People need to stop rage quitting Garuda!

[Raksu]

what about thouse players who got relic weapons already? they just join hard fight to troll, tank fooling around or healer/dps just insult every one and try act cool and not try do boss fight.
some times tis game have worse community then WoW.

SE should add another requirement on primals (and hard mode primals too) for item level. We keep ending up with players with very much lower item level than our.

And this is why I call Garuda the Gatekeeper of Final Fantasy 14 ARR.

Garuda basically test players in the three trinity of a prepared character: gear, role, and patience.

If the player does not have all 3 traits then they will never get past Garuda.

Gear - being properly geared for the fight

Role - knowing your class/job role and what you need to do.

Patience - have the resolve to keep trying again until you win and wait out certain stages of the fight so you can start attacking the boss again.

I'll admit it was very challenging at first. I had 3 groups disband on me before I found a group that stayed together. Aside from the Bard who thought he could sponge her AoEs it went smoothly, and I even admitted to messing up (that LB timing is hard for me to get perfect), but trial, error and repetition are what make us better players. You have no idea how satisfying it is when she finally dies.

All I can say is pray for a tank who knows where to pull her and dodge her avoidable skills (1.5k avoided + stun takes a load off the healer), and dps that know how to dodge the attacks that can be dodged.

Had a Russian tank that had no clue what the rest of us were saying and we still cleared it after 5 tries.
Patience is gold.

want a tip from me?

use DPS limit when she say floppy phrase she will use Aerial Blast after

means she wont spawn the 3rd wave of feathers that are far from each

means saving both pillars and taking less dmg

Can confirm this as well. Me as thm using Mega potion of Int definitely can bypass that. Too bad got wiped on phase 2 when she jumped to outer battle circle and use that wind blast, plus I only have very few pots of it. lol

Beat it on 3rd try tonight, was tank with an LS mate healer. Not too hard for the DPS to mess up in that situation. All it takes is paying good attention, and having decent gear. You dont even need to sell your soul just have some decent level 44-46 equipment that could even be market bought or quested.

Hell you have 4/5 AF by that level.

You have level 44 weaps from GC that's cheap as dirt and more than good enough.

If you have all of these resources, the "gear gate" some cite is easily passed. All you then need to do is have basic deducing skills and =pay attention=. Even with Australian latency we could both get behind rocks flawlessly.

If all else fails watch a video of people on youtube.

If this is possible its because people think about what they are doing. People reading this should realize it as well.

Well, the strategy i have seen and done but failed each time:

8 Man Party (Duh)
2 tanks - 1 MT 1 OT.
DPS - 4
Healers - 2

Tanks - 1MT other OT.
DPS - Focus Garuda, Then focus plumes
WHM/Sch - Focus MT, party heals if needs be after % , 1 may holy to help but shouldnt be needed with the correct people.

Phase 1 - Same lv44 Battle except for 3 teleports, N, Mid, E.
Phase 2 - (Ends at the reckoning) - Gather at NW, 1 MT for Garuda, 1 OT for 1 Sister, DPS flame other sister, healers use Medica II and then focus heals when safe to do so, if not, use Medica II and save shroud for this moment due to healer aggro.
Phase 3 - Gather Mid, focus garuda, focus sister spawn, Medica II heals, flame green sister, flame red. flame garuda.
rinse.

Thats what ive seen mostly.. + id recommend Darklight gear to a high degree.. lv45 relic just doesnt have the defense or stats needed. + Ifrit/lv50 weapon.

I'm all for challenging content in this game. I'm happy things are difficult later on of course like many others are. What irritates the hell out of me though is waiting 40+ minutes in Duty Finder just to try once, wipe, people complain and bitch about one another, then leave. Literally every time I've tried this battle that happens. Why sign up for Duty Finder and have the expectation that miraculously all 8 people are going to be pros at it and nail it the first time, really? It's called HARD MODE for a reason, not to just be conquered immediately by anyone entering the fight. Ragequitters... do the community a favor and please do not sign up for a primal HM with 7 other randoms and expect a flawless completion. Do that crap with your Free Company or friends so they can put up with that (even though I doubt they will). Referring to hard mode Garuda in my case.

[Petrified]

There should be a limit for (rage) quitting during these kinds of missions
