Summoners do 35 + 35 + 40 + 25*1.5 = 147.5 damage every 3 seconds with Bane.

Their only other AoE is Tri-Disaster, which is also does 30 damage every 3 seconds.

This is a total of 177.5 damage.

If you also Miasma II, you get 187.5.

BLM, using only Fire II, does 100 * ~1.8 = 180 damage each fire II, again every 3 seconds.

Please tell me how Bane only spreading to 3 targets is balanced, and which fight has Bane doing more damage than Fire II.

All that math and you still don't get it. While the blm keeps casting fire2, the smn can be casting ruin 3 all the while it's egi continues to attack. You completely ignored these factors in your DPS every 3 seconds.

Ruin is not AoE. Neither is the egi. In AoE situations doing single target to 1 out of 6 mobs is pointless.
