Summoner (another post) FFXIV:ARR

The Bane and Shadow Flare combo is pretty nice, we don't need any other AoE right now.

Also, sincerily, what @Deelo said is true.

I'm sorry to say that you're just completely off basis here man. You do not need ANY outside help to DESTROY Garuda's feathers. Tridisaster + Bane with proper DoT preparation beforehand (IE making sure you refreshed anything ticking off as soon as you get out from the pillar) is all you need... If you want it spelled out... You start casting Tridisaster when you see her start to fly upwards. By the time the spell goes off the feathers will have popped. Bane. Profit. You don't even need to switch off to deal with the other feathers, you've done your job.

Don't even need that much prep on tri-disaster just swiftcast it, cool down will be up before the next set of feathers.

Summoner occassionally needs a bit of thinking and knowledge of the fight in order to be effective.
I do think Bane needs a range increase and tri-disaster needs something additional like a slow effect if the bind is broken but apart from that (and the pet issues) I have little to no complaints.
