Garuda's Wings Clipped: "Where The Wind Blows"

[Sigmakan]

Wait wait, I thought you were AGAINST 'easy mode' yet you want them to post screen caps and strats?

Got it.

lol the complete and utter level of strawberry jelly in this thread is overwhelming...

you'd think you'd be used to it by now >< just wondering where you guys able to kill all the plumes before they damaged the rocks and if so does Garuda still destroy them?

Congrats BG!

a) 3 BLMs is not class stacking
b) BG isn't locking anyone out of content. They're going for a world-first-fast-as-possible kill. Why use anything other than what gets the job done?
c) Nobody is forcing you or your LS to use this strategy.
d) PUGs might latch to the "easy mode" strategy -- if you don't like it start your own PUG and buck the trend.
e) One dedicated, skilled group (undoubtedly among many) beating this fight in 32 tries over 7 hours does not make this an "easy" fight.

Speaking purely about PUGs: People will, as a group, gravitate towards the strategy that generally yields the most wins since these fights are all farm-fests anyway after the initial discovery phase. Once people have the weapons they want/need (or give up trying) is when you'll start seeing more willingness to try non-standard setups.

If your LS is not willing to take you along because you only have DRG -- time to get a new LS -- that is a clearly incorrect fit (note that neither the LS or player are "right" -- there is a difference in values.)

Personally, I'm looking forward to my first win... oh... perhaps by the time 1.23 comes out

no we did not kill all of the plumes in every attempt and yes Garuda destroys all Pillars when she uses Aerial Blast.

Delsus needs to keep his mouth quiet and refrain from useless posts about "HE" wants to play.. stop making useless points, goddamn troll.. Im just starting to believe that he really just dislikes BG.. Ive followed BG since 2004 with 11.. elitism is A OK in my books, in fact I endorse being the best you can be, apparently Delsus likes just lacking with lolDRG onry comments..

seriously? is it really worth getting all worked up, you made me think of this with your post

edit basing on your 8.59 kill, be 7hrs 40mins

O-oh my god. That's exactly what I put for the win time. I might have won.

On-topic:

>> implying you know what our members enjoy
>> implying we don't let melee do fights

you have lost all credibility to anything you have ever said or will ever say in the future. you are butthurt and I truly pity you and on that point I'm done trying to permeate your limited mind with reason.

This is something I can get behind. I'm fine with people not wanting to class-stack etc, but claiming that people who class stack aren't having fun or aren't on the jobs they want to be on is absurd. I've had plenty of cases where I tried to convince people to not class stack but they still all preferred and wanted to be on BLM et al.

Kudo's, I was betting on you guys beating it even sooner, but clearly the fight was as difficult as they described.

Also claiming that a group beating content after 7hrs of it's release means it's easy is laughable... the level of skill and having to break down different aspects of the fight is what allowed them to beat it so fast. Even so, would we really want a fight that takes arguably the best group of players more than that long to beat?

All I'm saying is post a melee win (dont even need a stratagy if you want me to work one out), a few screencaps taken through the fight to show what stratagy it was will suffice, all I have seen as a stratagy (with the exception of 1.19 ifrit) is ranged attack, BLM/BRD only you always say content can be done with a melee setup but never post it, so people stick with the ranged setup, you have said everything I have mentioned can be melee'd but you have never posted anything so people do not do it they stick with what they know.

Wouldn't a "melee win" count as class stacking? Multiple melee classes filling half the party vs multiple ranged classes filling half a party doesn't seem that much different to me. You're either winning by mostly ranged damage or winning by mostly melee damage. I don't really get your logic about class stacking.
