Orchestrion Roll:Fallen Angel

Garuda

Phase 1 Alerts

The first 20 seconds of the fight will involve Garuda's previous abilities and essentially mechanic-free DPS.
When Garuda disappears, be sure to line-of-sight the north to avoid damage from Minstral Song.

Attack Script

[Downburst
Friction
Wicked Wheel]
Eye of the Storm
Minstral Song

Downburst
Everyone Cleave

Important Notes:

This frontal cleave has moderate damage - face Garuda away from the raid.

Friction
Everyone Ranged

Important Notes:

This attack will hit a random player and all players and pillars near them.

Wicked Wheel
Everyone Circular AoE

Important Notes:

This is an instant cast that will hit all players near Garuda for moderate damage.

Eye of the Storm
Everyone Donut AoE

Important Notes:

Garuda will summon a donut AoE blue whirlwind that will occupy the outer ring of the arena - avoid this area by continuing the fight towards the center.

Minstral Song
Everyone Column AoE

Important Notes:

This attack is preceded by Garuda flying into the air - when she disappears, get to a boulder and use it to break line-of-sight when she lands to avoid damage.

Phase 2 Alerts

When the adds spawn, be sure to DPS down the 'Satin Plume' first, otherwise it will sleep the entire raid.
If raid DPS is low, Garuda will cast another 'Minstral Song' from the east - this can be skipped with high DPS.
Tanks should focus on keeping Chirada and Supurna apart and all other players should focus one add down before the other.
If either Chirada or Supurna are alive when Garuda casts 'Reckoning', the raid will wipe.

Everyone Ultimate

Important Notes:

Garuda's ultimate is telegraphed by her teleporting to the middle of the arena a set amount of time after she spawns Chirada and Supurna.
This attack will wipe the raid if there are no boulders remaining to soak the damage.
This attack will wipe the raid if either Chirada or Supurna are still alive at this point.

Phase 3 Alerts

This second wave of 'Plume' adds will be accompanied by a 'Spiny Plume' that must be kept alive for a later mechanic.

Spiny Plume & Minstral Shriek

The 'Spiny Plume' add will hit it's opponent with a stacking debuff that will wipe the raid if it reaches 3 - tanks should provoke as necessary to keep stacks down.
When Garuda disappears, all players should focus on DPSing down the 'Spiny Plume', avoid its circular AoE on death, and then immediately run into the protective dome it creates to avoid damage from 'Minstral Shriek'.

Important Notes:

Minstral Shriek will wipe the raid if players are not inside the barrier generated by the defeated 'Spiny Plume' - be sure to only kill it when Garuda begins to cast Shriek.

Phase 4 Alerts

Tanks should each tank Chirada and Supurna in the north east and south west respectively to keep them apart.
A new 'Spiny Plume' will spawn during this phase that needs to be kept alive - tanks should pass this add back and forth to avoid the stacking debuff.
Phase 3 and 4 will repeat until the boss is killed.
