Mamushi can 2-man Garuda EX.
With enough practice and gil for repairs, Madda can too.
This man is correct. While Titan will punish you for not having situational awareness and Landslides, and Ifrit will wipe you if you fail to notice the nail, Garuda has multiple phases that will out and out kill anyone-not-a-tank in the form of Mistral, plus exploding plumes that must be dealt with swiftly, plus the overall "hope you sure got gud" panic after rocks blow up and she keeps using Mistral.
While most other encounters can be grunted through if one role is lacking, Garuda is the first to really make the fight nearly unwinnable if you've got a bad healer, or a bad tank, or bad DPS.
Berrod's got sound advice, too: Hitting 45 and snagging your free AF gear goes a long way, especially if you're still running about in whites or sub-40 pinks.
