I parsed damages from Ifrit and Garuda in 2.55

The only thing i saw was a difference of +10dps for Ifrit, using their respective normal attack.
This is only 600 damages in 1 minute, while Garuda cast contagion every minute, giving 5 more ticks, 500 damages/ticks => 2500 damages/min

Garuda : her auto hit + 2500
Ifrit : auto hit of Garuda + 600

+ we cast me ruin, etc.
The fact Garuda uses a GCD to cast contagion should lower the difference.

The difference is HUGE.

How is it possible that every body agreed since 2.5 that Ifrit is better on dummies bosses than Garuda.
I'm maybe missing something

Does someone have a parse of the difference of auto hit damages from thoses egies ?

The main thing you're missing is you can and should use Ifrit's oGCDs, either by Obey or, if you're lazy/newer and not saving Radiant Shield for any specific time, Sic. Once you add those in Ifrit can start putting in really heavy DPS over Garuda (not counting Contagion's effect on SMN) and that's where the potential edge is. I haven't tested it at 60 yet myself, but don't forget to add in the potential Radiant Shield damage on the tank(s) when comparing.
