FIX GARUDA!!!

[Zumi]

Am i the only one that is really pissed about the upcoming nerf to garuda? What are se thinking?? Seriosly, atm there really is no easy way to kill garuda and finally someone found a way to kill it, and fast....it has to be nerfed? Gtfo se. Truly.

I absolutly refuse to spend another two months of my rl time camping this fight for these weapons, like i did for ifrit. F**k that. I got a life.

Btw if this does get nerfed i may just close my account, been playing since beta and i must say this is the first real issue i have ever had w the game. And its not really the game, its the devs making dumb decisions.

Explain to me how killing the fight with blm zerg, ignoring mechanics like plumes, and skip 2 whole phases and not to mention astral flow isn't broken? Its plainly obvious the fight wasn't suppose to work like that. It takes very little skill to beat it this way considering you are skipping most of the fight. All it takes is gear and maybe potions to do high dps.

Fixed for you, no need for thanks.

Yes, player line of sight, lets prevent arrows going through rocks, but only if you allow me to shoot an arrow up or down hill with direct line of sight along a traversable path. Have you ever tried to shoot an arrow at Uraeus?

Whose great idea was it to make this thread in the first place? oh yeah, some jerk who just wants attention and notoriety rather than having a logical and applicable to development idea on combat. You can cast from behind cover in D&D, you can shoot from behind cover in real life. unless we have problems with people shooting through the middle of a 25'x 10' x 4' wall, you can just shut up. Firing from behind cover or over non traversable terrain is a legitimate tactic, so long as there is actual line of sight, and casting so long as the caster is "aware" of the location to be casted upon.

@zumi.
As yoshi even said....its not as easy as it looks and its not as easy to replicate. Also too, you would need to have top gear with multiple materia ....with that said...only a very small percentage of the player base would ever be able to accomplish this method. Contrary to what you believe, this actually takes ALOT of skill to pull off. This is a chance you take with a blm burn or zerg pt....you deal burst damage until your mob is dead period. Going with the logic as stated in your post, are you saying that the stronghold nms should be nerfed/tweaked as well? There are a ton of adds and waves of mobs, but who really fights allthose, when it seems like all just zerg the nm so all the mobs/adds depop.

Having a high quality of gear with multiple materia and just dpsing the boss in the most easy phase, phase 1 does not take skill. Gear does not equal skill. If gear didn't matter then you so many more people doing it that way. BLMs nuking garuda non stop for 3 min is hardly hard at all. Having people switch to plumes, kill them all, follow garuda around for phase 2, and kill clones in phase 3 takes much more work and is harder.

Nuking non stop in phase 1 the most easy phase and getting a really easy kill does not take much skill. Gear != Skill

Yoshi:
Look at the Ifrit fight as well; his HP check is skip-able ^^

Its easy for somone who doesnt have a lvl 50 blm to say. Also too it requires a great deal to get the types of weapons that would give the great deal of dps that would down garuda in that amount of time. Double/triple melding is not only expensive, it does take skill for the crafters who make it, again contrary to what you believe. I think, to a degree you are misunderstanding what i have been talking about and assume i want it easy mode....it is not by any means. If the devs are having issues duplicating it in that time, or are unable to do what they did in the video....then it requires skill.

[yukikaze_yanagi]

melding materia require skill ? And i thought it required tons of gil and luck :|| anyhow stop your bitching : this isn't intended, and it gonna fixed.

Just AF body since it's pretty sweet for what it is, and a piety body would have no use.
Triple Meld Hat. Double/Triple meld Brand+1, HP Belt, Attack potency/Lightning Potency Boots, and some with double/triple meld legs or Sorcerer pants. Brd in Double/Triple meld gear for Pie and Dex. War had double meld str gloves and heavy darklight body and legs. Whm in double meld Pie gear (darklight boots etc) and magic accuracy gear.

Ahh cool, i didnt know that!

I find it hugely ironic that they implemented this materia system and then completely forgot about it in balancing lol.
