I have been reading and hearing from people all week who are a little down about Garuda and talking about how we aren't geared enough to pull it off, pointing to videos of decked out parties beating her almost effortlessly in under ten minutes. While that may be true that some of us could probably use a few upgrades, I do want to say that we have had a few attempts where we have cleanly made it into the second phase. While min maxing your gear never hurts, a majority of us have the gear requirement now. We just need the tactics and teamwork.
Take the video that was recently posted by Silvano on the front page, the one with one of every class present. It's not just because they had pretty good gear that they were able to do more damage. The melee, all working as one unit, pulled off their AoE at the same time as plumes spawned with the ones that were somehow not killed immediately picked off by the archer, leaving the melee free to do damage on Garuda herself until she did her blast and up until the point she mass summoned plumes before her 2 hour. This kind of timing comes with practice.
It's easy to get frusterated at new content and I am not asking anyone to enjoy chewing glass over and over again. But I will say that I think that we can do this fight. Maybe not as perfectly as some of the well-oiled-machine hardcore shells that ground it out for hours over several days to get their strat down, but it is doable if we work together.
I'm down for a win.

I very easily have managed to just run to the opposite side of her when she pops. If you watch the mini-map, it seems to give away her positioning prematurely.
