AoE Spells

[Darklake]

I'm trying to remember, didn't AoE spells originally used to hit everything in the area but was then nerfed to be up to 4 targets? If so, at what point was it nerfed?

[Estu]

I don't know about the history, but I'd like to point out that there are still a few AOE spells that hit everything (the ones that come to mind are the wizard Al'Kabor spiral spells). I at first thought these spells were just stupid useless spells because they have such a horrible damage/mana ratio, but then realized that they hit all monsters in range, not just "several".

Depends on the type of AE spells.

Most Targeted AE spells where up to 4 targets - Examples, would be the druid lightning line, and the wizard equalents - in short, the quadding spells and similar [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Rain spells where 4 targets pr wave(3 waves).

PBAE Spells unlimited amount of targets. Same goes for most of the non damaging AE spells, druid blind(god i loved that one during arena events, you could hit an entire event with it.), harmony, mezmerisation (still broke here and limited to 4 tgts - i hate you for it), where all unlimited on live.

Chords and Denon's (lvl 2 & 18 bard songs) have no limit to how many mobs they can hit that I've ever noticed. Of course, there is the ever-increasing probability of crashing your client, but that's another thread.

I think it's broken for nearly all AE spells - I noticed that my Al'Kabor spells weren't hitting more than 4 targets. That must be why. Time to do some bug reporting...

I know my Hierophant's Crook hits unlimited targets for sure.

The pic in your sig is really disproportional.

Targetted AoE spells did originally hit an unlimited amount of targets, but was nerfed due to druids and wizards being able to kite too many mobs with basically zero risk.

No, it was 4 targets on live, not unlimited.

edit - Also, AE = Area Effect = Unlimited mobs within xmeters of you AoE = Area of Effect = 4 monsters within x meters of what you cast spell on

Rain spells hit 3-4 targets once, 2 targets twice or 1 target 3 times. I thought the Al'kabor line had a limit of 10 targets.
