    Ifrit attack twice more often, but auto attack itself do not generate any procs. Only Pet Actions generate procs.

But when you throw Contagion against the full rotation the balance tips in favour of Garuda.
    Yeah, I know they don't scale the same. Usually when I view personal dps, I see if it affects the raid overall, to make me a better player in the long term. The moment I've looked into ffxivanalysis via reddit, I saw what I've done wrong and tried a different rotation w/ only garuda on O11S. Saw a huge change cause I thought ifrit was the better choice. I now understand why they said garuda is the best choice, I just didn't know how to use it in rotation until multiple practice dummies.

    Just wanted to say I appreciate the kind words.

    I'm working through what's left on the To Do list for the website, the final few % are taking the longest but the end's in sight. This topic is one covered in the pets section especially since 4.4 resulted in changes.

    In the meantime, we do still have all our resources over at The Balance in the SMN channels. The pins will be tweaked up with the site release!

    Correct. Ifrit and Titan egi's "Attack" can never result in a Further Ruin proc. Everything else they do, including Devotion, can.

    I am very glad to hear that it's been of assistance! Ackwell and I have worked hard on XivAnalysis.com and the Summoner module - with many more tweaks and updates yet to come in the near future.

    If you haven't already we have our resources over in the SMN channels over at The Balance discord which covers the use of the different egis, or you can always ask us questions there. Rdps after the Radiant nerf is the first thing we set our minds to work since it's a complicated beast.
