*goes back to playing Dark Souls*
Overcoming challenge: Fun
Wiping to the first Mistral for 45 minutes because the healer can't understand "Get behind the rock" = Decidedly not fun
Garuda story mode has been arguably harder than Hard mode since.... something like a year+ ago. I remember asking in Reddit for a better BLM burst at that moment and people suggested timing a freeze or Fire 2 +Swift Fire 2

Your heals are pretty good and there are a ton of WHMs who aren't... well great. A bad WHM will get wrecked by Garuda super fast, either because they don't pay attention to Garuda's telegraphs or because they over compensated healing and ran out of MP. Too many WHMs will run into Garuda spamming Cure II that by the last phase they can't do squat cause they're out of MP and don't know how to recover. Not to say a great WHM won't wreck Garuda but there are far more "bad" WHM who go into Garuda than I have seen Scholars.
And regarding Bismarck, you have not seen the amount of bad DPS. Multiple wipes and vote abandons to both Ravana and Bismarck because people can't kill things in time.

The second after we got to the last phase no one was activating the harpoons, so adds kept spawning and dps wasn't killing them fast enough, it was crazy. I was yelling get the damn harpoons. As I was starting to hold more and more ads because they where not killing them fast enough. It was a nightmare. I have no idea how that group made it to the second half of that fight.I would say that it was mostly in the beginning of 3.0's launch where I had more wipes to Ravana and/or Bismarck. As tank I've had times where I was the one to grab harpoons because... no one else did. -_- The worst feeling is being in bismarck and not knowing how well you took down the snake adds. "This feels a long time" leaves you with dread so you wonder if you're about to get swallowed by him or if you're going to survive.
