Ifrit egi dying in instance boss fights

[XenabelleS]

Hi all

I want to say that I am getting frustrated at how my Ifrit egi is constantly dying in boss fights in Stone Vigil and Garuda especially. Obviously, this is a huge detriment to my DPS. I've tried using sustain but usually I end up being so busy monitoring my own position and rotation that I hardly have time to also monitor the egi's health and be able to physic it up in time when he gets low.

Does anyone else have this problem? I'd be happy if SE could add some kind of AOE damage avoidance trait for summons but in the meanwhile, what do others do?

Thanks

Ifrit Egi is a High DPS/Low Defense Egi. So if he's close to Garuda he's going to get nailed by Wicked Wheel and posslby Slipstream. Egi's are sturdier than normal humans so he's probably getting hit a lot more than he should be. Try to "Place" Ifrit behind Garuda and use "Heel" when she disappears to use Mistral Shriek.

Alternatively, you can use your Ifrit Egi on plumes. You don't yet have Enkindle, but Ifrit's DPS on the plumes is pretty great!

When she appears to use Aerial blast use "Heel" to keep Ifrit fromg getting smacked by the tornados then "sic" him on Suparna then Chirada.

I really recommend that you level THM enough to get Quickcast. This will be a saver for your Egi because it allows you to instantly recast.
