The only reason to use Garuda now is Contagion so you can use two Painflares. We didn't get a new pet nor any new DoTs. We didn't even get the glamour right off the bat. I still feel Dreadwyrm Trance would have been better serve to make a temporary Bahamut Egi pet. At the very least the graphic should have been something like Blue Dragon instead of the Bahamut bust we see in everyones house.
