Help with Garuda HM please (Off tank)

[trogdor323]

the best way to off tank the sisters imo is to have the healers/mages not burn any CD, cause the moment a whm does heals it will instantly go to that person. The off tank must pull the red and aim it towards the plumes and away from the party. Cause a cleaver can instantly wipe the party clean. While they handle green and kill it asap because yes it can heal garuda. If your party's dps isn't sufficient this fight can be bothersome, cause it will repeat that same phase over and over and over till you can kill it. But the role of the off tank is to grab hate asap and if you can't handle that, that fight will be a problem. I've done about maybe 30-40runs with this with my fc, to the point we just kill it before it even reaches the 3rd sisters.

Nothing you can do. A WHM spamming Medica II/Regen generates more threat than any Tank in the game.

You have to tell your Healer, to STOP FRICKING OVERHEALING.

Just do my first try on garuda hm and ...

Party insult me for 3 try.

I off tank, and don't understand why i can't keep red add on me.

At the 2 try i say: plz stop big heal and burst dps when adds spawn just let me 10sec for generate threath on the red add.

Party respond: f... y.. u have ifrit weapon and ak gear let healer overheal and dps burst and do your job. Or go uninstall or over stupid remarks.

I come here and read that, ok so i have a good idea to say stop heal and burst when adds spawn ^^ just a bad party who can't understand how threath system works ^^

I would shield lob > prvoke> shield lob > into hate combo imo, I do this on my warrior and 0 probs but thats say its a warrior.

Tried but if you loose aggro (she go on healer) it's the wipe before she come back on you.

Provoke > Shield Throw > (repeat) RoH combo. Never lost hate on the red one ever, and have never seen another tank lose it either unless they die.

Is there a reason why anyone would start with provoke? Considering it's mechanics.

Heal aggro + 1 during mob run over, shield lob after that should keep it off healer until it gets in range for RoH combos.

On the green add, we usually have our FC dragoon pick it up with some burst dps, but that's more of a happy accident of him being relic geared than a legit strategy. I think he might have something that boosts aggro though, not sure. If so legit!

Provoke has longer range than any other ability pld has. You can hit it with provoke at max range as it's moving towards the group, be the #1 target on it's hate list, and then immediately follow up with shield throw as it moves into range, and now you're well ahead of the aggro from everyone else.
