Garuda after patch

[Req]

I find it pretty odd but I've noticed this game is really falling short again lately, even despite all the hard work from the dev team. I'm hoping the impending 2.0 really puts things back on track, we're starting to get fairly close.

I remember being wowed by everything we got in 1.21, but 1.22 has just felt lackluster so far. In all honesty I would have just been content if they had taken more time with garuda and the hamlet defense things and really ironed out all the specifics.

The fight is full of latency, ( same for ifrit but atlast u can read logs when he does eruption and just run back even if nothign happen under your butt, but in garuda you dont know where she will lands) for example after Aerial Blast, is really hard to dodge her cone attack, u can also go behind her but you will be pushed as u was in front, i sene it soo mant times, that why still pepole use to pull her to 30% hp, so you can skip this phase (thats the most used strategy now) . If you want do it you also want some DD lke BLMs nukeing fulltime, whit other classes is pretty hard, that is not only player fault,is job balance aswell, i dont know on other servers, but on Excalibur probably half server has like 3 weapon out of 7 thanks to BLM Burn "glitch". that kinda pisses me off

Running behind her generally is not the best option. Watch your mini map you will see where she is rather quickly and then run as far away from her as possible, in this phase you can out range her AoE

All job run, prepatch. Still doable if you're good.

I'm POSITIVE, if you shout in Ul'dah, you will get a party for Garuda, even if you specify its not a BLM burn. You probably won't win, but that can be said for new content and pick up groups. The fact is though, that you need atleast 2 Magic DDs (or 1 really good one >.>) for that fight, so purposely not using Black Mages will result in failure.

Those player are all japanese they have about 0 latency, i dont know where you come from but in EU, the lag is quite worse, is doable yes but is based on luck mostly.

Our white mage has to play on a 3g connection at times and and only sometimes gets hit by Astral Shriek. Regardless, her actions are completely predictable so long as you are patient, wait before skills, watch your map to see where she's going to be, and move.

Predicting skills ruins my immersion.

That's untrue, the lag is relatively close to the same for all regions with variances from different ISPs. The real problem with lag is the entirely on SEs end. It's trouble with the servers communicating with each other more than a problem of distance from the actual server location, ie., ping time.
