I will say this about Garuda so far....

[Richard_BG]

I thought that was what you were implying when you said it wasn't difficult, combined with that screenshot, combined with the statement that its going down by multiple linkshells soon after maint. I was assuming and you know what they say about assuming lol.

Really I just wanted to reiterate the fact that it may actually be a shit-ton harder than you got to experience up to that point.

It might be /shrug we have no idea what the last phase will entail. We've seen everything up to the clones. Everything up to that point has not been difficult. That is a little more precise than my previous statement. Happy?

If anyone wants to check it out Garuda (lvl 40) before maintenance is over...

If I didn't picture you as the spitting image of the comic book guy from the Simpsons while posting that I wouldn't have even responded.

Worst...Garuda...Ever!

I do believe the very first thing I said was "it's fun" but also "not difficult". Worst. Troll. Ever!

herp derp second attempt. It's going down very soon after maintenance by multiple linkshells lol.

how is the fight btw? like does it have phases to it? is it similar to the 40 fight.

I don't know man, it was evidently good enough for you to break out the photoshop for your retort.

The fight mechanics are pretty stellar - it's quite entertaining for what it is. There are indeed phases and the R40 fight does not include all of them (so people can't practice on the R40 one obv). It's largely a DPS race while having to control adds in a timely manner while also being mindful of your positioning. Execution (like and multifaceted fight) is pretty key while maintaining high DPS. We have yet to see the last phase due to server issues but we came close before getting booted.

I live in CS5. Don't flatter yourself :3

damn you SE, lol... So who ever had low number of hours in the Garuda competition is getting shafted by the maintenance -_-
