all blk grp on garuda

anyone else think its stupid? like, really? such an easy cop out.

EDIT to forum topic: what do you think will be the new norm for garuda after they fix her?

Garuda weapons are the equiv of a plastic water gun anyway.

But yea it's cheesy.

i don't mind the farming with the method, but i just hope the majority get their first win with a more legit way.

Many haven't.
And when it's patched they won't be able to beat it at all.

oh i agree and to me that's the bad part of people winning the first time with this method and then only running it that way afterwards.

the only thing is that once they fix this method the community will find another method that they can beat it just as consistently with.

I came here to see the info on a BLM x 8 garuda fight. /sigh

nope, chuck testa

does it really matter the weapons really arent all that great like what is it only the sword and claws are the only decent ones?

its the principle of the matter.

would you rather have fun trying out different grp comps? or stack all blk and kill her in like 5 mins?

Actually I think as far as general use goes all of them save for the WHM one are BiS. I suppose people may still prefer other options for BLM as well, but for the DoW weapons there really is no question now that we know stat caps on weapon skills are based on DPS and not base damage.

bumping for OP edit

though most ppl will always pick efficiency. thats the problem

Personally, my group is kind of waiting til the fight is repaired now. No telling what will happen with the way things have gone with this. If Yoshida is encouraging players not to use the black mage stack it leads us to wonder if they have plans to roll back rewards for winning that way or something else. Either way, there are lots of other things to do in the game still and I'd rather really go at it after the changes. ^^

yeah im kind of hoping for some kind of roll back aswell for the blackstards abusing it :P

lmfao blackstards didnt we just have a ls discussion about this word XD. Hell yeah I'd love to see a roll back for the people that only did blm burns. Who knows hopefully SE wont be so forgiving in the future. I like what they did with salvage, people were duping items like hell then one day 11 lost a good portion of its endgame players to the almighty ban hammer and they never fixed salvage. Like it was ment to stand there as a testament that SE will ban your ass if you do it. Yoshi said no one would get banned for using Garuda's exploit but he did kindly ask us not to use this exploit and what happened? People went into a frenzy to exploit the shit out of her before they patch her. I'd love to see a letter posted by Yoshi saying "Yes we said it was a development error and asked everyone to re-frame from this style of play but you all did it anyway so dont be surprised when you log in and you have no Garuda weapons and thank you for your cooperation and understanding and have a nice day;)!

yes... and how do you know if I closed garuda with mana burn or not?

Have you seen Van?

Edit: lol @ people thinking anything will be rolled back.

I wish they would have patched it day 1. But meeh.

There won't be any roll-backs Yoshi already said so, cause as Momo said, you can't tell if it was a burn or a legit kill.

And yes, this should of been patched before they went on vacation.

So many scrubs beating it this way who can't do it legit.

Theres already been a post on the jp to english thread. The only thing they are fixing is the hp thresh hold for AB. BLM burn can still continue.

It won't be able to.
HP less than threshold... instant astral flow then wipe.

i thought this thread was gonna be more racist. all blk in the title is a lil misleading.
