I honestly wish Despair didn't exist, and that was just Flare (with cast time adjusted to match Despair) + falloff aoe damage, so it would fit both ST and AoE rotations. I don't think this would change the complexity of the job in the slightest and we could see that cool spell used often instead of mostly just in dungeon runs.

Same thing for Foul and Xenoglossy, Shoha and ShohaII, etc... If there's something doable to be pruned is the case of an AoE action that works exactly like its single target counterpart, except for the AoE component. Is like if Dancers had a Saber Dance and Saber Dance II.
