This is true, you actually need great dps in order to even have a chance of winning. It is literally impossible without meeting the dps requirement. Most casual players, myself included, do not have the gear to be a viable option in Garuda...nor the skill to make up for the gear by increasing our dps through great play and risk-taking. Garuda is that primal that checks ppl into realizing they're not as good as they think they are, for those who can't do it. After I did Garuda I realized my DRG, and I, sucked. Flat out sucked. I was like "man I suck so hard, what a letdown". The whole time I actually thought I was pretty decent at DRG, but Garuda made me realize my gear and my skills were trash. So it was back to the drawing board, to learn how to be awesome at DRG in endgame scenarios. Only Garuda can do this. I've never had problems being effective in other fights, but Garuda was a huge smack in the face.

Most can't do Garuda because they lack the skill/gear to do it. Instead of admitting it, most ppl will just say its "too hard" and continue believing that "skill is not the problem". IT is always the problem.
