2.6.0 Area of Effect Changes

I dont understand why the nerf to area of effect had to be so big. A small nerf would be acceptable, but how it is right now is very weird. I got a friend to level70 (his first time) and he doesnt understand why i use increased area of effect when it barely does anything. I have to agree with him a little, the difference between concentraded effect gem and increased area of effect gem is very small.

You nerfed area of effect too much.

dear ggg... contagion got hurt too much. essence drain builds are already a bit slower, for having to cast two skills. better aoe to link up with more mobs would offset this.

please +2 base aoe of contagion.
Woah there! It looks like you have forgotten a few skills!
Cold Snap
Fire Nova Mine
Flameblast self cast
Vortex
Ice Trap
Cyclone
Detonate Dead
Molten Shell
...
My suggestion: Increase the AoE support gem from 30% to 70~100% but have a damage penalty similar to LMP and GMP.
Under the new system, concentrated effect actually gives you more AOE than before under the same investment (which was none for me) according to the AOE calculator. It still doesn't feel like it's worth investing in pure AOE though.
