Extreme Primals

[Raxiaz]

i would like to see SE demonstrate us a Win video of ilv 65 Garuda X and ilvl 67 Titan X PT like they recommend

I DEMAND that SE release said video, otherwise they're just blowing it out their arse...!

My topic on the matter: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...28Garuda-EX%29

I don't even want to try for these any more.

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.

As I have explained earlier. These Primal Ex fights require zero actual skill. You just need some brains with the ability to memorize patterns and mechanics of each fight to predict and dodge their skill rotations.

You can achieve this with practice, practice and more practice fails. A good way to train these fights is with the Duty Finder or setting up a party finder that specifically states "GARUDA EX - LEARNING GROUP". Many people, even experienced people will jump in. I achieved it with some casual training on the evenings.

Once you've gained some experience, go out and join serious farm groups. You'll get a win.

I've been joining serious farm groups every chance I get that I'm lucky enough to see one on Party Finder, but for the most part your method has produced zero results for me. And I know her attack patterns almost like the back of my hand... been trying for over a month cumulatively, now...

I just Did a Pug group Garuda Ex successfully last night. The best way with a Pug group to ensure victory is LB one of the sisters. I know this is probably not a standard practice, but it guaranteed it. Then I finally Tried Titan EX, I don't think it can be done in the DF just yet. It takes a party willing to keep trying to the bitter end. Most people get mad immediately after a few attempts. If you can do Titan HM every time without dying, you will be able to pick up on Titan Ex. You have to practice and there's no better place than a Pug group. I do feel sorry for the the Uk people with their latency issues.

Reminds me of Titan HM all over again during 2.0's launch. Learn the fight as best you can in duty finder or learning parties. Once you've mastered it, try the "one shot/weekly" kills. You'll get it.

As a white mage, my average item level is about 75. I have no other level 50 jobs, although my paladin is close. I've never been to the Binding Coil of Bahamut. I have unlocked it, but I've never been there. I don't know what gear I should go for, other than working on my relic weapon zenith. I only have an end result in mind, but nothing for how to get there.

iLvl 75 should be more than fine. Did it as iLvl 82 BLM before echo was a thing and echo will buff up til 50%. If you still can not beat it after that it is a execution issue. Most likely on the tank's end of the rod.

I would however recommend investing in better gear. If not for this so for later content.

I found the ignore chirada strategy to be the easiest out of all of them. You kill suparna during tornado phase, lay down sacred soil and succor, and eat the aerial blast. Save swiftcast to revive your fairy. MT dances around with chirada and garuda til the phase change. You need at least 4k hp to survive it.

As far as titan EX, DF or PF doesn't matter. Everyone dies at post heart, because if you have one or two good dps and one healer, you can shamble along to heart phase and lose to earthen fury. It's exceedingly rare that you have everyone alive enough to break the heart, and then nobody knows what to do afterwards because they've never been there.

Nothing in a game should ever have this level of heartbreaking difficulty.

Everything in a game should have heartbreaking difficulty..... look back to NES days and earlier. . . you guys don't even know difficult :P

[Hardware_Hank]

thats funny, as awful of a fight that Garuda EX is its really not that hard and I am a tank. I do hate a**holes that decide to just start laying out DPS on Suprana as im trying to pull her though so blaming the tanks for the fight isn't always the case, I've had people AOE spinny millions of times and generate too much hate on one of the sisters which makes our jobs way harder than they need to be.

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.
