10 potency more "autoattack" which isn't so much if you compare the survavilibity of the pets. (Most bosses does circle aoe at their position) you'd have to either be able to move him from there in time (which proves to be dificult cause of delays on pet commands) or you'd have to ask healer to heal it, but then again, it's really hard to target a pet of somene else. So we end up having to heal our pet ourself, which takes away 1 GCD of ruin/bio/bioII/Miasma/Shadowflare which essentially is a dps loss. Until Ifrit has 150 potency attacks or pets AI automatically makes them avoid AoE circles garuda will always be better.
