Asmongold clears Garuda EX

It was fun to watch, but the thing I noticed is he is playing the game as if it's WoW, which is why he had a hard time initially (that and never actually reading/understanding his abilities). At one point during the stream he asked "what's a tank buster?"

I haven't really done WoW raiding since Cata, but I don't think WoW has tank busters, or at least not in the same way FF has them. So it didn't surprise me he didn't really see Holmgang as an ability worth using initially.

Every raid boss in wow has tank-busters, it's just the thing that forces the tanks to swap.

Holmgang much like Living Dead, Hallowed Ground and Superbolide are just emergency skills that shouldn't be needed if everything goes as planed.

Well you can cheese out TBs with aforementioned skills, so no, they are more than red buttons

What? Immunities aren't emergency skills. They're a core utilized skill of any good tank player's toolkit. There's a reason tanks build them into their mitigation timelines for extreme/savage/ultimate fights: they're way too powerful to not use as many chances as you can get.

Why bother with lightly skimping by on Golden bahamut's Ahk Morn x 4 tank buster rotation in the final phase of UCOB when you can extreme brute force mitigate it by going ALL CDs -> Immunity -> Immunity > ALL CDS? Why bother setting up extensive party mitigation for Shiva's 3 morn afahs in E8s when you can immunity 2/3 of the ones in the final burn?

As far as the topic, it was quite an interesting watch. made me feel like I was back in 2.1 again. It'll be fun to watch him do Titan EX, or Coils synced.
