EM Garuda melee.... how?

[Peptaru]

When you see the Fracture (at least I think it is fracture) being cast, you know you need to move soon. Our monk was dying like 4 times every pull at first, until he learned when to move. After that, it is easy to handle. But yes, it will always one shot kill you if you take it. If you don't have a Parser with an alarm feature, get one.

Or just learn the fight and don't have a parser do the only hard part there is.... that is a weak suggestion, in my opinion.

I suppose you're the kind of guy who likes to do Dive Bombs and Twisters and everything else just going off of the cast bar too, huh? Weak suggestion? Sure.

You needing a 3rd party crutch puts you in the minority of players. You should never tell someone to enlist the aid of a 3rd party, save-your-butt button. I'm sorry the game is so hard for you, but it remains a weak suggestion. As you can see, many other people can survive this fight by learning the fight.

I think you fail to see the difference between 'needing' a 3rd party 'crutch', and using one because it simply makes things easier. Offering advice of something they can easily do, to help learn the fight more easily, I don't see as a weak suggestion. It is weak to simply dismiss anything that might help you at all, simply on the merit of doing everything the hardest way possible as being a somehow superior option. It isn't. You can do learn every lesson the hard way if you want. Me? I'll take the path of least resistance, because in the end, the goal is downing the content, not struggling as much as humanly possible to get there.

There is a parser with an alarm?

How geared was the Monk ?
My pug group rotated members a number of times, at one point there where two of us Dragoons in there, and both of us could live through the spin. Rest of the time, I was only melee short tank.

Its a pretty easy mechanic, just make sure you never DPS Suparna or Garuda when they are stacked together, you can eat one but you cant eat two.

Our monk is i86, we never DPS them together, he was dying to a single spin kick thing on a single add, many times. Perhaps you can survive it with a bunch of vit accessories, but not with just myth/allagan.

I am thinking something may actually be bugged with the damage it does. I have seen videos and heard reports (here) that the aoe is a joke. I have also seen videos where melee get one shot/nearly one shot. I am was in i82 on my last attempts and got destroyed.

It is possible there is some trick to the damage they do with it but I haven't seen anyone say anything about it.

As I stated before T0rin,
I took the hits many times. No Vit accessories, only Myth Allagan gearing and food.
I have DPSed them single and together. There is a mechanic to watch for and avoid to help :P
