mmm small question, are the DoT from BRD considered magical dmg or physical? I personally assume "poison" and "wind" are magic damage.

Perhaps with the removal of the shield damage Garuda will see more use.
I mean, it's still a magical TA with a 15s duration.

If your team has a lot of magical damage perhaps it could be worth it (I highly doubt tho)
PLD burst windows aligns perfectly and I'm sure it will get more damage out of this than radiant shield
NIN Ten Chi Jin + Ninki skills could also benefit nicely. 10% for 15s could potentially out weight the radiant shield benefit
SMN itself will benefit from it, this is not negliginle especially considering it's a burst job.
BRD DoT refresh too assuming it is magical, altough this is clearly not worth it compared to radiant shield

healers too, altough I wouldn't hold my breath on the benefit of healers having their DoT under TA+Contagion


I don't think it will outweight radiant shield buff... but who knows, the damage removal could potentially balance things out almost evenly.
