SMN - Why it is not a very interesting job and not a good upgrade from ACN

[Kevee]

ifrit is better at clearing dungeon trash till you get too the boss then just summon garuda,but his higher dps on all attacks and his auto attacks focus down a target faster then garuda can.
That's what i got from my experience so far.

Ifrit does less DPS than Garuda.

Note: This post isn't directed at you, I just don't want to type and post it again. So don't take it as being an ass to you.

Note2: Remember, the parser is 100% accurate for the pets. Everything is in the combat log, and no DoTs.

There is no situation, ever, in which you should use Ifrit over Garuda. Did you even look at the link?

I just went and updated my parses for them since I got some gear upgrades.

Ifrit does less DPS than Garuda and offers nothing.

Period. If ranged need to stack in melee, PLACE GARUDA IN MELEE. Not like there's really a fight that needs that, and Egi's take reduced AoE damage anyways.
