    As has been said ifrit's damage is physical so it's calculated differently to garuda's magic damage, so while garuda's potency is lower her base damage is higher and potencies are like a percentage of that base.

    E.G. if the base damage for Garuda is 100 and the base for ifrit is 80, garuda's 100 potency attack will do 100 damage (100% of the base). While ifrit's 80 base with 120 potency will do 96 damage (120% of the base). Then auto attacks are equivalent to a 60 potency attack, so 80 base with 60 potency is 48 damage (60% of the base), making the combined total of an auto attack + a burning strike 144, compared to garuda's 100 wind blade alone.

    If you look at the numbers posted by the OP you can see that they line up with this, Garuda has a base of 600 while ifrit has a base of 400, hence his burning strike does 480 (120% of 400) and his auto attack does 240 (60% of 400). While Garuda does 600 (100% of 600).

Embrqce has a potency of 300 and so does Adlo. but Adlo, at least for me, does about 2500, where as Embrace does a little less than 2000. that means the spell is only 80% as strong as my spells. while the percentage might be different, its the same thing for the egis.
    This isn't to do with potencies, this is because your pet takes 80% of your stats as their own.
