dtaxtman86 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 For example, I take Intuition radial Paragon as a Brute, will this affect abilities like soul drain or shadow maul, or is it only ranged abilities such as fire blast, cages, etc that this gets applied to?

It says Strengths disallowed: range. So, range enhancement does not work on it. Nearly all attacks from melee powersets are coded this way, except the ones that are specifically intended to be exceptions, like Hurl. Conversely, arctic breath from mako's pool does not have this limitation, and +range does work on it: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=epic.brute_leviathan_mastery.arctic_breath&at=brute Another example. Most tanker melee cones are buffed by Gauntlet to have increased radius. However, tanker PBAOEs are specifically prevented from benefitting, see for example foot stomp: https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=tanker_melee.super_strength.foot_stomp&at=tanker (Note Strengths disallowed: radius.) However, tanker epic aoes do not have this limitation. See for example https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=epic.brute_soul_mastery.dark_obliteration&at=tanker You really can have a 22.5ft radius, 16 target dark obliteration or fireball on a tanker. Completely overpowered; abuse ruthlessly and make devs cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarky Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 increased range will not help with AoE. AoE is an effect in a defined area. Shadow Maul is an AoE. Increased range is for Ranged abilities like bolts and fireballs etc. if you launch a fireball with a range of 80, and you (through enhancement set bonuses, incarnate abilities, whatever) increase it's range to 100, that will still NOT increase the diameter of the fireball (an AoE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akisan Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 It'll still help with (non-melee) cones though, by extending how far the cone reaches (but not the angle). Circular (PB)AOEs don't get any bonus to their radius though, as @Snarky said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
