Garuda Extreme Mode has too much health

She is easy we all know that, I have killed her 20+ times now. The point is the fight is absurdly boring for everyone from tanks to DDs (I asked, so if you enjoy the fight length then more power to you) and take so long because of her 300k+ health and the rest of her mechanics (DF + PUGs, not talking about full Twintania kill group here). I really think her health should drop a bit for the sake of our sanity. This is coming from a full ilvl90 BLM, I could only speculate how awful the fight is for players with much less dps gear.

My opinion anyway, will stop doing her as soon as I have the ring so it won't bother me for long, just a suggestion, no need to crucify me.

IMO increase DF lv requirement or lower em primal scale

I actually kinda agree I guess. I appreciate difficulty and I'm pretty satisfied with the fight myself, but it tends to drag a lot (never killed her before the third set of sisters show up) even with high DPS (we kill her before she teleports again, etc)

I'm already on farm mode for her, so the difficulty is not an issue for me. :P

On another note,

Ifrit Extreme needs about twice as much HP.

I'd like to see the devs beat her with ilvl 65 gear. Such a misleading requirement.

Minimum fair enough, if everyone else i90. But tell us the recommended ilvl too...

The one time I was close to beating her, the spiny simply moved back to the OT... and wiped the group. After a good 13 or so minutes of fight. Then they disbanded. Sigh... I'm giving up.
I didn't expect her to have so much health, it gets annoying after the third or so rotation.

Even Ultima is more fun than that... this coming from an AoE-hater like me means a lot.

Across the board the ilevel requirements do not match with the tuning at all, SE really low balled it and are letting people get in over their heads.

This.

She should not be half as long as Twintania fight let alone longer -_-.

Garuda hard mode has 300k HP.
Titan hard mode has 500k HP.
Why are you complaining about the HP of Garuda EM when she has identical HP to the hard mode and even less than the "hardest" hard mode? It takes arounds 2 rotations of plumes/sisters to kill her with a group, that isn't a long time at all.

The minimum requirements are waaaay too low for the tuning of these fights. Especially with Titan Extreme I don't see how a team of people close to the min item level could dps the heart in time unless they were expected to sit around raising LB or something. Even then I don't see them beating both adds before Titan got the determination buff.

Fun fights definitely. They're very much appreciated. I just think the minimum requirements for the fights would be players being extremely optimistic at best.
