I guess you mean in situations where like in the new dungeons, when the Bomb spawns, while Garuda has to only move a small amount and can start spitting at the mob, Ifrit has to get very close?

I always thought our Egi's should have an elemental DoT, like Burn, Choke etc..but maybe that is way too much. Don't get me wrong I really love my SMN I am very happy right now lol.
