Target Cap question

[brians9824]

So i'm trying to get all the details between tanker and brutes

 

Base Target cap is 

Cone - 10
PBAOE - 16

 

Right?

 

Tankers get more AoE so easier to hit the cap, and their cone attacks can hit 16 instead of 10 right?  The Tanker and brute target caps for PbAOE is still capped at 16 each right?  So tanks only hit more enemies with their cones compared to brutes if surrounded

Generally, the caps are:

Tankers: 10 for melee cones, 16 for PBAoE.

Brutes: 5 for melee cones, 10 for PBAoE.

 

In some cases, the PBAoE target cap also applies to "ranged AoE" cones.  For example, Breath of Fire in Fiery Melee hits 10 for Brutes and 16 for Tankers despite being a cone.  Powers can individually set their own target caps so there are exceptions, such as Radiation Armor's Ground Zero, which hits 30 allies/enemies for both Brutes and Tankers.  But most powers follow the rules above.

 

Tankers also get larger AoE areas thanks to their inherent Gauntlet buff.  Cones have a 50% wider arc and PBAoEs have a 50% larger radius.  Some powers are exceptions to this. Foot Stomp is already a 15ft radius PBAoE and doesn't get bigger on a Tanker, but many 8ft and 10ft radius PBAoEs get to be 12ft and 15ft respectively on a Tanker.
