off on tangents that really have nothing to do with this battle, we may as well do it with style. You know what I miss? Absolute Virtue :o

damnit! i guessed 144hours, i thought this fight was going to be hard!!!

Strong work and congrats BG!

hahaha nope.. thats not sarcasm my friend.. "j/k j/k everything is legit , it still took skiill & strategy, well done strangers".

Doesn't nullify his jealously.. he can still indeed be jealous.. but covered it up my pretending it was a joke.. and he finishes off with "well done strangers" BG is no stranger.. he is the stranger..

You need to adjust your intelligence...

"Play how you like to play" is an understatement in an MMO.. The Community establishes the best possible way to do anything... then if you don't have that job to do said content.. your pretty much f**ked.

In the Soviet Union.. the Community Controls you!

His post does not come off that way at all.... comprehension skills (Do you have it?)

This thread.
It is awesome.

They said they tried multiple class set ups using all classes except for Paladin(obvious because of how useless it is) and they wanted to down it first so it would be obvious that that set up achieved it. I wouldn't doubt you could use other classes for the fight, that is just the set up that got it downed the fastest. Do realize that is basically the best Ls out there, they will eventually be able to down it in any way they like if they choose.

CG, i see some people are upset about class stacking. Lets not forget they did it with one whm which is pretty impressive. Of course im looking at the pic on the front page. maybe they went all monk and then switched for the picture to fool us,lol.

Next primal/raid when you snap the first victory screenshot have one person switch to botanist then take the picture and say nothing, just to fuck with everyone. Or 5 WHM.

good job guys

Seems I am late to the party! Congrats and here is a special message from Yoshi-P :)

/stetch good ol' 6 hour nap and we're back to work! We actually started with 2WHM 2WAR 2BLM 1MNK 1DRG and found that the second WHM was completely unnecessary as long as we played well enough (knew what to dodge, knew when to use abilities to avoid animation lock, knew the flow of the fight and what garuda was goingto do next - yes it's hihgly scripted and knew when to hit buttons to stay alive). This is a DPS race at it's core - so the extra DPS slot really helps in the long run. :)

some many jealous kids up in dis thread... i think it's funny so funny.. who cares.. wins a wins a win..
