Has any non-jp party defeated garuda post blmburn nerf?

My only gripe is that if there was no latency, then people with intermediate skills may have a chance at this if there was no lag. By that I mean people who have done their research/ are well educated on the fight and have fought other primals prior to. As the post above clearly indicates, only well organized hardcore players who run the instance dozens of times using a voice chat client have a chance. Unless you play alllllll the fudging time, it's reallllly hard to come by a functional party (unless you are lucky and have lots of friends in good endgame shells). I spent a week getting a static party together for this, between people not showing up and the lag (you have to admit, survival post aerial blast is pretty much a roll of the dice), it's pretty much a nightmare. I think the biggest salt in the wound is gear degradation though. Going from 100% on all equipment to 20% in 3 hours isn't a good feeling.

Maybe the problem is that you don't realize that the content isn't meant to be easy enough for intermediate/low level players to be able to beat.

Survival at any point in the fight is absolutely not a 'roll of the dice', unless you have terrible healers/tanks. Also, although lag obviously exists in the game, lag has minuscule to no effect on performance in the instance.

This. I tried tanking on Garuda without any experience with the mechanics after 2H and I wiped the pt several times. Someone else tanks who knows what to do and we win pretty easily.
(Not saying I'm a bad tank, just didn't know the Garuda fight that well.)
