Cone Rangers

[Saiyajinzoningen]

Long ago in a galaxy far far away, there was once a way to widen the range of cones. but this ability was lost during the great nerfwars at the turn of the century. Now peace has returned to our valiant city while new spells & technologies have taken our abilities to even greater heights. With a single enchantment err enhancement you can gain global defense or global resistance or even global recharge and even the ever illusive global accuracy. Let us research a way to bring back the cone wideners. I hereby propose a new set. A range set. With a proc that widens said cones.

There was originally a 'cone range' enhancement that was separate from the 'range' enhancement; cone powers required it to extend their range — which, because the cone angle stayed the same, made the 'base' of the cone wider. There was no enhancement that would widen the angle of a cone power. One of the simplifications that was instituted was to fold 'cone range' enhancements into 'range' enhancements, so you didn't need a different enhancement depending on the shape of your powers' area of effect.

Do you mean widen the angle of cones?  A regular range enh does expand the size of the cone, but the angle remains the same.  Being able to widen the angle of cones might be too good, (though if the maximum number of targets remained the same, it would simply make it easier to hit more targets in normal play).

I'm not opposed to this outright as there's some 30° cones which are a joke. That said someone will find a way to get a cone to like 360° and unmake existence as we know it.

If they kept them the same schedule as regular range enhancements, then the max would be about 56% or so, and I don't think there are any that would turn into circles as a result...

ED?

thinking... if you could expand a cone to 390 degrees, would enemies in the 30 degree cone behind you be hit twice by the power?

No, it'd just be a 360 degree cone
