Never use Ifrit.

His attack seems to scale off of STR(or maybe the physical damage/auto attack on the book, rather than magical). It's 120 potency but hitting for ~120-130. Garudas 100 potency is hitting for ~180-190. Auto attacks don't make up the difference in pet alone, not even mentioning Contagion.

Reasoning on why I think Ifrit is lower: It's splitting the crits between a weaker and stronger attack, rather than just a single stronger attack. It's better to crit on a bigger hit than it is a small one, and if you have equal crit chance the bigger will win on the same timers.




Some longer parses(note the parser is 100% accurate for pets. Everything is logged, no DoTs):

tl;dr

Don't use Ifrit.

Ever.

Great! I noticed even before I got RS I was pulling aggro all the time during the beginning minute(s) of a fight(which sucks!) Also, I used to do shining emerald and THEN thunder before I realized that it was also increased by it.

Gear wise, how should i approach it. Right now my priorities are as follow: INT>Crit> DET....But lately Ive been thinking to do DET over Crit for better overall damage as opposed to a CHANCE at CRIT.

I do Acc(until 451 cap) > Int > Crit > Det=Spell Speed. Basically, maximize Int and Crit and then whatever secondary stats are on the pieces I'm fine with.
