Those ideas don't really resolve core "problems" with SMNs pets. I'm not saying make Ifrit do x2 the damage of garuda(nor did I actually say that) but some utility that synergizes with both the SMN and the rest of the party would be a step in the right direction to help alleviate the problems that SMN will face down the road; like when they add new pets that, unless they address the problems that arises from balancing around Contagion, will either be utterly useless(ifrit currently) or completely better(quite possibly shiva/ramuh) depending on what they do.

I kind of like our pets taking the supportive role and we SMNs being the main form of DPS, I just want to see better synergy/support from the Egis in this game.
