Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

[Minorinz]

I guess Ifrit is only useful during trash that dies fast, then, and only due to radiant shield. It's pretty disappointing how a Sic Ifrit deals less damage than a Garuda on Obey, and Garuda's AoE attack is like 50% stronger as well. I'm seeing Ifrit Summoners all over the place and I just can't understand.

People getting mainstreamed pretty much.
Which pet you wanna use in a dungeon also depends on who's with you in the party and what comp it is, also, what's their dps output in general. Well, I care about this stuff to make it easier on myself and the party. s:

Edit: radiant shield scales with dex and str only i think, since nin and bard do get higher on physical damage than casters for physical aoes and cleaves.
