Yes, this is a joke / troll thread. Funny how most people taking it seriously.

yep thats one of legit ways to kill her

[carraway]

Ahhh I love all the ppl manning up and saying "garuda is ez mode". I also wonder how many of them beat it before ppl told them how to beat it. Geeeee I wonder~

Garuda is easy post-patch. We beat it before people told us how

Not really a legit kill phase 2 was skipped. Did you kill it post patch? Because in my experience phase 2 kills a lot of people due to latency and overall bad servers.

Did you kill it postpatch? You can still skip phase 2. We were farming it this afternoon. We still do phase 2 in a large percentage of our clears though, so it's somewhat irrelevant.

No didn't stack blms pre patch. Like I said there is terrible server lag and it hurts you really bad during phase 2. She ports around people are behind her or not in her cone range and still die, cause the server thinks they got hit even though they weren't in range. Haven't tried it at all post patch yet.

Pretty much the same lag issues the game has on any of these fights. But if I had to rank them in difficulty it be, easiest mog, then ifrit, and finally garuda hardest. Mog is like the only fight where latency doesn't totally screw you over. It can with flare but that can be prevented with positioning.

If she teleports to the side there's still plenty of time to run opposite side and avoid getting hit. If she teleports somewhere in the middle she always faces the tank. Just have people stand way away from the tank when you know she'll port.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with latency post-patch. Although the action bar delay on displaying cooldowns/activation is pretty goddamn annoying.

SE really should have a Garuda achievement for those who can do her for longer than 10mins.

that would make it pure skill play.

I think people would just stop dps and hold Garuda in phase 1 for that lol. Maybe make it an achievement for killing clones 3 times in 1 fight or something. The "speed" achievement is pretty meaningless since it's the safest and most reliable way to win in the first place.

thats why Square Enix is thinking of introducing different stages of difficulty.

normal mode, hard mode etc.
