PLEASE stop telling summoners to use Ifrit!!!

[Spythe]

turn 4. with all the mobs spawning at different spawnpoints, ifrit would be spending more time moving around than attacking + melee cleaves again, while garuda just stands in a safe spot and just range attacks everything you order it to attack.

even with the melee debuffs ifrit would lose because he uses burning strike every 4 seconds (delay), while garuda uses her wind blade every 3 seconds.

Ifrit is 100% useless.

I can see Ifrit being annoying in Turn 1 and unusable in 2 but I used Ifrit in Turn 4 and didn't have a problem keeping him alive at all. The reason I switched to Ifrit was Garuda pulled an add on one run so it delayed DPS a bit on the Demolisher so I switched pet BUT this was before the recent patch. Not even sure how Garuda pulled the add, it seems like sometimes adds in Turn 4 just pick someone to attack before enmity is even generated.

How nice, you changed your tone when you got called out. I'd rather you continue posting like you did prior.

How did I change my tone, I'm still laughing at people that think one pet is the clear choice no matter the situation. Still think testing a pet DPS on a targeting dummy is pointless. Ifrit having to move to attack doesn't "kill" his DPS that much. Landslide also effects Garuda because it knocks her out of range then she has to move in a bit closer to continue casting.

I will repeat I just don't think there is a clear winner of which is the better pet til more test are done. Is that changing my tone?

Did I ever say Ifrit is the clear choice no matter the situation?

At least we can agree that Mr. Happy gives out bad information a lot of the time.

At the end of the day I think it just depends on the situation to decide what pet to use which is what I've been saying the entire time if that makes me an asshole for not bowing my head and believing Garuda is the better choice no matter the situation because she does more damage on a target dummy then so be it.
