Think whats more important for summoner at the rpesent is making Ifrit a viable option to use, as viable as Garuda.

Overall Ifrit does higher DPS than Garuda, but has a fatal flaw... It keeps dieing! Saw it today in Amdapor, SMn using Ifrit, dieing constantly on boss fights from PBAE. Addin a waste of mana to keep resummoning.

Simple fix would be to make it immune or take minimal damage from AE in pve.

Otherwise is it viable to switch between Ifrit for low hp trash where in many cases the normal dot duration expires before they are dead, nullifying the extender from Garuda, then switching to Garuda for protracted fights?
