His enkindle does more damage than Garuda's. Has a dot effect on top of the initial hit.

Is he more dps than garuda? I cant say.
Why he has burning wall though >>.

Given though that he hits more often and has more opportunities to crit, it is worth considering the increased chances of increased spell speed he can provide that gardua cannot.
try removing all your gear except the weapon, garuda's damage will be extremely low, at around 100 each wind blade, but if you remove all your gear on ifrit the attacks only lose a couple of damage (probably because determination scales with ifrit but not int)
