PLEASE stop telling summoners to use Ifrit!!!

I'm siding with who? what makes you think I'm siding with anyone here, I'm critiquing both of you.

From the grapevine, I'm don't even know if its true but if Ifrit benefits from 1 melee debuff he will be more damage than Garuda. The only test I've done have been on Titan where I used Ifrit for a run and Garuda for a run. Ifrit total was 25k dmg while Garuda was 20k now does Contagion make up for that difference? Don't know and we only had a MNK appealing the melee debuff. I just laugh at anyone dumb enough that thinks doing damage on a test dummy proves anything when it comes to pets.

I guess I don't run with enough BLMs but I don't play with any BRDs that use Foe Requiem but my Coil group is melee heavy with me being the caster so it makes sense.

I think me and you are on the same page where we are at least curious to fully test Ifrit before we claim he is bad and awful. I mean it makes a lot of sense to have a melee pet do more melee dmg with melee debuffs. While a caster pet does more caster dmg with a caster debuff.

People also forgot that Ifrit hits twice as much as Garuda so its more likely to proc Enhanced Pet Abilities which gives you a nice haste bonus. So the argument should be is that buff better than Contagion every minute, I think Contagion is amazing and great but a bit overrated.
