well doesnt help when every job has some form of aoe that they spam. War steel cyclone, leg sweep, that brd aoe not sure what it was called, not so much with aura pulse from mnks. making the sleepga very useless. and blizzara is only good for soloing. (and the exception of the BLM af body fight)

Generally, when you're using CC moves like that, the LAST thing you wanna do is AoE anyway, because by then you don't need to barf out tons and tons of damage all over the damn place, you need to make sure that certain enemies do not engage in battle.
Not saying that the tool is perfect at all, but your use for it appears to be misguided.

no i was saying other trigger happy players i know that if we need CC im not using my aoes as a DD or if im Blm at the time.

What the op don't understand is zerging thru content does not mean CC is useless it's up to the blm to find out when to use the enfeebs and for him to say they don't work is laughable when as a blm I have soloed Coincounter from 10% hp cause of blizarra. I have also a number of times stunned a boss with thundra to stop it from killing a tank with an Tp move like 100 ton swing or the chimera moves or an bad breath.

Also hey just made debuffs on all jobs even stronger last patch and DRG i would say is second for CC skills, I found out today a drg opening with leg sweep in raids will stun everything and give blm worry free time to nuke w/o dying.

While flare DoT is not OP it does help the regen on bosses tagged along with Aero Resonance > Flare is so helpful on boss fights that it should always be used.

Only thing i do agree with that BLM should have a move similar to Cleric stance that will toggle some moves aoe or just simply add more combo's to make certain spells Single target just like the whm line of spells.
