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.
