Garuda Normal was horrible for me. Simply put: The DPS I kept getting through DF sucked (I mained WHM at the time). I came THIS close to leveling SMN (which I had always intended to be my second job to level) just to rip her apart while also fulfilling the need for a half-decent DPS myself. A couple members from my FC at the time intervened however, went in with me unsyched, and helped me finally get the clear.

(Crappy DPS in another story-required dungeon later would be the final straw and lead me to finally leveling SMN.)
