Extreme Primals

[Farryn]

There's a pretty tough Tank switching mechanic in Garuda EX where the tanks really have to know what they're doing. Most of the time my groups have wiped and we weren't able to complete were because of that. For other classes it's not that tough as long as you know the positioning and mechanics. I'd recommend this video if you want to learn those quickly and you're not a Tank. If you are, you'll need to do a bit more reading before you attempt it.

What's tough about provoking Spiny at 2 stacks and Shield lob/Tomahawk it to make sure you get aggro?

The tank swap mechanic in Garuda EX isn't tough, you just have to remain calm about it. My group has never missed a swap as long as both were up.

How were the tanks? And did you have melee dps who couldn't dodge wicked wheels?
get 4 ranged dps and tanks who know what to do and this really is the simplest primal.

As a MNK main, I resent that statement. I'm almost always one of the last few people to fall in every run.

Yeah let's make the extremes easier
We could call them extremeishs (sarcasm I case you couldn't tell)

Get a steady group going and learn the fight together ... Good luck on titan if u can't do garuda

This is why people don't even post on these forums anymore....why cant some players accept that everything is not easy in this game and try to offer solid advice instead of mocking people? I have not beat titan extreme yet, and I know I have no one to blame but myself because I don't dodge effectively 100% of the time. I don't flame others and I don't see how it could be considered constructive at all to anyone. The player base in this game is the worst I have ever encountered.

Keep track of surpana slipstream, keep track of Garuda slipstream, glance at spiny stacks, keep track of wicked wheel. This seems too much for avg. Tank.

You know they have an order of things so you don't have to watch all of them at once right? For example, if spiny is on someone else and you MT want to take it next: Watch Suparna and Garuda's slipstream (easy since they stop moving) -> Pop CD for Double Wicked Wheel -> Provoke Spiny. It can be overwhelming at first but if you can't handle this, there's no hope to move on in contents. I won't go into specifics as many threads in the tank forum has discussed the timing, etc.

Not to mention the bizarre choice most pugs have in killing Chirada first. So you have to sit there eating double wicked wheels until the slow ass dps actually hurry up and kill Chirada before you finally get some respite.

It's doable of course, but splitting it 3 ways is so much simpler and safer. Chirada hits for nothing (300-400) on melee attacks, and Downburst damage shared between 4-5 dps is easily healable with a single Cure III. All they have to worry about is dodging Slipstream, which is easy. But no, everyone does it the harder way and wonder why tanks die and melees get one-shotted.
