Garuda why!

I don't understand why this fight is so damn hard. Is there a logical reason why with only missing 1 plume during phase one she still deals 3500 dmg to everyone in the pt? What are we doing wrong??? I guess for those who were able to get on the BLM ban-waggon and get all their weapons in 1 sitting congratulations the rest of us have to deal with not understanding why even with near perfect plum clear we still wipe to AB. I'm so over this shit.

she can also dmg the rocks.... so her postion is key as well to keep her from doing that

also the longer you take to get her to 2hr stage the more time she has to dmg the rocks

If the AB hits you that hard while you're successfully killing the plumes, you're not taking her HP down fast enough in first phase.

have you tried using Bards to clear it? Plumes go down pretty fast. Have the bards use Throwing Items as well. It doesn't matter which, but the extra source of TP helps.

I'm going to try it, at this point nothing else seems to work. thanks.

as long as one of your pillars are at full health and you're fully buffed at AB should survive..

Stoneskin works wonders here, as well as the Bard 15min.

the sad thing is, that's not even the hardest part of the fight :|

Pretty much this. We still haven't beaten this but we're getting close. We can pretty consistently get her Aerial Blast down to 2k damage and force skip Phase 2 (where she warps around all over the place) but it's just going to take more practice and we'll get there. Setup we're using atm is PLD 3xBRD 3xBLM WHM but we're considering replacing a BRD and a BLM with 2xDRG.

Same thing here. Getting to phase 3, then something (panic & chaos) happens and we wipe. I guess we'll just need to learn the positioning better and try not to panic.
