Lower level AoE blasts

Would it be possible to make these more attractive? You don't have to go nuts but let;s say increase damage to 60 instead of the current 40? NO ONE uses these because they are so useless!

What lower level AoE blasts specifically?

Cryptic.  

 

There are only a few AOEs I don't take on any combo

 

Usually related to long animation times on cone powers when the set has a super fast Targetted AOE or something like that.  My Fire/Martial blaster skipped Fire Breath for example.

Offhand I don't think of any low level AOE attacks that aren't worth taking in your build, what attack are you talking about?  There's a few melee cone attacks that are so narrow that they really don't qualify as an AOE *cough, Headsplitter* but they're usually worth having simply on a Single Target basis.

Well M40 Grenade for assault rifle deals just terrible damage and requires a KB-KD IO in it to make it worth while. That's the only one I can think of that really needs a good look at.
