    Paladins and bards can't solo silence T2, it always happened in a tandem. If monks did it they lose a ton of DPS - Which a Ninja won't lose in similar numbers.
    Paladin is the only reliable class to solo stun eruptions in ifrit or levi adds. Meanwhile no one else should be stunning at all. This includes monks with Shoulder Tackle and Steel Peak and Dragoon's Leg Sweep and Spineshatter dive. This means that other two comparable melees lose TWO damage abilities while Ninja only loses one for such occasion. Also: Monks can only use one stun at 10y distance. So much like Arm of the Destroyer, they'll lose DPS if they try to stun it like this.
    The more popular meta for Garuda EX is to provoke the spiny plume, rather than to "bind" it. The only one who -could- do this is Bard without damaging and potentially killing the Spiny Plume. But this may cause more harm than good depending on who has the spiny and where it is located.
