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

[Lux_Rayna]

I just don't buy the whole, "I don't wanna play x class, I leveled y class it's my favorite and I should be able to use it" thing. Sure, you may enjoy playing one class more than another, but to not want to play the other classes at all? I've seen this reasoning applied in multiple end game content scenarios across many MMOs, and I've never found the feeling to be true for myself. I enjoy playing caster/magi/wizard classes more than others, but I still enjoy playing the other classes.

Well you are different than others. I only enjoy playing lnc, and recently arc. I have no desire to play anything else. I'd rather master two classes than try and learn all of them. I much prefer finding something i like and getting to know it intimately.


EDIT: as for the topic, im convinced ppl are trolling. Melees do very well on Garuda, the only reason BG did what BG did was because those were the roles that worked best for their players. You know how many blm/brd/war stacked parties I saw wipe at even easy Garuda? Quite a few. Its sad. The mistake ppl are going to make is that they'll play too conservatively. From waht ive experienced one whm is more than enough. Outside of gimmicks like AV with the poison, you wont need more than 1 whm for much of anything.

Next, Garuda is very melee dps friendly. Its not like Ifrit who 360 aoes every 3 seconds. Garuda is pretty kind....at least until she goes berserk. After that you just gotta kill her before you all get killed. 2 whms, 3 whms, that shit cannot be outhealed. She will fuck your shit up unless you are hyper offensive.

Honestly, I think the one WHM made more of a difference than having 3 blms or 2 wars. You could have easily substitued a war out for any other melee dps and probably get the same results...assuming that player was comfortable in another role. You could easily switch one blm to another dps and probably get the same results as well, assuming again that player was comfortable in another role.

I'm sure when BG is back at it, they will find that they can successfully do a lot of different setups. That is just what happened to work the first time, calm the f down.
