Using a Plasma Thrower, and using Fanshot from Pistoleer...
Does thishit for 100 percent damage to main target, and 100 percent to surrounding targets in its cone?
Or...
Does this hit for 100 percent damage to main target, then 40 percent to surrounding targets in its cone (i.e. - on TC, as the AoE is bugged on Live)? Actually, the easiest test is to see if it does 100 percent to main, and 0-1 damage to surrounding...

Btw it still seems bugged on TC, I have yet gotten any of my HW to produce working AoE =/
seems the best thing to do until they can get the innate AoE abilities to work is to pull them and:
1) Add our specials back
2) Give our Heavy Weapons back their old animations and make them nonAoE...Even if they have to reinstate the consumable code
The existing code is/should still be there...
I would be one HAPPY Commando if they did that...

Its only a band-aid...
Think about it, if you wanted to help against Necrosis you'd do the same damage (around 1200 probably with overcharge shot) as you would in AoE. But with AoE you do that damage (hopefully if our PFT is 100% AoE, which im thinking its only 40%) over several mobs in an area.
Problem? We aren't tanks but we're suppoused to do our damage against several targets at once...thats our "damage dealer". So that pretty much eliminates half our effectiveness against single mobs as well as make us detrimental when a group doesnt WANT to aggro lots of mobs. There is no alternative whatsoever.
Its understandable doing that base damage in AoE, but it doesn't make a full profession mind you. It sounds like a good concept, as our damage will get better with other profession specials. HOWEVER, thats only AoE...against single targets we're the same damage with those specials for far more the cost as any other profession...
