Garuda's Difficulty

[Efrye]

Yet first kill went to NA, its amazing people bring up latency in garuda fight, shows how clueless you are about the fight.

How is latency not an issue during that fight?
I've only tried Garuda a couple of times, but our main problem was always avoiding her attacks during phase 2. Even when we were standing in the middle of the area and moved to the opposite side or behind her almost right the moment she reappeared, it still wasn't always enough.

I'm sure it can be done somehow - I'm certainly not arguing with that. But having less latency and thus more time to get out of the way should make it a good deal easier.

As for getting hit by her moves even though you are behind pillars, I've never ever seen that happen.

That constantly happened to me at first too, but only when I was too slow to get behind the pillar. It's pretty much the same as with Ifrit really: You can get hit by eruptions or plumes even if you're already 10 yalms away, but it shouldn't happen if you move out of the way fast enough.
