Okay so gathering Garuda info here, post anything you've got.

Starting off, a video:



Next on the list, surviving the Hellfire move. Apparently you need to keep all the pillars up to survive. You can achieve this by killing the Razor Plumes, or so I've heard from the people who got to 1% and wiped.

From what we can tell, after the Rock Pillar phase, a new one begins where she will disappear every minute and do a 1 shot move. Then adds (Razor Plume) proceed to enter the arena, you have to kill a certain amount (or all?) adds in order to not spawn these Satrin Plumes and big Greater Whirlwind attack. This is our only assumption because the one time we completely ignored adds is when this happened.

However, the next run we popped Supprana and Chirada, the Greater Whirlwind attack still happened. Tornadoes essentially spawn all over the map like Plumes and rape us. So we're not 100% sure what triggers that, or if it's even suppose to be survived.

Also, 8:59am EST



Apparently each person got 2 Headdresses. The fact that Everyone got two is a little interesting. 100% drop rate?

OMG YES! I do hope so. We talked about this last night when someone mentioned it takes 40 to obtain a weapon now. I'd totally be fine with 40 if we at the very least get 1 per win. But 2 per win! Now that's gravy.

Also, really interesting pty makup. That's got to be one ballin Whm.

What do WHM/CNJ have to do do get some healing potency or +enhancing magic on their primal weapons? ='( Seriously, the stats are nice if the party wants me casting aero all day but realistically cnj and whm are healing like 99% of the time. Am I doing it wrong? Should I just let everyone die so I can cast aero all day?

"Sorry the tank died I was dpsing w/ my new badass Garuda weapon…"

I mean I might look into making a dps set for my whm for kicks but I won't be able to get a legit party as a dps. Why did they do this? =(

Yoshi-P hates healers and thinks they shouldn't be in game?

But I mean what else can they really do? Put Healing Magic potency on every single Primal weapon? They'd all be basically the same, no reason to have them all. I get that the stats suck for WHM but I mean each Primal weapon seems to be a side-grade of the others. Not necessarily better, possibly better for certain situations. This one at least has stats for a spell that WHM has access to, unlike Ifrit's.

No, but they could at least add it to one… I mean at this point there is clearly only one option for WHM (maybe two if you meld the shit out of a crafted wand) and that's Chirin Zabrin's Tempest (Sp?)

I wouldn't be opposed to them going back and putting a little - enmity, + healing potency, + enhancing magic, or + mnd and lessening some of the other stats on the other CNJ/WHM primal weapons. I don't think this is an outlandish request either. CNJ/WHM are the Healers in this game so the gear specifically made for them (CNJ/WHM) should help that role in my opinion.

I am sure I will piss someone off with this statement. There are probably whm and cnj out there who live for dpsing in spirit bound parties or some shit w/ their primal weapons. Some rare ones that might be able to main dps on cnj/whm. I haven't met any but they are probably out there somewhere.

I just don't want to feel like I am raiding to get epeen flashy town gear.

I would like to be able to use the Primal weapons while healing instead of making a macro where I only get to use it when I cast aero. Instead I am using a butt ugly healing staff that glitches through Niko's hood. I would like to see this nicely done Garuda weapon at my side while I'm dungeoning.

Maybe if I finish a dps set for my whm and actually get one of these to drop for me I could have a little fun dpsing on Ifrit. If I can find a group that would let me.

The weapon has horrible stats for me but I still want it =/ I guess if I want to use primal weapons I should try to get less absolutely horrible w/ one of the dps classes.

Ugh sorry for the grammar I'm reading forums on my phone >.< Probably wouldn't be better off the phone though lol.

Leviathan will likely have the CNJ/WHM Primal weapon of choice, maybe Titan as well. Kind of funny how that works isn't it? The two they're holding off on would have the relevant stats for the healer lol.

Leviathan = Mind, obvious healing bonuses there.
Titan = Vitality, enhancement magic stats there.

There will eventually be Primal weapons that WHM can use, Garuda and Ifrit just don't govern those stats. Still baffled as to why they added Int to the BLM weapon though. That's Shiva's bit.

The blm Garuda weapon stats are just damn awesome. I need to finish leveling up my blm.
