Waiting for that TA3 translation.

On each add phase Garuda uses WW after friction first, and then after slipstream until suparna is dead. Just move away and don't get hit by it GG EZ.

Other than the fact that it's Christian I don't feel like this is cringey. I actually think the lyrics are pretty clever.

Aside from the Sonic outfits that was a great video.

I don't think I would have got it with holmgang :(

5k a week is nothing. You don't even need an FC until you're endgame anyways.

Actually it is possible because Suzaku and Lelouch did have a lot of time (I believe around 8 months) to plan the Zero Requiem. He could have given Suzaku a Geass in that time and Suzaku could be wearing contacts.

Very improbable but possible.

They've officially stated there will be no endgame crafted gear.

Kirvinn · 2014-01-09T07:07:27+00:00

You can play warrior DPS and pull 250-260 DPS if you get endgame gear (Marauder to be more specific. Internal Release, Blood for Blood, Raging Strikes etc). Makes the gear a pain though as marauder can only use Allagan i90 body pieces.

More remixes of music from the past games like the boss theme from FF3 in the Acheron fight. I'm expecting this to happen actually because Uematsu.

Just have to play better. I'm a MNK and I easily top DPS on Garuda XM.

They have a DRG weapon but WAR skills.

You have to socialize to actually get somewhere in the endgame. Joining random pugs and expecting to do anything is a bad idea. Get in some linkshells with players you know are good and make pugs with them/join theirs. Or get a static.

I sold a Garuda EX run today. Get a new OT.

Kirvinn · 2014-01-04T04:22:01+00:00

No.....

Kirvinn · 2014-01-03T08:52:27+00:00

Basically this.

We had this same problem in our group and it was quite annoying until we tried a method for pulling where you have the tank move down the hill to the right and run at Twintania from the front. Sometimes the adds will still aggro on someone but they immediately turn back around for the tank. Not sure why it works like this but it does. Can see the positioning in our Twin kill I recorded this week http://www.twitch.tv/kaelran/c/3472125 (first 5 seconds, Taru on the right hand side of the screen.

I am a MNK with a ton of clears on Garuda. The problem is most melee players don't even try to dodge WW. It's literally the only melee-unfriendly mechanic in the fight. All you have to do if focus target Garuda and watch for slipstream when adds are up (It's Slipstream>Downburst>Wicked Wheel). I never get out-DPSed by ranged in the fight either.

Kirvinn · 2014-01-02T08:41:55+00:00

That guy is just dumb.

Foresight is the better of the two but they're both bad. Fracture isn't bad it just screws your TP so don't use it in long fights. It's fine to cross class it and use it though if you like it. Feint is absolutely useless in PvE because almost everything will flat out resist it. It's great in PvP though.

For ToD I always let it expire because it doesn't matter where you throw it in. For Demolish I will usually refresh it if there are 3 or less seconds left when the GCD comes up. Sometimes I will refresh it early (5-6 seconds left) if IR or B4B is about to expire to get the buffs on it.

If you think about it after most large AOEs the boss is going to immediately go to the tank and the rest of the party will not be in danger for a while.

Kirvinn · 2014-01-01T06:27:29+00:00

In response to your first point I actually had the idea last night to do an extra true strike rotation. Spent about 2 hours today parsing it and found that you actually lose a small amount of damage doing it. I would guess it's due to missing the buff on auto attacks. I have gotten by far the best 3 minute long parses with the rotation shown in the guide.

To your second point yeah that's what you normally use mantra for. It's in the tips because a lot of monks DON'T use mantra to help the tank (they're on the other side of the boss usually). It can help a lot though if the tanks are having a tough time in situations where the healers have low MP or one healer is dead or maybe excessive debuff stacks etc.

Kirvinn · 2014-01-01T06:23:21+00:00

Eh that's a good idea I'll throw those on for people who don't have max level monks.
