contagion was removed from garuda and made a acn ability? i say acn cause job abilities have to come from a job quest

What the point?

summoner i would agree with, acn not so much, as this would give sch even more dps power, and they already overshadow whm without it.

asuming it was changed out with another weak ability, this would actualy bring the ifrit vs garuda into a fight by fight basis to, not just garuda 24/7

Replace tri-disaster with contagion. Do some stuff to balance new egi skills as promised for the next patch (maybe give tri-disaster to garuda-egi). SMN doesn't need to be more powerful, it just needs less useless skills.

If you are taking contagion off of the pet and onto the caster, it would have to go to ACN and not SMN.. since its available to ACN already with Shining Emerald on Carby.

possibly the best suggestion i've heard ever, would make garuda more of an aoe/utility pet and ifrit a single target dpser, asuming of course its safe to have a melle pet for the fight.

Carbuncle would be receiving many or all of the promised Egi re-balancing that has been promised (at least any changes to Garuda and Titan). It's possible that this balancing could affect Arcanist positively as well.

But really, why play ACN after level 30...

*insert speech about cross-class abilities here*
HA lol jokes, lets face it they dont even come close to making up the dps of job vs class, as sad as it is, that even applies to war vs mrd, and this coming from someone who has all classes at 50 and does a lot of testing on all this.

What if square enix brings sky raid from 11 to here. That's one of the raids I enjoyed in 11.

It shouldn't become an ACN ability. I'd be ok with it going onto smn, even if it costs me another GCD. What people don't seem to realize is that we'll still just use Garuda since she's safer than ifrit in any situation. His minor dps lead won't matter when he dies spectacularly.

Until another ranged egi comes out Garuda will be our bossing egi. This is fine. What they should do is create new egis for other situations, like give leviathan aoe abilities. Then he'd be pretty good for dungeon running. Ramuh could paralyze, shiva could bind (and make her bind not total shit like all the rest), etc.
