This game is not for Melee

[MrDiezel]

All I have to say in regards to this topic is: Garuda Ex. I have been trying to down it for 2 weeks, I've only been relatively close (30%HP) two times. Im confused as to what the problem is (besides difficulty), but I do play as a Monk. As a melee DPS, I need to be catered to for this fight and I feel bad for it. Too many jump phases to capitalize on GL3, not enough AoE to help with plumes. Main concern is Chirada/Suparna split with Tornados. Solo Suparna is fine. The tough part is Shoulder Tackling past tornados to Garuda/Chirada/Suparna HOPING you dont happen to get hit by 1 or 2 Wicked Wheels.

Then hoping your tank is tanking in a spot where Melee can safely avoid additional Wicked Wheels.

THEN hoping between transitions, you maintain your GL3 stacks.

Before you ask, I do know Suparna's Wicked Wheel rotation. Garuda's I do not. And if I ever figure it out, it is still rough to follow both Garuda and Suparna's rotations. Which is why i ask OT to pull Suparna, and all range DPS to focus Chirada in case i do unfortunately get smacked by Garuda's WW.

It hurts me to know how hard it is to be completely useful in this fight as Melee DPS. Especially Monk
