Garuda why!

I'm really surprised no one uses this setup: WAR,WAR,BRD,BRD,BLM,BLM,BLM,WHM
BRD 2hr at start, BRD 2hr at aerial blast

This way when chirada/suprana pop main tank can switch to grab chirada (and collusion your top BLM for his flare) and 2nd WAR can grab suprana (and pull him on top of the tank) this way both WAR's can dps down suprana

key's to success: forcing aerial blast just after the 3rd wave of adds, identify [clock/middle/east] and getting into position quickly (tank/OTank pickup chirada/suprana)

This is more or less what we used to do but the WAR nerf seemed to cut into our strategy. However if it still works for you, you must be getting like 5 min kills o.o

This was our best strat even after war nerf....

BUUUUTTT...
LS seems hell-bent on 'but other people do this?' and wish to try new combinations of classes that just don't work as well for us. Sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall...

But yes, this strat still works. As does any strategy really that has a balance between elemental DD's and AOE DD's. At this point, it is best to use whatever setup your group is best geared in and has the jobs they have the most talent playing.

This however, doesn't keep people from the 'Tank, WHM, DRGx2, Bard, BLMx3' strat...cause it's 'the way people do Garuda now.'
