That wasn't what he was saying. He wants Bane to scale a bit better in regards to hitting *more* mobs the higher ilevel/level you get, or to hit *unlimited* mobs with DoT's. Mind you, this would be *broken as hell* because it would spread full-potency ST DPS to all mobs, but it was his point.

The only way to make that truly work would be to have it so the DoT's are spread at a % potency across all mobs. Which in that case, you're better off giving Summoners a new skill to go alongside Bane. Where Bane spreads full-potency to 'up to 3', they could get another AoE (Scourge, Plague, etc.) that spreads it at reduced-potency (If we assume maximum pull, we could say it could be at 33% potency, thus if you hit more than 9 mobs, it's a net-gain, which is speedrun standard.)

I don't think SE anticipated us pulling so much AoE in such large numbers. Summoner's AoE in any end-game content right now is actually really good - because there's usually not a reason to hit more than 3 other mobs.
