SMN a use for ifrit...

No, thats utterly untrue. Sure if its 4 targets or less, but im hoping if you play the Summoner you already knew that.

Ifirits AoE isnt restrained by a 4 target limit. In large AoE pulls like Brayflox Ifrit will come out ahead of Garuda in the AoE department.

Unless you plan on using Bane 3 times and hoping for a DoT reset.

Its the one thing that Ifrit does better, and im not spouting it out my ass. Garuda is just better in general, but Ifrit does much better in AoE situations that are over our Bane limit- and lets be honest Garuda isnt really doing much in that situation besides adding a contagion which may or may not be needed. AoE pulls tend to be filled with many weak monsters that SHOULD die before our DoTs finish.

If you Contagion + Bane, after 10 seconds, you can Bane off of the farthest target to have DoTs rolling on 5-7 targets depending on how they are clogged up. Then you can repeat just after.

Really in 10 seconds in most AoE situations, most things are already half dead. Im not saying Ifrit is the be all end all of AoE, we will never be a BLM but its better then Garuda. Im talking about very niche situations, where most of the time they arent going to bring a SMN at all anyways.

I just want them to get rid of Radiant Shield. Almost no use.

I've tried Ifrit in AoE situations and have always had much better results using Garuda. 15 Potency does not make it better once every 30 seconds.

Agreed on Radiant Shield.
