MT Garuda ex

[Gourry_Gabriev]

Once the you practice it a few times, the pattern is pretty easy to get down for tanking Garuda+Suparna.

The very first double ww comes after Suparna casts friction, so as a PLD I use rampart+foresight and flash for the chance of a dodge.

All add phases after that, just pop rampart+foresight shortly after Garuda spawns the tornadoes and they will still be up when ww hits. Of course you also use flash for these too.

With this method, bulwark and sentinel are still available should you need to eat another ww due to things going wrong, or you can alternate them on add phases for the additional mitigation if you need. Also Stoneskin yourself when possible.

The first WW is about 10 seconds once tornados starts if the support is doing their job(and throwing down sacred, super virus, virus, eye, aqu, etc) You shouldn't even need a CD (though obvious taking that chance is fool hardy). Very easy to time since once tornados start, everything should be piled onto garuda/suprana.

(blms/SMN are notorious for derping until you call them out on virusing suprana)

The only thing is the 2nd batch which has feathers. That's where most MT die, and need to be on the ball.

Basically MT's really only die 1 of 2 ways, Lack of support, or lose thier defensive CD due to stupidity.

Tanking will only get harder from garuda not easier, so it's really something tanks should be learning anyway. It's not going to get easier.
