I was a scholar until 47 but I decided to grab summoner as a DPS backup. Due to this I was able to play around with all 3 egis at once to compare. And when fighting random quest mobs last night I brought out Ifrit he did some puny 68 damage and when I brought out Garuda, she did 208 damage in the same amount of time. I didn't use any parsers, I just visually tested both egis on the same type of mob. It's kind of annoying to have to constantly put Garuda on obey so she doesn't spam Contagion at the wrong time BUT she does more damage, stays far away (unlike Ifrit who runs close, takes 2 hits and dies) and can be useful for the summoners skills themselves. I didn't check how much damage Titan does but since he's a tank pet I figured it's pointless to compare him.



I guess Ifrit is supposed to make up for the lack of attack by attacking faster but since he attacks like a snail, he just plain sucks. Did the developers ever say they're gonna address this issue? It's a shame poor Ifrit-kun is destined to be on the bench until further notice.
