GARUDA New BLM Burn

[Honz]

Its going to sting when they make this fight easier and/or change the way to acquire the weapons that doesnt require the same level of play it does now...

Only seems this way because FFXIV's player base is so small.

[Churchill]

This fight is only a challenge if you dress yourself in the prettiest colors and have trouble counting to potato.

Well some people are doing this and there is alot more people doing Garuda. I am glad you are so awesome at it and award you one shiny star but I know people are still trying to get this and thought I would share.

Gear wise our BLM have atleast (before food)
380 INT
440 M.Acc

We have been using this spell rotation for our BLM to make sure they are always casting.

Spell Rotations for BLMs:

100-90% (first jump)
Thunder - Thundera Only (allow Tank to build hate)

90-69%
Thunder - Thundera - Thundaga
Thunder - Thundera
Thunder
Freeze/Blizzard
Thunder - Thundera - Thundaga
-repeat-

68-x% (stop at 68% wait for her to jump and release plumes, BV and then move the mages away from the pillar to the wall (avoids plume damage). Normally we have her down to 25% when she blasts then just go all out and nuke her.

Thunder - Thundera - Thundaga
Thunder - Thundera - Burst (with Convert ofc)
Thunder
Freeze/Blizzard
Thunder - Thundera - Thundaga

A bit different to the way we did it but not much.

We took her to 70-65% before 2nd jump, waited for the 3rd and took her down as far as possible so we skiped phase 2. After 2h we killed the adds and nuked her afterwards. At the beginning a BLM used flare with a collusion for initial hate.

BTW 440 macc is abit low for garuda

Yeah we just let the adds live and take her out. 440 macc is bottom end most of use are higher than that.
