trial for garuda hm on war. don't know if it was light farming but people nowadays handle it as such anyway, or so i thought.

Run up, do standard unchained opener, watch for the other tank to drop shield (he doesn't) ok whatever. I'm much better geared than him, str spec and str gear, idc. drop defiance and continue on with tanking. He starts complaining, saying he should tank since "his dps is gonna be lower" wtf?

Garuda goes to the center for the first time, he's still at the top rock, PROVOKES it, pulls it away from center and group. Since more than likely he's going to bring it to the old west spot and not the south spot, i take it back, reposition it for final phases, everything is fine.

He provokes AGAIN, just in time for it to slipstream entire group who's standing on his side and for the adds to astral flow and wipe almost entire party at 3%. Me, a healer and a DPS finished it off and then I get this gem:

LOL

Why do people take garuda HM south now for the last phase? I havn't done her in years, and got surprise when i saw that

It became popular with people light farming; it's done to maximize DPS time to the point where you can kill her as fast as possible while (optionally) completely ignoring sisters. When she spawns sisters, she disappears from wherever she is and ALWAYS reappears in the south. If everyone is already stationed in the south, you can continue DPSing immediately.

i see

It also lets you more easily direct the Slipstream she does immediately after the teleport in a safe direction.

When you take her west she comes in from the South and uses it as soon as the tank is in range, if the DPS aren't paying attention they can get whacked by it.

Yep makes slipstream easier for PUGs. I also prefer mage LB on all 3 of the girls, it wrecks the sisters allowing for very fast kills.

**Yukari** · 2014-12-04 18:21

You don't just ignore the sisters and kill garuda anyways with melee LB?

No...but I only do Roulette. I'm sure premades can power through it NP.

**Yukari** · 2014-12-04 18:29

Oh right, you said PUGs. Ignore me.

**The47thSen** · 2014-12-04 23:14

Has there ever been a strat that has taken Garuda west?

As much as I can remember, we've always done Top > Center/South > South.

I usually just power up Eos, have her cast cove->dawn just as the sisters spawn then send her on her merry way. (Protip: you get lots of MIPs this way.)
Once in a while the other tank will try to chase them down but most often just ignores them. We then finish her off with the melee LB.

**Niiro** · 2014-12-04 23:17

Until Nexus farming began I never saw anyone bring Garuda South, was always West so you could start killing one of the adds asap.

**The47thSen** · 2014-12-05 13:14

Must be one of thost NA/EU only things then.

**Yukari** · 2014-12-05 13:32

I mean, west makes sense if you're actually planning on killing the adds, as you can kill one as it spawns and then get the other one pulled, but when you have 6 DPS that are all ridiculously overgeared, you just want to kill Garuda through her heal.

**Alkimi** · 2014-12-05 14:46

So I can't be the only tank who's done this, but it seems Shiva HM's conal blade after she goes into sword mode isn't split damage like extreme mode.

Just one-shot most of the party.

**Niiro** · 2014-12-05 15:02

I did it multiple times after the patch back when when HM came up in trial DR more often.

Did HM for the first time as DPS, learned EX as tank, do DRs as tank -> "woops".

**Ratatapa** · 2014-12-06 10:34

Nin in ramuh insisting that Dancing Edge is better then Storm's (eye) or Path forgot.

and like most of the bad nin does. Doton on single target

**Niiro** · 2014-12-06 11:51

Earth beats Thunder, I mean like, duh.

**Dammerung** · 2014-12-08 05:10

Our 9:43 kill on T12 was only 2535 raid dps, damn!

**Ratatapa** · 2014-12-08 12:34
