You have a point, just saying that it seems unfair to waste time on AOE spells/ skills to have no good reward in turn for it.
What exactly was the purpose for all of these AoE abilities if they have no real indication in the full function of the game,
for the exclusion of behest/leve. The behest feature I think needs to be fixed with the campaign system. Allowing for players to reep the benefits of the behest as a whole, instead of singular mobs. perhappss
