How Is Garuda Egi the only viable pet. Each pet has its role and if you are playing summoner correctly you should never be solely relying on Garuda. And based upon potency of abilities on each Egi it is Ifirit then Garuda.

Contagion is only going to have any dps boost used in conjecture with fester. Which would mean to get the most out of the fester/contagion would be having to refresh all DoTs then use contagion and fester. Which in itself is a potential dps loss.
