Problem with Garuda (Hard) for the Color Impaired

[Harvestbuddy]

Development staff, I have an issue with fighting Garuda on hard mode. I know I'm not the only one but when it comes to Garuda's sisters, I can't tell between which one is red and which one is green. Like many games, they add a "colorblind" mode that changes colors to red and blue instead. It's one reason why I can't tank for Garuda.

I assume you're offtanking a sister since main tanks dont need to worry about sisters.

While I do support your cause to add something to aid color blindness, you're going to have to rely on a FC that uses voice chat. Usually when sisters come we say "Red is the close one" Or, "Red is the left one". I know for duty finder that won't happen, but CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, does the sister have a "buff" that tells you which color shes giving to Garuda, so can you check the sister buffs? Again, I'm unsure if they have that.

You're just going to have to run Garuda with a friend who can mark them for you.

As others have said, either have someone mark them for you, or memorize the name of the one with the green line that I can't remember because I'm an awful, awful person.

The sisters spawn with a random ability, it's not set by name.

If your have DPS just kill the closest one.

I run speed runs, we use 1 tank 1 healer and the DDs will just get ready to attack the sister that spawns directly on top of you, pwn that, you can kill it before Garuda/other Sister has even made it to the party lol. Then you kill other.

Otherwise, I would recommend telling your part of the situation and informing them to mark the one they are fighting, so you can off tank the one they're not fighting.

Or SE could help out by putting in colorblind mode, but I dont think they have plans to.

So the key thing to point out is the order you kill the adds does not really matter as long as you kill them quick. The easiest way to do the fight is actually using 1 tank, Tank picks up the ass from the west each time and the DPS burn the one from the east (normally bard tanks it) then burn the 2nd on on the Tank. Same method is easily used for 2 tanks just the off tank tanks the one from the east. This method keeps the adds on the outsides faced away from the group in most optimal positions.

When you have 2 tanks, with this method you can actually burn either add 1st and follow the green first if you want, but the tanks never need to worry about what they are picking up as they always get the same add, which 100% solves the color blind issue (assuming that at least one of the group isn't color blind). The other reason this method is also very nice is because for a lot of people only the line between garuda and one if the sisters shows up instantly (or sometime neither do instantly) and this allows the DPS to start dpsing the second they spawn (ranged dps) or get in range (melee) and results in faster sister kills.

Many people like having one tank for speed runs of Garuda. I'll try checking to see if I can differentiate between the two but I'm hoping they do something for those who can't see colors well =\

If your one tanking it, it doesnt much matter, the close one is usually dead before or soon after the far one shows up, and I tank all 3 regardless, if your doing it for progression then your dps isnt to the point yet where they can stomp one before he other comes, just have a friend mark the green one as previously mentioned.

They should just set it to Chirada Heal ad Suparna Boost or vice-versa, not have it be random based on line color.
