    Bane target limit

    Frequency: Always
    Class/Level: 50 Summoner
    Party or solo: Party
    Steps:
    1. Group five or more monsters together in a tight cluster.
    2. Target the monster closest to the center of the group and apply Miasma, Bio, and Bio II.
    3. Cast Bane on that monster.
    4. Notice that only 3 monsters were affected by Bane, even though all monsters were in range.

    This is especially noticeable in Turn 4 of Bahamut's Coil, where you have 6 or more monsters stacked together during the first and fourth waves.
    It will never spread DoTs to more than three monsters; it seems to give priority to spreading to the monsters with a lower letter by their name. For example, if A, B, C, and D are in range, D seems to always be unaffected.

    This may be an intentional limitation, but the tool tip says nothing about it.

    I can only hope that is an intentional change. Summoner is doing WAY more multitarget dps than anything I know of. Though it may be a bug, in which case well find out soon enough!

    I have seen this as well. The tooltip says all enemies, there is no indication that such a small number of targets can be hit.
