    Anything over 700 SS is a waste of critical or determination points.

    I'm at 1120 critical +food
    812 determination
    712 Spell Speed.
    For my own liking this is optimal. I can fit perfectly 6 R3.

    Back to the topic, it would be better to actually have the Egis actions rather than having the pets

    Or something like

    Ifrit stance
    Garuda stance
    Titan stance

    (Maybe one day Ramuh Shiva etc etc stances)

    So this way we open another channel to recruit new summons as their stances.hope it makes sense

    Off-Topic:
    For SMN, Spell Speed is actually weighed higher than Determination. Just slightly. : p
    https://dervyxiv.wordpress.com/stat-weights/

    My stats without food:
    Crit: 1095
    Det: 526
    SS: 921**

    I'm only i265 though and stuck with i260 shire currently >.<

    Have a bard? use garuda. Have mch? use ifrit. Don't have any? Use what you want.
    Though in dgn's you could always use what you want anyway because faceroll, but you'll never been in a savage raid static without a bard or mch.
    What I meant by useless is that without Contagion, unless a new utility is added to Garuda, she has nothing to help anyone. Her Enkindle is weaker than Ifrit's, she doesn't have a stun(like Ifrit). she doesn't have a unique utility(like Ifrit's shield), her AoE is weaker than Ifrit's, and her basic attack power is alot weaker, since Ifrit has auto-attack and the slash. Plus, Inferno and his AoE thing are both magic.

    Garuda would need a big buff to match.

    At 700 SS, your dots have a multiplier of 1.04.
    At 972 SS, your dots have a multiplier of 1.08.

    When you consider how many dot ticks you get in a battle, it makes a decent difference.

    You never lose critical hit points because you never prioritize spell speed over it. All you lose is determination and spell speed is weighted slightly higher.
