In my opinion melee AOE attacks are gimped by the "cone" nature of these attacks.


I find that when you get mobed the bad guys stand around you in a CIRCLE and your CONE only gets one of the bad guys.


Now being that we are melee it should be a CIRCLE with a 5m range around you so you cover a good area, not a cone with has a distance of 5m that covers a really small area, area in the the literal length times width sence


Anyone else agree?

yea our moves are defitnaly circle, ive tested it on low end mobs for fun. took out 6 Akuran (sp.) Gungans in a circle with sweep 2, it lagged so it looked funny, sweep2, delay 3 secs, all fell down

sweep2 / spin1 / spin2 / area1 / area2 / stun2 are all circular area attacks. I don't think we have any cone attacks.

Our melee attacksare 360 degrees attacks.


Or are you talking about warcry 2 and wookiee roar? Those are frontal cone which is annoying.
