lol

/10char

I WASN'T THERE TO SEE MY BROTHER WIN... ; ; ghhhhhhhh

Second win = epic... :X Funny story, since Lol Drg was the last survivor, and of course had no raise as BLM, we all attempted to return...got caught in a glitch where we were stuck...force dc'd, relogged back in and were back in the instance to claim the chest. Not sure if glitch or not, but thank you for the broken Garuda fight anyways(that's one thing I thought I'd never say).

grats XD and on the lucky chest

Wow, not a single negative comment from the community. What a pleasant suprise.

Grats on your well earnt victory!

AND you triumphed over the standardized group setup as well! no WAR in it! PLD instead and not stacking BLMs (well at least not 3 in it^) ! aussum.

well but anyways. Congrats from me! a good mix does it. but we see that you have many aeo power in it for the feathers.. 2 bards and 2 drgs. but i am wondering how you have done it with just one real tank.

Not a world first. Also they weren't blindfolded. Plus, they need to lose the healers. Heals are for noobs who can't dodge every single hit ever, especially when tanking.

No, seriously though, congrats guys. That's pretty awesome.

Nice to see people actually play this fight how it was intended to be played. Grats!

Well Our strategy wasor atleast cause i was stupid and didnt hear that the shell wanted both Drg to take care of the Plumes i stayed on Garuda while the other and the brd took the plumes. Getting her down to the Clone phase. The when the clones came the take having a ton of hate on Garuda, Targets Sapurna and helps the Drgs kill her faster. The Blms have no problem burning down the Magic weak one. But is by the 2nd Gaurda might not be at the Hp to really burn her down when she spawns the second clones so we bid time just alitttle longer.IF she gets to the 3rd set of clones blm might be out of mp so Drgs step in and help by saving Dragonfire Dive for this reason. Then by now Garuda is at the HP to burn her down. And if instead that Garuda decides to do South Wind Dragoons save Rings of Talons for this to kill that S plume. And can use it to kill the other plumes if they have keen flurry up at the time. (We usually save the tp after first set of clones incase she does do south wind.)

Hope this helps!

Good job guys, Garuda is definitely a fight that takes alot of frustration and dedication while learning the battle mechanics to overcome.

Aegis Knights.
Poster is on Masamune.
Disappointed.

EDIT: But still, conga rats! Hope you got some wicked sweet loot >:3

so on the try before our second win i had just posted that we had finally won. and we had garuda down pretty low. Then i thin Yoshi-p saw the post and was like.

"Aegis Knights aren't suppose to beat Garuda!" /Suppression Harpoon

Threw his cigarette and coffee to the ground, turned to the window and harpooned the Transformer outside the SE building and Made us All R0 at the same time.

(Congratulations) It may be late to the party but it's still more impressive than a week 1 BLM burn.

It wasn't easy, I assure you. :eek:

We found out that if the tank is fast enough, he can voke Suparna away from the mages, and then cover the BLM that's most likely to gain hate from nuking. Tank has to be really quick about it though (helps to have good communication). If done correctly, the hate from Suparna will get taken by the DRGs, and the Covered BLM won't be knocked back into the wind, with just enough time to kill off the sisters.

The rest is knowing where to go when the winds change. That took a bit to learn, but again, I had a good team who'd been doing it a lot already, with good communication.

It was still pretty stressful :eek:

Congratulations on the win! For everyone shocked about PLD tank, PLD is actually really good for the fight with the semi-recent changes. I got my first win (post patch) also using a PLD tank.
