    It can be done, though! I've heard some say that Ultima Extreme is harder than Garuda Extreme, so fingers crossed you'll get there soon enough. Always remain positive!
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    This, my friend, is why you need to be more positive not only for yourself, but also for those around you. You can do these things, so if things aren't going well, stay positive - sometimes you'll just beat it the next day!
    That same day we spent another hour happily wiping Garuda Ex with no progress whatsoever. So my comment still half-stands.
    Actually, you yourself said that it was the furthest you'd even got on Garuda EX when we had that one great try. So we did make progress

    • Level up in Immortal Flames
    • Clear T5 eventually I guess.



    To Chime in on Ultima versus Garuda, I definitely think Ultima is the harder fight just because there is so much more randomness. Garuda is pretty straightly scripted. But in Ultima there's a lot of stuff you can't plan for exactly.

    There are random elements in Ultima? I find Ultima & Garuda to be about the same difficulty, though Garuda is overall probably more recoverable.

    • WAR 44
    • Cleared T4 on Sat (or Sun?) after much suffering then again yesterday with only a couple of wipes! I don't want to say we have it in the bag just yet but we got so much better at it.


    Goals

    • Start T5 training and learning to make some progress with its phases (clearing is still a bit outside the scope of my goals :P)
    • Get better at EX fights and try to get some earrings out of Titan...
    • Make LS people try EX fights so we can do them together
    • Get the Ultima Ring of Fending and Garuda's Healing Ring
    • Get Quelling Strikes

    Positioning of Ifrit, magitek lasers, etc. are somewhat more random than anything in the Garuda fight. Nothing crazy, but just enough to give people grief. There's really nothing like that in the Garuda fight. You don't have to be immediately reactive to anything in the fight. You just need to go exactly where you need to go every time and nothing is going to suddenly make you run somewhere else.

    So, when I left A Realm Reborn (Not really an MMO guy, so I never expected to stay to long. It's well made enough though. :P), Face was so sure I'd be coming back, saying he'd save all the money I dumped into the group bank (It wasn't really all that much) for when I got back.

    ...Welp, still not back and still no plans on coming back!

    So in your face O_O!

    I find disproving face an accomplishment, yes.

    Hah! I did the same thing my first time through, and with a Mor Dhona /shout PUG nonetheless. I got my comeuppance when I finished off my white mage and actually had to learn the fight, though. Now I can basically do Titan HM & EX in any role in my sleep, but I still enjoy doing them when I'm with a good group.
