Thread: Single, Cone or Area Effect?

It should be clear what kind of AoE a attack has. Maybe the Icons should be redone so that you know what does what. Or a symblol in the discription like:

V 3 meters = cone size 3 meters
O 4 m = circle size 4 meters
X = single target

Furthermore i would like to see what i hit before i shoot. Maybe some arrows over the creatures in range of the AoE would help.

What so you think about this?

Great Idea.



I hope those stats aren't for real, because if the 'cone' is only 4m its going to be pretty much useless. It would be very rare to find 2 mobs that close to eachother anyway. guess i'll have to test it when i get the skill.

Those were pretty much imaginary numbers, if you're interested in how the cone works.. it's well.. a cone It spreads out wider and wider all the way till the 64m max range.


To give you some idea, here's some old screenshot of abusing actionshot2, the cone is hitting these 5 mobs at the same time here

The5th mob is behind the dunebut you only see the numbers on top of it's head from the hits. Like you can see the cone is pretty large, nothing to worry about The radar gives a pretty good picture of how they're positioned
