I'd say it's annoying for the healers, if they're worth their salt they position around you, not the other way around.

u gotta be kidding me, that garuda ex is so damn easy done by melees!

It really is. Kill Chirada first, if your group is fast wait till Garuda Wicked Wheels to jump/dash in. Burn as normal, gtfo after Suparna casts friction. Collect Loot. Bonus points if you're geared and can buff up to eat the wheel.

inb4 ppl begin to only kill chirada first for melee group. Our group kill surpana first and our DRG melee have no problem with dodge the WW

I still can't understand the timing for Whicked wheel on garuda EX in the tornado phase, while on Ifrit EX its really hard to do a single mistake as a melee ~ ~

Seems to be affected by their health. After a certain time passed, they start Friction, and at a certain % of health, Downburst and Wicked Wheel. So if you bring the health of one of them low while the Friction is casting, Suparna will cancel and go straight to Wicked Wheel, same with Chirada and her Downburst....

That's what I think. I noticed that the "Friction canceling" happens more frequently in farm groups focusing on one harpy.
