Hello, I am a new summoner player (lvl 38 now) and I would like to discuss about the 2 damage dealer egis that summoner has.

I recently watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diROOR4VZKg and it seems garuda is better (that is patch 2.0 but I don't think it matters). However, I think it is better to use ifrit in some situatiations, one I could think is if the fight ends before your shortest dot falls off, thus making contagion useless, like when dealing with weak trash pulls or handling weak adds (like dealing with the adds in tonberry king). Cause in a short amount of time ifrit does significantly more damage, when garuda does more damage during a longer time frame. If ifrit isn't in danger of dying, I think it makes sense to use him when fighting trash. One other situation, although it's a one that should be avoided is if you really need to stun a boss, and you have no other job to do that. Although I don't really know any situation where this would apply.
