Talk:Garm Fenrir (Frozen Fangs)/@comment-136.2.1.107-20140728153137/@comment-24231486-20150130182731

There is actually some situational utility for Garm in late-game questing, most notably versus Asmodeus in the Demon's Gauntlet. In the 3rd round, you can use his taunt to draw the thunder fodder's (single-target) attack away from your more valuable spirits. His HP is so high that with good deviations, he might actually survive that hit, too. Furthermore, his TTC is faster than that of most shielders (7 versus the usual 9). More generally, you'd use him for similar quests in which you lack a proper shielder and the hardest hitting enemies are single-target attackers, or for situations where the faster TTC is actually valuable. So he has some use. But to be more realistic, you probably won't be missing out on much...
