Garuda after patch

[Req]

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
