Garuda's Difficulty

[Alkimi]

every time she jumps and uses her wide range AoE its like multiple plumes blowing up on each pillar.

I thought (at least I read somewhere) that when she teles if your tank positions himself between Garuda and a pillar then the pillar doesn't take any damage. At least I've been doing that, maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: I'm also tempted to try a more melee-orientated approach like I've seen in many videos, but just wondering about the melee resistant garuda clone and how people deal with it.
