It really isn't.

 

(and yes; currently on Brainstorm a Cone like Guarded Spin hitting TEN targets deals less damage than the same power hitting FIVE targets on Live...) ⚖️ 🤯

If some powers have less base damage that is either a bug or was omitted from patch notes for set-specific changes. That chart shows that Foot Stomp has the same damage, and that's the case for most powers.

Foot Stomp is a 15ft base radius PBAoE.
It didn't have its radius artificially bumped by the Tanker AT radius changes; which is what is causing the base damage of all the other Cones and AoEs to be reduced.

This is not a set-specific change.
They took the global radius buff from Gauntlet and increased the radius of all the individual Cones and AoEs with a base radius <15ft; aside from a few outliers like Shockwave.
This has resulted in all of those affected powers having their base damage lowered in addition to the harsh "overcap" reduction curve on >5 (Cones) or >10 (AoEs) targets.

Read at the two posts I linked above - or even just read the second reply in this very thread.


To be fair; you're not by any means alone in not realising this - as I pointed out only yesterday; there are very few people who have read this:

 Tankers

• Removed passive global Arc/Radius buff
• Increased the radius and range of all tanker Primary and Secondary Cones by 50%
  • Cones no longer have their arc boosted
• Increased the radius of all tanker Primary and Secondary Sphere AoEs by 50%
  • The increase wont push radius above 15ft

and thought "Hey; doesn't that mean that the base damage of all those <15ft AoEs and Cones is gonna drop by like 20-30%?"... but that's indeed what has happened.

And yes, if they're keeping this change (which I think is a bad idea, as mentioned in the other threads) they 100% need to be much clearer about it in the patch notes.
