Can Red Mage aoe be less boring?

I'm still upset to be honest. AoE as a SMN doesn't feel as satisfying anymore because of nerfs and the loss of 2 AoEs. I know SMN actually has a lot compared to others but it's very limited compared to what a BLM or a RDM can do.

They'll at least fix Bane, since everyone hates it in its current form. They may even buff Tri-Bind into something... not garbage. We'll see.

I think it fits Red Mage alot, Red Mage as a class is simple (boring to some), while other classes like Black Mage and Summoner are less simple, because you can be punished for making a mistake.

Mage weapons are about 30% stronger than PDPS weapons. The potency might be 100, but it still puts it ahead of almost every PDPS ability in that light, while maintaining no issues with TP, generally having a friendlier targeting system (AOE compared to lines, or PBAOE), and building up to an actual AOE finisher (Moulinet).
