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

[Mcshiggs]

The western method requires overgeared MT, so im sure this fight was designed with the triangle method in mind. Well western players have the "be overgeared or die in hell" mentality, so it suits it.

You don't have to have an overgeared MT, if you run one healer, you can easily dps the sisters fast enough to avoid double wicked wheel, smart cooldown use and everyone avoiding feathers it makes for an easy fight without too much gears.

we kill garuda when on the 2nd tornado phase. ya.... SLOW.. ur dps is slow..

Oh don't get me wrong, triangle can be fast. But objectively speaking killing Suparna first should be faster. Not really sure what you're trying to say.

If you're killing a sister before wheels, you're quite heavily overgearing your DPS instead. Not to mention combined with solo heal it's a recipe for disaster if something goes wrong. Yes, of course it's possible to do it that way. Solo tank/heal is also possible, but I wouldn't recommend either of those are strategies for new or undergeared people.

Really solo healing isn't about gear at all, I think I was Ilvl 71 white mage first time I healed it, having the extra dps makes it to where your dps don't have to be as geared, and if you communicate with your tank, if they are going to eat a double wicked wheel, swiftcast stoneskin on them, I always eye for an eye going into twister phase, and virus garuda as soon as she and Suparna land from their jump, one maybe two tank cooldowns, and be prepped with a cure two, wicked wheel is easily survivable. Solo healing really relies on the rest of the group avoiding all unnecessary damage, and knowing you are going to be the one eating the frictions, so stand by yourself, and be sure to keep yourself healed/stoneskinned.

This requires an over-geared set of DPS then.

Full focus on Chirata with a DPS group of varied gear, has Double Wicked Wheel hit twice. With our tank nearing ilvl 90, he still needs cooldowns and shielding to survive it.

Our group has not tried the Tiangle method, but I may suggest it in and effort to make farming garuda quicker it may work well with a heavier Melee DPS group.

Either way, this is a case of do whatever works the best for the group you're fighting in. Garuda Ex is best done with a static anyways.
