2.6.0 Area of Effect Changes

Holy shit, reave got absolutely destroyed...that's SO undeserving. You mean from 1 to 3 on the images that's +4 stacks? (which is 80% MORE multiplier to area)

Not only it feels off, it's absurd. Reave did nothing to deserve this.

Edit: I stand corrected. It's 200% more area, which is even weirder.

Extreme min-max AoE builds are nerfed by these changes. Builds that didn't go all-in on AoE are generally helped somewhat.

So you state: While giving examples of skills that only use Increased AoE support gem, yet wind up with smaller radius (like your melee splash example)
Even if you don't stack AoE, you win up with less now, so thanks. I'll be sure to appreciate the buff i got when my support gem doesn't go as far as it used to, despite me grabbing no AoE from tree. Really nice.
A scion may be born of the rich, and as such hold more opportunity...
but a scion will never be able to appreciate the finer beauty of those less fortunate.
Let's Flicker Boyz ,we have no choice , thanks GGG

Yeap reave is TOTALLY dead and I bet, with couple other melee skills.
These changes are outrageously bad, especially the melee skills that were already grossly underused and underpowered like reave.
