Post Your Complete Garuda Weapon Set!

[Kikosho]

nah, already covered this at length on page 15. skipping plumes 2 and phase 2 are examples of game design working as intended, to make sure you're still forced to deal with the harder parts of the fight, no matter how fast you burn her. that's a mob AI HP check, and it's intentional.

the AI for her aerial blast HP check, however, is bugged. which has been acknowledged by devs. which is why you can skip it, even though you can't with any other primal.

Amazes me how you still don't know the quirks of Garuda after killing her so much.

100%-90% = Normal attacks + WS. At 90%, Garuda immediately jumps in the air and does Mistral Shriek.

90%-60% = Normal Plumage + Mistral Shriek or Song. There is no set amount of plumes. She will repeat this combo until her tits shrivel or you die/timeout if you never take her below 60%.

60% = This is where she is buggy and inconsistent. Below 60%, she does her mass Plumage set which consists of the greater deal of plumes followed by Aerial Blast afterwards. The timing on this phase varies anywhere from 1min to 1min 50secs depending on when exactly she summon plumes since it's not instant and if she already had a set out while taken to below 60%. After Aerial Blast, it's Phase 2 until 40%.

40%-0% = Phase 3 shenanigans. South winds lasts 1 min, the other two 1 min 30secs~.

Knowing this, -everyone- that has fought Garuda has benefited from this bug where she doesn't auto Aerial Blast. PUG groups, groups that skip phase 2, BLM zerg groups. The 1min+ allotted to everyone at 60% of pure unadulterated DPS before Aerial Blast is the problem. If you've taken her to 40%, 30%, 15%, death, you've benefited from the bug no matter what setup you used. The equivalent for Ifrit would be if he was able to be killed in the 1 min window from when nails pop with no HP check to force him to Hellfire. I've no clue what % SE will finalize her auto Aerial Blast or if Phase 2 is wholly considered part of the Plumage + Aerial Blast combo to begin with.

I hope in the future we continue to find these bugs anyway. SE can only learn from it.

If I feel like gravity doesn't exist hard enough, the apple won't fall from the tree.

I'm sure most of us did. That's not a BLM burn.

Yesterday, I seriously thought this thread had already hit bottom. Now you guys are excavating below the bottom just to prove me wrong.

All of it is troublesome to me. That achievements are used as weapons to poke or defend with...that people look to the developers as surrogate parents....that people who BLM burn decidedly do not mention when posting on this thread because would leave them open to a potshot like the ones they take...(which is common and establishes the Bravery of Being Out of Range actions)...that you don't know each other at all, not even on the same server and maintain still a serious interest in what any one does.

The disconnect is a bit disturbing.

This isn't how to clone items or gils. Even if you feel it is the worst possibly cheat, just don't do it. Don't worry about any one else, Joe Blow having 7/7 Garuda weapons does not affect your gameplay in the slightest.

By the same token, if you do BLM burn, you know it pisses people off...to antagonize people intentionally means you need them to feel weak so you can feel strong. So unless it is something that needs to be established ad nauseum, then why bother saying it again?


Anyway...have fun in the sandbox. I think a saw a mithra in the corner do something...

It actually doesn't piss me off at all haha. I find it extremely entertaining the lengths people have to go to to actually accomplish successful endgame content in this game. As a matter of fact I was watching a popular livestream earlier (I will leave the streamer anonymous for privacy sake) and they were BLM burning Garuda. One of the members in their group said verbatim "Guys we need to farm this as much as possible since this is a limited time strat!"

I literally pooped my pants because I was laughing so hard.

Now I am embarrassed

I believe I know who your talking about if they are on Gungnir.

Yoshida should really just give let us QA for them on pre-patch content so they don't have to go back and fix all these poorly designed mechanics that people love to exploit. We'd do it totally pro bono.
