    Garuda EX limit break?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to damage LB Garuda in extreme mode while she has stoneskins from adds? If yes, does it matter if it's a caster LB or a melee LB?

    afaik you can damage her, but the damage is greatly reduced. so don't do it if her health isn't really really low and you'll kill her off with it. you are probably better off to kill one of the adds with the lb and then kill her normally.

    While she has those stoneskins, she will take 0 damage from all sources. However, if you kill Suparna first, then Garuda no longer has them, even though Chirada is still alive. This means that you can melee LB Garuda once Suparna goes down; you can caster LB both Chirada and Garuda so long as the spiny isn't nearby.

    Alternatively, you can choose to LB Suparna or Chirada with a melee LB. Don't try to caster LB both Suparna and Chirada.

    Agree'd 100%. Just be very careful while attempting a Melee LB with Chirada still alive as Garuda can still do her beefed up Wicked Wheel and potentially 1-shot your Limit Breaker. If your group can, just kill Chirada off first then LB after she comes back from Aerial Blast. This will be MUCH safer than trying to stand still for 5-6 seconds and dodging Slipstream, Tornadoes, and Wicked Wheels :P

    If you insist on using LB on or before Chirada, make sure you pop defensive cooldowns first, just in case ^^

    You're probably best to play it safe. Kill the adds and wait for her to get to the Spiny/Razer phase again. That's the ideal time to LB her and risking not killing the adds before Garuda disappears is just a bad idea.

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    Thank you for the responses, everyone. The reason I'm asking is because a FC member of mine likes to use caster LB (when we don't have a melee) as soon as she summons Chirada and Suparna. He INSISTS that it does damage and is the ideal time to use it.

    I think there is about a 1 second window before they buff each other when if you hit all 3 in center it "might" work. Have not tested to be sure.
