Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[NoctisUmbra]

I'm not very experienced with SMN ( I have it at 50 with a relic but haven't used it much in endgame) but I don't see how they have amazing AoE. BLM has amazing AoE, yes. All I can think of for SMN is Shadow Flare and Bane (which only spreads to 2 additional targets max iirc - maybe 3 additional).

I'm sure SMN is capable in AoE, but I'm not seeing how it can be considered to "decimate" our AOE.

Most people, it seems, underestimate MNK's AoE prowess. It isn't amaze-balls, but it's pretty potent.

Ultimately, I'm not too experienced with SMN DPS to make any reliable comment.

Summoner matches BLM AoE dps if you OOM ourselves in about 20 seconds with Tri-disaster spam (or thunder Dotting), on 4 targets.

Summoner, and every class in the game, loses to BLM if the AoE phase lasts longer than 10-15 seconds.

Its stupid, and SE is dumb for capping bane for 1, and also for making AoEs so inefficient for everyone else.

Don't worry, BLM decimates EVERYONE for AoE.
