Please no more melee friendly content...

We've done the fight with 2 melees just fine, I don't see how bringing melees makes the fight hard.
If anything it makes the fight easier since you bring more DPS.

Any ranged getting beat by melee on this fight are bad and should be replaced. There is far to much running around and buff/debuff resetting for melee to be anything special on this one.

[Rochetm]

maybe you just dont know the fight well enough.

If by me not knowing the fight well enough you mean tanks and healers not knowing the fight then maybe. Since when is it a good idea for MMO Bosses to require special positioning for one type of dps when another can do the exact same thing without it?

I loved Garuda X on DRG.

Only ONCE can you not attack her. (Sisters)

Get over it.

Gonna agree here. Got my win on DRG and found the fight to be a lot more manageable once I learned her mechanics. Yes I died a couple of times, but no one ever beats new content on the first try.

Beat Garuda several times and never once did I get beat by ranged DPS.
No our ranged do not suck, they perform just fine.
Maybe it's just you that can't handle the mechanics as melee?
Don't just throw the towel because you feel overwhelmed and learn to deal with the mechanics instead.
At first I was like "What kind of BS is this mechanic?! F'ing onehit?! Really?" but after 2 tries I didn't see a problem with it anymore, it's actually fun to be on your toes.
Now we take 2 melees and finish Chirada first making the fight faster overall since Chirada heals Garuda and does not use wheel.
The tanks can handle a double wheel easy with CD and it's very predictable.

This game doesn't have melee unfriendly content.

Garuda EM is another example of a fight where you take 1 melee only. I doubt drg and mnk will ever get to play together.

2 PLD 1 SCH 1 WHM 4 BLM = Garuda Ex's nightmare!

Why two healers? its completly waste of spot.. bring WHM and kick SCH for bard ^^

We take Dragoon and Monk, it works just fine once the group learns the mechanics.

I'm having a hard time with this thread. Basically the majority is just saying L2PNOOB! without really offering any help.
I know it's fun to learn the fight, and some people only want to find out on their own, but if you really don't have any constructive comments maybe just don't comment?


*Spoiler Alert*





Wicked Wheel comes after Friction. Both Garuda and Suparna tend to use them at the same time which will pretty much one shot melee. Just stay out when Wicked Wheels are incoming.

*Spoiler End!*

If you have a WHM that can solo heal it, awesome. I'm not so lucky.... Yet.
