PLEASE stop telling summoners to use Ifrit!!!

Wanted to used Sic on both pets to keep the data the same, and yeah Titan took longer with Ifrit since we had 3 healers that run. Would be nice if the Parser actually showed how long a fight took. Doing another attempt now with Garuda just on Obey to see if the DPS difference is that big. With update with results.

The data isn't the same because Ifrit does more DPS on sic, rather than obey, and Garuda does more on Obey rather than sic. That wasn't supposed to be a test of sic vs obey. It was a test for DPS, and kind of damage. The fact that Garuda did more on an inferior settings speaks volumes.

Not to mention you probably didn't do any target switching, as you stated earlier.

This is why dummy DPS is important. If one does more DPS on dummies, and is ranged, it will always functionally do even more DPS.

There is no situation where a melee pet, while is already being out DPS'd on a dummy, will out DPS a ranged pet.

None, at all*.


*Barring specific fight mechanics where melee get some sort of damage boost, AND you kite the boss.
