Garuda after patch

[Baxta]

Lag aside, cause I think its more a scapegoat than a real issue most of the time.

What the funniest thing about this Garuda kaboom is that so many people thought the content of the game overall was TOO EASY. So the devs gave us a fight that was actually sort of difficult and people don't want to do it cause its TOO HARD. They just exploited the easy mode exploit and were done with it. It's more an issue of player laziness than anything, its not a thing the devs have done. Ppl would much rather do the easy-mode raids with poor drop rate gear than actually have to work on figuring out the strategy and challenge themselves with a more difficult fight.

Ppl got what they ask for and now they wont do it. So freakin frustrating. Im 1/7 weapons myself and would love to do this fight more but I cant get ppl for it either. Then if I actually do find enough ppl for a run, half of them don't know how to play their jobs cause they burned them from 1-40 and have no idea how the mechanics work. So irritating. Usually I just log out and log onto a different mmo where I can actually get shnizzit done.

The irony is that imo, Garuda is much easier once you've got it down than the other primals. I still think Ifrit is harder simply becuase at times it can be so frustrating. I'm sure we've all been so far out of the aruptions we may aswell be in uldah and STILL got him by them. There's nothing like that in Garuda, it's just plain good fun. Well, I thought the same about moogles, so perhaps I just hate Ifrit lol.

If you completely skip the second phase theres nothing like that... The second phase is bullshit for having to move and get to the correct spot and theres such a small window of opportunity to get to such a small safe area that half your party will probably end up taking 3000 damage to the face if they can't watch out for themselves and react appropriately. With ifrit you can actually count down for people who have never done the fight before and tell them where to stand and when to run and they can react on that, with garuda during the second phase half the time before you can even say to run shes already firing off mistral shriek.

Oh yeh I suppose thats true, we hit that phase sometimes. The thing I hate is that I read west winds in the log and expect sup/chi to come in and then you realise its phase 2 and she shrieks in your face lol. I'd still take that over Ifrit though.

Agreed. I can do ifrit in my sleep. Almost literally lol, there were times we were spamming him i was dozing mid-fight and still didnt die/take damage cause I knew where to stand. Granted I had to be somewhat coherent to avoid some of the attacks, but I was still more asleep than awake lol. Same with moogle, as a arc/brd main I knew my job well enough I could watch tv or make work calls and still do my job in the fight with absolute ease. The fights were ridiculously easy. Garuda is a different story but my current ls though has not found the key behind it and since it seems not really part of our event rotation we most probably wont. /sadface
