    Garuda Extreme 3 Tank way

    Don't know if anyone has bothered to try this but last night I decided to give it a go and the result was rather pleasant.

    The whole run goes as normal apart that each tank takes 1 sister.

    The reason for this run is purely because totake some Weight and danger of double wicked wheel on Mt. I know some might say you don't need this run cause a CD will sort it out,That's true but this way is a bit easier and calmer ( there is enough dps too)

    It needs 3 tanks 2 blm 2 healers 1 mnk or drg.

    Kill in order Suprana. - Chirada. - Garuda.
    And repeat.

    I bet that also takes forever. Garuda needs better enrage mechanics like ifrit and titan.

    what kind of skill/gear would he DPS need to make up for the loss of the 4th DPS slot? Sounds doable in theory but a wipefest if DPS is up to par which is a higher probability missing a DPS.

    I am with Thriar here, this sounds highly ineffective, during the first sister phase the wicked wheel comes after the first friction and during the tornado phase it comes shortly after the first slipstream so as long as the tank and healers know its coming, it way to easy to deal to necessitate a third tank. Would just unnecessarily slow down the fight leaving out that extra DPS.

    OT going into dps mode is not bad dps. Some are just better at it than others. Unchained and Berserk or even just dropping Defiance with Berserk on burn phases I can crit for 600+ on all my attacks.

    It takes as long as normal run. Try it and judge it by yourself. I've done it and it went smooth. Very easy to say it without try it. Oh and thanks for sharing Mature.

    Sorry missed this, lvl76 gear would be enough. The reason for 2 blm is to erase plumes faster.
