Extreme Garuda MELEE Woes

[Billzey]

Ranged kill suparna while melee kill chirada... It's very simple. Why do people not do this?

Haha virtually impossible, just take out suprana first.

Don't even have to. I usually go DRG on Garuda Ex, if i am not tanking and after Chi is dead you wait for Friction > Double WW > then you can jump over. If you have a good Tank he even can position Sup at the outer Line of the inner Tornado and as Melee you can go after Friction on the outer Edge into the small Pockets to avoid WW.

If you ask SE for fixing it, we will get what we had in 1.0 and Garuda. Gimping of Ranged DPS, so you are forced to take Melees with you. Can't wait for that and all the complain-threads.

This also works.

The problem the OP is facing, is the lack of skill from the general player base that uses melee classes. So when they keep seeing those derpgoons getting owned by wicked wheels over and over, eventually those tanks just assume melee will be a burden. All the ex primals aren't hard for melee DPS at all, it just requires knowledge of your class and the fight. After dealing with so many bad melee DPS, tanks probably join a group and see melee as a needle in a haystack and they don't want to waste time seeing if they found that rare gem melee dps.

Personally, I'd rather deal with tanking Chiarda than worry about double wicked wheels myself (on Monk) so I've always done the 3-way, kill Chiarda first method. Just trying to make a case for killing Suparna first.

People in this MMO need to open their minds. Because the FC that carries you to everything said this is how it's done doesn't mean shit in the world of tactics and strategy. This MMO is banking on a weak playerbase though I still mostly love it. Too many crutch players in this game unwilling to try things new. I don't always have the time to play with FC. I like to play with decent randoms. But it's becoming a chore.

I mean, I spend 5 minutes or more explaining the match and I swear to fucking the god the tank still goes for charuda first even though we have all ranged. It's obnoxious when you are a moron tank without the ability to properly realize what and the hell is possible with this fight.

Sorry, but the reason this fight is failing is squarely on the tanks.

Now this isn't saying there are not some excellent tanks out there. There are many. But there is a horde of idiots out there running the class as well at this point.
