"Difficulty adjustments to certain dungeons and trials
We will be re-adjusting various 2.x dungeons and trials, such as Garuda, for new players."


It's sorta sad to see it happen but I've run into groups with a... not-so-great healer which made Garuda an issue. I've always had to tell those friends "uhhh do your level 45 job quest(s) first". A lot of WHM will be nearly depleted of their MP by the Aerial Blast jump that reduces the playing arena through not-the-best spell usage.

Sometimes DPS had issues with killing the plumes as fast as people would like... Most groups don't even group at the same rock for Aerial Blast.

The sad thing is that Garuda story mode is the only one that I'd say sometimes has more wipes than its Hard Mode Version, or even its Extreme Mode.
