EM Garuda melee.... how?

[Taleon]

How geared was the Monk ?
My pug group rotated members a number of times, at one point there where two of us Dragoons in there, and both of us could live through the spin. Rest of the time, I was only melee short tank.

[T0rin]

Or just learn the fight and don't have a parser do the only hard part there is.... that is a weak suggestion, in my opinion.

I suppose you're the kind of guy who likes to do Dive Bombs and Twisters and everything else just going off of the cast bar too, huh? Weak suggestion? Sure.

Its a pretty easy mechanic, just make sure you never DPS Suparna or Garuda when they are stacked together, you can eat one but you cant eat two.

Our monk is i86, we never DPS them together, he was dying to a single spin kick thing on a single add, many times. Perhaps you can survive it with a bunch of vit accessories, but not with just myth/allagan.

As I stated before T0rin,
I took the hits many times. No Vit accessories, only Myth Allagan gearing and food.
I have DPSed them single and together. There is a mechanic to watch for and avoid to help :P

i88 DRG, I had this issue once, we had the Red add stacked on Garuda and was DPSing it down and of course I died to Wicked Wheel. Next attempt though I was ready for it, and popped Feather Foot + Keen Flurry. Surprise, I did't die. I think its more about just putting up some defensive cooldowns.... or just sit in the back and wait and take the dps loss.

It's called Wicked Whirl, and yes it 1 shots melee.

So much for designing encounters to make melee viable, huh?

Ya know this is exactly what I thought when I was fighting the last boss of Crystal Tower. Was thinking "Wow this is easy for any melee... sucks to be a ranged player" =P

I am thinking something may actually be bugged with the damage it does. I have seen videos and heard reports (here) that the aoe is a joke. I have also seen videos where melee get one shot/nearly one shot. I am was in i82 on my last attempts and got destroyed.

It is possible there is some trick to the damage they do with it but I haven't seen anyone say anything about it.

[Ooshima]

which spinning kick? I got lost here.

All I recall for the sisters was, Chirada will first do a slipstream which is just dodge, it will be followed up by a marking on one of the DPS like WP's slime boss. Just get the DPS to stack together and eat it, the damage will spread out to about 1.5-1.7k among the 4 DPS. If there is only 1 DPS standing in front of Chirada and eat it alone, it will be about 6k plus.

After this it would be slipstream again if she hasn't die yet.

When you see the Fracture (at least I think it is fracture) being cast, you know you need to move soon. Our monk was dying like 4 times every pull at first, until he learned when to move. After that, it is easy to handle. But yes, it will always one shot kill you if you take it. If you don't have a Parser with an alarm feature, get one.

There is a parser with an alarm?

You can dodge Wicked Wheel, was just doing that fight a bit ago. They do Wicked Wheel after a Friction, sometimes with a Downburst in between. As long as you move out before it hits you should be okay. In the phase with the big cross tornado, you should be able to get far enough away if you move to the edge of your safe zone on the very outer ring of the arena. Our tanks had the add on the other side close to the outer edge, creating enough space to escape the hit.
