General
SKILL RANGE & AOE CHANGES
This rework consists of two major changes:1) The radius of most Area of Effect type skills has been reduced between 10% and 30%, depending on the skill in question. For example a skill like Pounce has had a 10% reduction whereas a skill which covers the whole screen (or more) like Stormcall has had a 30% reduction. Skills with a smaller AoE, for example Carnage, have not been changed.
2) The range of most projectile skills has been capped to slightly more than half the length of the screen diagonal on 1024x768 resolution, in preparation for the transition to the higher resolution in Sigma. For example skills like Sun Strike, Flamefront, Stampede etc. will no longer offscreen on 768p (however they will still on 800x600). There are some exceptions depending on skill function such as Cascade. Many projectiles which had a range that scaled with skill level will no longer scale but have a significantly increased base range instead.
There are many benefits to these changes. They make positioning and targeting in combat more important as it becomes harder to spread your damage to the whole screen and make farming potential more equal across builds. They reduce the abuse of the AI by ranged characters, who could kill monsters before they were even spotted. Group play won't be as visually confusing and engine performance will increase as there are less projectiles to model on the screen at any one time.
