Honestly can't believe i just read this. This comment just shows you have very little knowledge on this topic and should not post on here giving new players bad information. As i have played BLM for a long time i can tell you there have been many occasions that my AoE LB has been more beneficial even with the lower single target potency you are comparing a 9000 to a 5400 AoE so if you hit 2 targets as Vageta would say "It's over 9000!" making this LB do more DMG in total with just 2 targets. The more targets after 2 just makes this even better. Turn 5, Leviathan (lv3 BLM LB can hit head/tail and add if positioned well doing double dmg on levi beating melee lb total dmg and wipeing the add out so DPS can ignore it), Titan EX and more are all examples where this can be beneficial.
