Alot of our descriptions have nothing at all to with the actual effects of our specials. We are trying to get the specials to work as described, or to have the descriptions changed.
/fan is an AOE attack, with a "kill zone" that is a 30 degree forward cone, but it will only damage opponents you have already damaged in combat. Try tagging all the baddies with a /bodyshot, then unleashing /fan. You will see a marked improvement in the effects.
ok thanks for answering that question, I was laying prone, targetting the first of three targets and even though it said I registered, say, a body shot, no damage occured. is this considered a bug with fanshot?

Tested this last night while doing my final Act 3 mission. RIght next to my objective werea bunch of Crystal Snakes. So I target one snake, hit it once with a bleed shot, then do /fanshot. Sure... all three snakes were hit, but so where half the NPCs standing nearby (much to my dismay). So there I am... 3 snakes (with more popping from the lair cause /fan hit that too) and 10 agro NPCs.
Bad! 
Must remember to be a little bit more careful with fanshot.

if the other targets are not in aggro mode, then no damage will occurr on them using an aoe attack... so... just hit twice with fanshot.... it makesthe lot of them aggro hence, damageable....
its the same deal with most of the aoe attacks in this game.. its a bi-product of the combat structure, not really a bug..
is that is as the devs intended then cool, I know to cycle through the targets when laying prone and not gaining aggro. Is this in the FAQ?
