Would you like an in-game parser?

While I use Enochian a lot when I play black mage, there is this posted on the forums:

Enochian and AoE. Enochian is worth for 2 targets. It is worth to use on 3 targets or more for the extra damage. But it is not worth to keep up when you have 3 or more targets. B4 is 280 Potency and the 5% DPS gain from F3 + 2 Fire II + Flare is less than a Fire II. 168+540+540+1266 (3 targets Potency) is equal 2514. 5% of that is 125 Potency. 280 + 125 = 405 Potency for 3 seconds. Fire II is 540 Potency.

Unfortunately, BLM's 3.0 abilities were not designed for AoE.

Were you AoEing 4+ mobs a lot in fractal? Most groups I run into in DF do.

My guess, from the context that three people rolled, one after another, that this was after a boss, therefore single target.

You'd also still use it for AOE, you just wouldn't keep up with it. If they had done that, they would have said something like "Yeah, I already used it. It's a dps loss to use bliz 4 to keep it up in AOE." Strange how toxicity (extreme) exists without a parser, when it comes to damage. ;3
