Many of us see it time and time again 5-10-15 and even 20 or more Blm show up for a fate (In this case the Costa bomb fate) and spam area ice spells over and over and over. The targets all drop like flies and this coupled with the constant lag of enemies appearing makes it next to impossible to get a descent contribution towards a fate.

In regards to fates the playing field is so in their favor it is becoming impossible to contribute anything. During fates i ask that you slow down the recast time of area spells\skills considerably or seriously nerf them to level the playing field for the rest of the classes incapable of making a descent contribution in their presence. -.-

What real incentive is their to play anything but DPS? We can't even get 1 measly stinking bomb ash because we have to contend with AOE classes soaking up all the points and exp. The contribution of classes incapable of doing AOE from the get go needs to be raised considerably to be on par with these classes.
