SMN - Pet Questions

[Viridiana]

I'm just pointing out an oddity and trying to understand why this is happening because I think it can be relevent in understanding how things work, mainly the relation between our stats and our pets and how it affects them.

As an outsider looking in (15 ACN, go!), is it possible that your Ifrit is tagging something with his AOE? The parser wouldn't catch that, and I kinda doubt you were watching the screen a full 10 minutes while your Ifrit wailed away at a dummy. Just an idea. >_>


Edit:

Dude...

ifrit crit 18.06%
garuda crit 17.42%

get a parse where they crit the same and i bet garuda does the same if not more.

Some basic math shows that the .64% difference in crit rate only accounts for about 1/3 of the extra damage. So, there's still 2 DPS to account for just to tie them, much less have Garuda winning before accounting for her other abilities.
