How is SMN overall dps?

[mvenom]

Should be around 20% even without the debuffs, though it's completely possible that my numbers have been skewed in some way. I just did some 10 minute tests with both pets, with different levels of micro on pet skills. That's not nearly enough data to give a concrete relationship, but it at least illustrates the general differences.

I'm 11 Int short of what I would have at full i130, so the numbers can still go up a little bit; debuffs also need to be considered, but it would be widening the gap rather than closing it. Wind Blade's 1s cast time seems to reduce the effectiveness of using Garuda-egi's other attacks on cooldown compared to doing the same with Ifrit-egi, though it still remains a DPS increase.

I assume this test was vs multiple dummies?
Doing more dps with Aoe skills + No dmg skills (Contagion/Radiant Shield) and Knockback/Stun seems not correct if not 2+ dummies.
