2.6.0 Area of Effect Changes

Nothing to say -_-) RIP Reave

did bf aoe get a nerf?

I don't even kind of understand this.
RF is buffed, cleave unchanged and everything else nerfed according to the pictures.

conspicuous lack of info about flameblast getting native buff to compensate changes. Uh oh..

Excellent.

Reave and Cleave have the same aoe.

Now I won't feel gimped if I play Cleave instead of Reave.

I've always said that Vaal Reave is completely dumb and GGG has listened, nice.

Knowing this community though, they will switch over to path of projectiles since AoE is not as imbalanced as before. I hope GGG nerfs that next, so that spell/ranged can become more inline with melee and then they can finally start pushing out serious balance changes. Great changes, for now.

how does increasing melee splash aoe equate to less range overall

Melee splash a support gem that seems so lack luster isnt realy buffed wtf.

Did you just applaud GGG for obsoleting yet another melee skill gem?

Fire Nova Mine Saboteur is getting hit hard... Was this really justified, or overlooked?

Yea, i figured this would happen. Granted, i didn't see RF getting a large AoE buff out of this. In the end it is still a lot of nerfs for melee. Oh well, i normally stick to spells anyway. I will likely do a RF build as a starter next league since it just got a pretty big buff.
