Dear Dragoons. Your AoE is actually good.

Let's say there's 6 enemies with 50k HP each, and your party can either do 2500 dps to one of them at a time, or 1000 dps to all of them at once. Which method would kill them all the fastest?

There's a reason parties with BLM, WHM, BRD, and WAR have always had faster dungeon runs, and it's not because of their superior ST damage.

At this point the only thing that makes their math make any sense at all is they think aoe damage is split between enemies, as in "100 potency death blossom to 5 enemies means 20 potency each". That's the only way I can even remotely come close to their conclusion that death blossom vs 6 mobs is "a 60% dps loss". smh
