29 Attempts of Garuda Ex - Raise ilvl Req or Fix

[SummonerSenah]

I did a pug where everyone but the healers was at least i90. The healers just couldn't keep up. I'd like to agree with a higher ilvl requirement, but it's easy enough to cheat that either by wearing at least one really high ilvl item to balance against a low level item; or by wearing another job's accessory. Unless they change the way ilvl is calculated, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. Party Finder or running with your FC or a static is the way to go. With a full FC group we've cleared it each time we've ran it, and that was even with new people in some of them.

That sounds more like someone had no clue what to do then a ilvl issue tbh. either someone stood in all the bad stuff, the healers had no clue what they did or most likely, spiny didnt't got killed/killed to early and Ruda just destroyed you.
Ruda is designed for way lower then i90.
