How long does it take for you to get from the claim to AB? How many teleport moves does she do before AB? If you're getting more than 2 teleports and taking more than 3,5 minutes your problem might be your DPS on Garuda (too slow). If you only get 2 teleports and get to AB within 3,5 minutes from the claim, the problem is not killing the plumes fast enough.

As for getting hit by her moves even though you are behind pillars, I've never ever seen that happen. No one should get hit by her moves in phase 1 (well our tank sometimes does and that's not a problem). Can you post a video of this happening? I'm just curious to see it as I never have.

The last set of plumes is usually 2 or 3 normal sets in a row. We rarely if ever kill them all but if you've done well until that point, it's not a problem. As a BRD, I usually skip shooting the plumes at certain point and instead focus on preparing for AB (Sacred Prism + Stoneskin, BV song, cures if someone isn't full HP).

What kind of setup are you using? Do you have 2 or 3 people on plume duty (and on which jobs) and the others DPSing Garuda full time? Do your plume people also do dmg on Garuda? How's your accuracy, do people keep missing their weaponskills and getting resists on their spells?
