Garuda Normal Needs a nerf

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I find Garuda Normal harder then Garuda (Hard). Lol.

However, we need more 24 man raids.

I have a gotten Garuda NM 2x this week and both times took 2 attempts to clear and the most recent attempt it wasn't even the new guys fault it was a drk that was horribly under geared.

The fight mechanics can be explained pretty easily

-Tank Garuda facing away from the 4 rock pillars
-When Garuda jumps, hide behind rocks
-DPS kill adds
-Run behind Garuda if she returns from her jump in the middle, max distance away from her if she's not

Nothing makes me feel better, both for altruistic and vainglorious reasons, when I find an in-progress Garuda HM.
Their tank has ditched them to go on with whatever his ego wants, while I actually pass the fight with a small bit of encouragement.

Most players couldn't find their rear with both hands, so the fact people are asking for a nerf isn't surprising.

"unlike Hardmode or Extreme you actually need to stand behind pillar during Garuda's Ultimate attack"

Is that so hard to say? honestly, that's all you need to say.

Except... that's not even true. I am assuming you mean whatever her limit break is called, y'know, the one that deals damage proportional to the amount of pillars that are remaining, yes?

If Garuda Egi can solo it then you can suffer through a few wipes so new people can learn mechanics.

Really?
Garuda is easy, just explain the fight to newbies thats what I do and they usually manage to do it after one/two wipes.
Also I'd like to point out we all did without nerfs, you did it without nerfs and with its 1.0 mechanics intact - also whay they are I have no idea since I (and much of the player base) joined XIV with its 2.0/ARR relaunch.

Nerfing sub lv50 content seems pointless and a waste, I mean if people cant handle Garuda NM whats gonna happen when they get to LV50 or Aurum Vale?

Also she happens to be one of my favourite fights and music

All of my nope. New people I try to recruit have been complaining they've been under-stimulated for the many levels before endgame.
And I don't like how people continuously attempt to play on the fact that this game is marketed at non-gamers for the wish to flatten difficulty even further, it's worrying to think how long we can go until the likes of brayflox is considered too strong. I think getting up to level 44~ is far enough for someone to wish to keep trying.
Had quite a few clean wins on Garuda SM in roulette, with newbies. Some runs hit a snag, but you just give advice and carry harder.
