    Garuda EX Wicked Wheel!

    As a Tank does anyone know when she use this along with Suprana so you can Migrate the damaged, with no defend buff she one shot every time even with 6k HP.

    I know she does it when they jump up. I can get this every time, but sometime she does it randomly if the DPS is a bit slow. This seam to be the hardest part so far because of the one shot happen randomly and you have to be watching out for Slipstream on both of them.

    Anyone have any Tips or Rotation when she will use it? Thanks!

    10-12 seconds after the adds use Friction.

    Your HP seems a bit low if it's 6k in party. Our main tank (WAR) had 8,5k and second tank (PLD) had 6,7k HP when we did this today (although checking your gear from lodestone your HP seems to be higher than that and gear more than enough). That said, what we do is we have both healers use Eye for an Eye on one tank for every clone phase and also Virus right after first Friction during clone phase. Not sure what our tanks do but that's what we do as healers.

    Perhaps I'm wrong but there seems to be some sort of check on wicked wheel activation. I've been in several parties where wicked wheels were happening and well that was that. But then I also noticed on my group that actually downed Garuda EX that NO Wicked Wheels occured ever. So I concluded somewhere along the way that its either a DPS check on an add, or the stack on the adds needs to before a certain amount before friction finishes. If im wrong in all those regards, I can at least confirm from my own experience there is a way to avoid the wicked wheels altogether and considering the staggering damage they do, it makes it seems much more like a gimmick that should be avoided then damage intended to occur during the fight.

    They always use wicked wheel after garuda +1 add uses downburst. It's not a complicated pattern. Once both have used downburst once, wicked wheel WILL follow.
