Thank you, even if I'm completely wrong now we are at least having a convo instead IFRIT IS BAD HAHAHA ANY SMN THAT USES IFRIT IS BAD I TESTED IT ON A TEST DUMMY, IFRIT IS BAD.

Hey I welcome a conversation, though it seems like you're saying the same thing as me (ifrit is bad).

I agree contagion is good for the reasons you mentioned as well, though it's tough to double cast them with thunder & get off 2 festers while under RS. But you may be right that choosing to double cast with raging strikes is a better choice if you're able to at least double cast 3 of them.

Also just a side note: Raging strikes has no effect on shadow flare (this is not to you, just in general). It also has no effect on pet attacks.


@glim

When factoring DPS you also need to keep in mind the time it takes for Ifrit to walk to each target, his higher risk of getting damaged, and the fact that he does burning strke every 4 seconds, not 3. It's not fair to just factor in contagion losing 1 wind blade-- that seems pretty biased to only include that.
