I didn't have my pet attack them. I think it had died too quickly and I had used swiftcast rezing someone. Probably controlling it more would help keep it alive. Maybe if I use emerald carby for ranged dps? I'll have to make better use of the dots too.

I was using the pink level 35 book that dropped from a coffer there and full set from brayflox. My other accessories were max level I could equip. I think I'm just really clueless on how to maximize my dps for more burst damage. I assume this will be the same concept I learn here that can be applied to ifrit when killing the adds quickly.
