Garuda after patch

[Baxta]

Try more MNK

I'd suggest another tank tbh for sup/chi in phase 3, you can manage them much more easily if both tanks can get them into a good position quickly, which will be much harder with only 1 tank. Lose the third BRD.

We win consistently enough with PLD(the horror!)/WAR/DRG/WHM/BRDx2/BLMx2. Whatever works I guess. We tried for a while with 1 BRD and replacing the second with MNK but meh I dunno, it didn't jive with what we've been doing since day 1 so we scrapped it. It seemed to work just fine though, I'd like to try it on MNK.

We did PLD(the horror!hah), DRG, MNK, BLM, 2 BRD, 2 WHM. Pretty easy win.

MNK taunt chirada when it pops and get into position quick, both MNK and DRG also can kill plumes in any phases pretty easy, Aura Pulse now can 1shot plumes (need to turn off fists). MNK can also assist on Suprana if it's not killed quick enough, very useful job imo. High DPS on garuda while being able to basically hit everything in this fight.

not the fastest kill, but steady and safe with 2x WHM.

Playing FFXIV is not fun anymore. It is irritating and frustrating.

Hasn't it always been?

Just went to Garuda to help strangers on my server complete the grand company mission. 0 people were at the howling eye besides the 6 of us. I don't think I will ever get to fight Garuda(Hard) muchless get a weapon...

People want totems, and kupo nuts to be 100% drops, so they included that with Garuda and now no one fights her! Sad to say I am glad they dont fix the drop rates in the other two battles or it will be the same thing. The dev team was right in their decision, because this community is selfish only serving their own ends and for the most part sucks. Its the community that is going to cause this game to fail in the long run

Sure I only helped those random people with Garuda easy because it was my only chance at fighting her again, but thats more than a lot of the community does. no one helps anyone unless they gain from it. and spare me the with keeping the help within your LS. a community should be more than that.

The cross server content match system(the thing that groups you with people from other servers for the same quest) cannot come soon enough. sadly I believe that was planned for 2.0 and not sooner ]=

I will be sticking around to check out 2.0, likely not for long.. I will repeat this one more time -- this community sucks, bad

[Ilethius]

A LOT of people are already burnt out with Garuda/AV/CC its just the way the playerbase is at the moment, burn through the content as fast as possible then log out.

Its not going to go away till 2.0 and even then there might still be traces of this around.

I really really hope it comes sooner. I am on 4-5 hours per day, and during that time I'm lucky if I find one person who is interested in going to Garuda. (Forget any shouts).

I'm pinning my little heart on Content Manager. I'm hoping it will let me find at least 7 other people in all of the realms together so that I can at least go and try things like Garuda now. I've given up on actually getting an item, for now I would settle to just try and get in.

And if it turns out that after Content Manager no one wants to go do it.. then I will be sad, and not sure where I will go.

I will not say the entire community is bad, but it does appear to have a large number of people who want easy-instant-gratification and care not for long-term-planning and battle-enjoyment. Part of the problem is the nature of people, and part of the problem is the actual content.

*sad elf*

and the people still logged on? they beg for better drop rates, so they wont have to do the other content anymore. they dont help anyone else with content. its pathetic. I realized this before, so I put my request in to cancel at the beginning of June so I will have 2 months payed for 2.0. Enough time to play around with it, but the people behind the keyboards aren't going to be changing thats certain.. not squares fault. its the community and there are much better ones out there.

You know, if the thaumaturge/black mage weapon had either 10 more intelligence or magic accuracy. I'd actually have one thing to strive for. Cause only a triple/quad meld would beat it.

Still don't get why no bosses drop materials like (heta, heca or hecta)gear in 11.
