The Monk Temple

Anyone tried Garuda Hard mode yet on Monk and if so any tips?

Here's what I try to do on Garuda (note that these are MNK specificthings)

• As stated, time Rockbreaker+Howling fist on the plumes (it is important you get howling fist when the plumes are next to garuda, because the cooldown is exact for the next spawn)
• Save Shoulder tackle for emergencies to keep greased lightining up (specially to move from plumes to garuda)
• Keep your stance rotating on the plumes, use Rockbreaker if enough aligned plumes
• If red add spawns close, I always try to DoT it before the green reaches the raid
• Use Blood for Blood (if you have it) in Garuda-only phases
• Save buffs for sisters, and trigger them before they reach the raid (IR, defensive stuff)
• If you dodge any skill, use Haymaker
• Pop Mantra when sisters spawn and reach the raid
• I switch to Fists of Earth when Reckoning comes, I don't know if it helps though
