Summoner Question

[SeraviEdalborez]

Increasing the master's STR does not increase Ifrit's damage. If you believe this, you are mistaken.

If one looks at any given weapon of a certain ilvl one can infer that, for attacks of equal potency, magic attacks are generally more powerful. Compare, say, Sphairai Animus's 49 Physical damage vs The Veil of Wiyu Animus's 69 Magic damage. We can assume pet "weapons" work similarly, or mechanics otherwise align such that magic just generally does more damage than melee to counterbalance the (usual) lack of autoattacks.
