Okay so I just earned flame cone 1...and this mob of Sharnaffs are attacking me, and I press my toolbar button for "Flame Cone 1 (Affects multiple targets spreading a sheet of flame)" and only ONE Sharnaff takes the damage. What is up with that? Flame cone is seriously bugged, or I am doing something wrong.

Sharnaffs usually attack on different sides. Make sure they are in front of you when you use FlameCone.

I just made Flame 2 last night.
I had the same problem. There were multiple targets, but the cone just hurt the one I had targeted.
I did "rotate" around when I shot, but it didn't seem to hit anything other then my target.
The flame 1 hits really nice now though
What are the minimum ranges for the special attacks???
I hate the fact that things have to be in your lap before you can flame 1 them.
I had to take a screenie of me shooting stuff with my LP. The entire screen was orange and yellow. I couldn't see anyhthing.

The effective range for flamecone seems to have been reduced. Unless your targets are almost standing inside of each other, and pretty much dogpiled on you or in front of you, flamecone will only hit one target.

Heh..you rotated...This isn't a FPS, man. The game determines if you hit something or not the instant the attack goes off. If the target isn't within the predefined cone range of the attack, in front of you, when the attack goes off, it's not an eligble target, and will not get hit. As far as what the cone is, i find that if the target's inside the 90 degrees in front of me, most things get hit.
Lately, since the DoT's so pathetic now, I find myself doing /dance just before I hit my cone attack. I figure If i'm not gonna actually hurt things, I may as well entertain them

Devir92 hit the Rebel on the head with that one. you have to make sure that your target is within 16 Meters(Max. range for the /flameSingle1 & 2 specials)and in a 90 degree arc infront of you. If your target is not, you will not hit them.I NEVER wear my tag up in PvP for this reason. If someone sees it, and stays outside of 16 Meters... youcan't put a DoT on them,you can't do much Damage and you're gonna get pasted. That's why I keep Mr. AT-ST in my shirt pocket though =) Also, if I'm getting surrounded in PvE I'll tack on a /burstRun (depending on the speed of the opponents) and run a little bit until they line up in a "train" behind me. THEN I'll smash the special key and ruin ALL their haircuts. =) good luck boss. Hope our responses help.

Um, yes, I rotated. when you shoot a Flame Cone 1 your avatar shoots, and rotates to sweep the Flame across your targets. I was stating this to let people know that the attack was shooting across multiple targets without hitting them.
I fugured out a way to make it work last night. I send in my pet to the lair, all the monsters attack it, then they are all within my cone area. It worked!
