what I'm addressing though, are the points you are trying to make, that ifrit could be the better choice if there is a monk around to debuff the target. which still is not the better choice, and a lot worse if there is no monk debuff.

LMAO people thinking they know shit but at the end of the day they don't know shit. Testing Ifrit on a parser means nothing since he gets benefits from all the melee debuffs. Melee heavy group use Ifrit, if not use Garuda its that simple. People thinking they have the entire game figured out within a month after release. People all think parsers are the end all be all of dmg output. Once again

IFRIT BENEFITS FROM MELEE DEBUFFS SO IN A MELEE HEAVY GROUP IFRIT IS MORE RAW DMG

GARUDA IS BETTER IN NON MELEE HEAVY GROUPS

Contagion utility is a completely different conversion.

STFU with test dummy resaults because it literally means nothing since you're rarely alone DPS a target down.

LMAO so you made a thread calling other people bad because of miss information and now trying to justify spamming Ruin II instead of 1..... If you're spamming Ruin II AND not running out of mana you're playing the SMN horrible wrong. If I forgot to cast Aetherflow for whatever reason I run out of mana fairly quick. Please no new SMN take this thread seriously just bad information all around.
I'm pretty much just challenging your first post to see if it's true, since you acted so sure about it.
