Predict the Fall of Garuda! (04/13/2012)

Their pattern is: spamm first and then there is a whole lot of nothing.

Who wants to bet that the people who get the first garuda weapons will be the people who took part in the contest and not the people who actually got the first kill?

[SwordCoheir]

She sounds so vicious and looks epic, very excited, sad to see it looks like Gridania, was hoping we'd get one in Limsa (could be wrong tho). Like the hint lol but that is the same thing they said about Moogle, and it was killed 3 days faster.

EDIT: Infact I am pretty sure its Coerthas now, which is freaking epic, love that zone!

Well there is a difference between King Moogle and Ifrit strats, one is the Mogs played regular jobs and while some of them were quirky they were all pretty predictable in what they were doing. Ifrit on the other hand was single target, progressively got more difficult as the fight went on and his moves get harder to avoid/predict (not to mention being the first primal fight it took us some time getting used to it). I'd say given that information it probably wouldn't take quite as long as it did for someone to take out Ifrit the first time, but it would probably be a bit longer than it did for us to take out Mog. Then again, game mechanics have changed and we have Jobs now so maybe not.

It's definitely Coerthas, while exploring the region for Atherites a while back I found a node up near Feathergorge, which is a stonesthrow away from Natalan.

I think Moogles just give you a LOT more room for error.

I'm not sure why, but I seem to get the feeling that Garuda will be blowing us all around while we have a choke enfeeble on us. More dastardly so, she'll put heavy on all the WHM and blow the tank across the stage out of range of healing. ; ;

I... I think I'm scared...

[Jinko]

Aerial Blast is gonna suck...

I hope they add something to it other than just "Oh look! Heavily damaging elemental attack!".

Maybe have it push you and your party around the battlefield. Can't move while casting you say? *Gardua laugh*

You can cast during push back so I laugh back at her.

That would actually be a really awesome mechanic for the fight. Too bad there probably won't be anything like it.

I could quite easily see Shiva doing this, encasing a player in ice or something.

1- Heal the player through the damage
2- all DD have to break the ice before it kills the encased player.

Awww now I want shiva

I hope Garuda has blades of wind which fire out in random directions.

Expect Chokega also, WHM better get their Esuna at the ready

[HiirNoivl]

I know. This is going to be the most fun fight or...

3 WHM

2 BRD

3 BLM

1 WAR

Fight it against a wall so you don't get blown around probably

[Doho]

It'd be cool to if they actually made you inflict gravity on her to keep her from flying so much.

Blizzard combos ftw!!! Oh wait... FUUUUUUUUUUUU!
