[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7575046, member: 2525"] And I disagree with your opinion. It might be more fun from a selfish perspective to kill one rather than debuff many, but the debuff to many will benefit the party more in all likelihood. It's like giving a +5 to all attacks for your allies against multiple foes. That's huge. But someone already did the math for you, you had a minor quibble but pretended it was a refutation of his entire analysis when it was not, and then you dismissed it because it was more convenient than admitting it still meant FF did more damage overall on average. I am getting the sense this is not a thread where you want other people's views, but is instead a thread for you to tell other people why you're right and everyone else just a poopy pants. But to be clear this is not white rooming for me, I played the bard, I had both spells, and FF was in fact usually the better choice over and over again. And the experience of many many people who played a bard comes to the same conclusion. You can of course come to the opposite conclusion, but unless people see you actually taking people's experience with this issue seriously (when you apparently never even played with it) then it's pretty rational for people to be dismissive back at you.
