i did a bit of limit break damage testing.

In practice it shouldn't be possible to hit more mobs than the Mage since they will all be clumped in a circle in front of the tank. There have been rare occasions where the stars have aligned and I manage to hit 4 mobs in a row where a mage could only hit two, but I'm assuming the reduced potency is due to the fact that it's impossible (I think) to miss your main target since it's a targeted skill (not a placed aoe).

That's a good point too.

Either way, if his findings are accurate, there's really nothing wrong with it.
