Asmongold clears Garuda EX

[WoW]

Why not just use one account to post here like the rest of us.

Because I already am? Oh, I forgot! I'm MPK alt rofl. Sorry for almost shattering your bubble.

So this deserves its own thread huh?
Must be a slow day.

Jealous much?

I just answered on the things I know without watching the video.
But anyway, he probably had 7 experienced player to help him. That makes the whole fight a lot easier.
It is also just a healer check due to the inflated potencys.

But probs to him to actually doing them in the hardest possible way.

He had some players with experience but... There was some awful "legends". One or two definitely bought the clears.
His OT was a "look at me" PLD but was doing well I believe.

It took 1h10 to clear Garuda EX while it should've been more like 30 mins if the level was more homogenized.
Other than that he went blind with people explaining the mechanics to him, they struggled with spinning feather.

But that was honestly good to watch.

Just like I did a few days ago with 6 sprouts in mentor roulette.

Titan will be the first real challenge.

Titan was mainly an issue due to latency causing landslide to kill you if you didn't move before the markers were visible.

Even without min ilvl I hope he is starting to understand the gulf between "hard" and "extreme". I can tell you ONE THING watching him do fights in WoW vs FF14 is way way way different experience. WoW fights rely on too much RNG and class stacking where as with enough practice and getting the dance correctly you can see he got the difference.

It was fun to watch, but the thing I noticed is he is playing the game as if it's WoW, which is why he had a hard time initially (that and never actually reading/understanding his abilities). At one point during the stream he asked "what's a tank buster?"

I haven't really done WoW raiding since Cata, but I don't think WoW has tank busters, or at least not in the same way FF has them. So it didn't surprise me he didn't really see Holmgang as an ability worth using initially.

Every raid boss in wow has tank-busters, it's just the thing that forces the tanks to swap.

Holmgang much like Living Dead, Hallowed Ground and Superbolide are just emergency skills that shouldn't be needed if everything goes as planed.

Every day is a slow day.

It's not like these threads are disrupting some whirlwind of activity here. I'm sure the other 3 active conversations will still manage to stay on the front page somehow.

Well you can cheese out TBs with aforementioned skills, so no, they are more than red buttons

I wouldn't be too judgmental, no one is perfect and even Legends can easily make mistakes or forget older fights. Half an hour for a min-ilv EX with no Echo and a blind sprout MT is a bit of a stretch. Besides, they seemed to have fun and they cleared.

It was good to watch though. It was nice to see him picking up on basics as he went and noticing where he needed keybinds or wasn't spending Rage enough. The best way to get good at hard content is by jumping in, willing to wipe and learn and just giving it a go really.
