A Fire AOE over time with a potency of 35 per tick (each 3 seconds). Their level 50 wide volley with a potency of 110 and 160 TP cost which makes it easier to spam and sometimes makes the 100 potency one free.

Dragoon - RoT - Potency 100 but only 120 TP cost so is much easier to spam. Doom Spike which has to be in a "line" but thats easy when mobs get clumped up on one tank with a potency of 160. Lastly, Dragonfire dive which is a whopping 250 potency though it can only be used every 3 minutes. Our spammable abilities are far more powerful AOE than bards, and in fact are probably more powerful than BLM because BLM has to switch off of Astral Fire to restore their mana so can't spam constantly.
