My first attempt with using the "JP" triangle strategy for Garuda Ex!

Triangle is a good, safe strategy. The only down side to it is that Garuda remains immune to damage the whole sister phase so the kill takes a bit longer as the tank on her can't do any damage (or DoT capable DPS can't DoT her).

so the kill takes a bit longer

That's heresy amongst much of the playerbase, who would always bring 7 DPS and 1 healer to every fight if they could pull it off even 1% of the time.

Honestly, I think most people are just ignorant and don't know any better. They just follow videos without even understanding the underlying fight mechanics. Adjusting to different strategies in Garuda only takes small changes but people are just afraid of the unknown and breaking the established patterns, even if it would make sense because of party composition, gear or player issues.

The funny thing is, the 3-way split is just the Garuda HM method most people use but spread across the entire arena. After helping people with Garuda HM and volunteering to single tank it, I was told that's not how it's done. The same people then refuse to use the 3-way split for Garuda EM. It makes no sense!
