Ahk Morn is available, what -- i don't play SMN -- every 120 seconds? So if you're lucky, that 120 second window might line up with where you can maximize AoE. It sounds to me like SMN AoE was nerfed in many more ways than just lost potency. Their whole ability to optimize their dps for AoE damage is ruined because the Bahamut rotation is so restrictive.
Actually you can pop off 2 Akh Morn when Bahamut is out for the 20s duration. SMN's AoE attacks are Bane, Painflare, Deathflare, Enkindle, shadowflare, and Akh Morn. Honestly I'm confused on who is actually having issues AoE trash pulls in dungeons. Also bane was nerf because SE hates speed runs but doesn't understand how to nerf speed runs.
