Why did SE take thunder away from SMN?

Don't we have 5 DoTs? Bio, Bio II, Miasma, Miasma II, Shadowflare.

Also, I would hope when they consider the overhaul of pets, just remove Contagion from Garuda and give it to the SMN as an off GCD ability with the same recast time... Garuda excells not only because of her caster status keeping her out of AoE range and her higher DPS (srsly wtf at that), but because Contagion is so so so so nice for SMN lol.

Ifrit actually does considerably more than Garuda, especially with a WAR/NIN and/or MNK present. The main drawback of using Ifrit is your MP goes down the tube from much more constant recasting of your DoTs, but in short enough content, like T6 or many trials, Ifrit is better than Garuda.

Hmm, thought I remembered throwing Ifrit at a Test dummy and he ended up doing less damage than Garuda. I guess I remembered wrong :X
