GARUDA New BLM Burn

[Zozor]

I realize there was more than 1 blm in the OP's video, but since it's not all blm I really don't see why people think this is a blm burn.

To me it just looks like a normal party that happens to use blm for DPS instead of melee.

I'd be interested in seeing a part of nothing but mnk. I know it could win and it would make a fun video.

i think your comment is quite optimistic. A lot of people still prefer throw blm at everything, and they deserve a burning inferno

So? Who cares what people throw at stuff, my point was you can't argue that everything is BLM burned when it actually the opposite. Some people prefer BLM burning though because it really isn't hard to thunder combo. I was just stating that you can pretty much Melee burn just as easy as you can BLM burn anything. Hell, WHM burn kills moogle fight faster then anything else. Should we QQ about that to? People who BLM burn usually do it because it's easy mode (as in doing thunder combo and standing in one spot isn't hard) but really it usually isn't the best way of beating something.

You're the first to attempt using a FEW blms on Garuda?

Hardly.

Congrats and all but... that's not a blm burn.

To summarize what was done in the video:

SETUP - WHM PLD BRD BRD BLM BLM BLM BLM

Enter + Buff
100%~90%: Light nuke / DPS get full TP
@ 90%-> first teleport + plumes
89%~65%: Full Nuke, save abilities (convert etc)
@65% wait for teleport (mages heal full MP)
65%-20%: Full Nuke, Brd 2hr ballad
@20%:Astral flow is forced 2nd BRD 2hr ballad (1st bard madrigal-ACC song)
20%~0%: Full Nuke/zerg-> Garuda only, PLD holds all 3 adds(flash+2hr)

This makes the fight simpler in many ways removing the need to deal with chirada/suprana, guaranteeing the max time from garuda's teleport @ 65% till the astral flow which is forced at 20%.

Gear required is nothing spectacular though I would not think u could do this in pure AF/no melds.

BLM: 500+ACC+song (target garuda only / don't mpk urself converting before 2hr)
BRD: 450+ACC+song (keep at least 2 towers alive fully, should be able to keep all 4 towers perfect till 65%'s 3rd teleport, coordinate the 2hrs and songs so you each use 2hr ballad, and madrigal doesn't drop)
WHM: keep ppl alive, bene after astral flow, AOE-SS before
PLD: hate is not an issue on garuda since u have your dps waiting alot early on, 2hr for picking up and holding adds while things get burned down fast, make sure to keep all 3 facing AWAY from party.

=) this is what I got from watching the vid.

Close. First off at start PLD is going to run in and grab hate. All others get off a melee attack or two on Garuda, then Ramparts. Everything else is correct except Bards are 2-houring Minuet instead of Ballad.

tried this yesterday, we got garuda to 10% with a pick up.
I think its important to explain two things:

On last plumes bards will need to combo wide volley instead of just using 3k TP rain of death.
Also if the bards screw up even a little, its done. You all died.

This setup puts a low of weight on the two plume killers.

[KrissKringle]

You haven't done much of the relic then because most of it is better done NOT BLM burning it.

Now that I think about it, ifrit is like the only thing I BLM burn anymore. Well would BLM burn since I haven't done ifrit for months and even then people don't even BLM that anymore.

Ignorant comment is ignorant.

Try BLM burning Ifrit extreme. I dare you! LOL

Wouldnt a decent warrior be better for this kind of thing then because you can just steel cyclone at a certain point and still hit the first 2 pillars? I really doubt that a bunch of terribly geared blms could pull hate off a half decent warrior as far as garuda goes. The end result would probably be the same but with a bit more leeway as far as the front 2 pillars go.

Either way congrats i guess? You beat content that came out almost half a year ago. Good job. I was more impressed by whm moogle burn though. I think you guys need to step it up a bit.

how about whm burn for ifrit? would work also well like for moogle


or even better wind beats -> fire

I am not from the OPs party. I just tried their strategy. You're a being something of an ass, in any case.

Also, hate isn't an issue with blms because you let the tank solo to 90%.
I'm pretty sure wars can't one shot SC plumes, so I doubt it'd make a considerable difference.

Although it might hurt stray plumes enough to light shot them more easily... its worth a shot, to say the least.
