Leaguely reminder that Presence radius (4m) sucks cheeks.

Like seriously why the hell is the default Presence radius so small? It feels like a damn melee only mechanic. You could double that size and I would still want to build increased presence AoE.

BUFF BUFF BUFF!

I think the options for scaling up your Presence could use a tiny buff.

Makes perfect sense to link it to light radius imo.

Maybe not 1:1. But could have a % of light radius also gives pressence radius.

*Cough*

I'm tired of presence ascendancies feeling so bad.

By default this has a 4 metre radius

What kind of melee are we talking about covering about half a screen?


That's like 20 - 40x the "close distance" ability of warriors mace strike.



Let's ignore that you guys can easily hit like 8m presence radius with a sceptre and a few nodes on tree.

Alpha's Howl doubles the presence area... that alone covers the whole screen on base level presence AoE.

Was that a joke or which do you referring to? With alpha's howl the presence is screen wide...

Ah yes the mandatory expensive unique with a 91 dexterity requirement. Lovely...

Half of the melee tagged skills in the game along with many many monster slams can reach a ~4m range, easily.

That is not how the math works unfortunately. Increases to presence AoE affect the circle AoE not the circle radius. You need a 125% increase to reach 6m and a 300% increase to reach 8m. Alpha's Howl specifically doubles the presence radius instead of the AoE. It functions effectively as a 300% More presence AoE modifier.

I don't have an issue with presence taking some investment to feel comfortable for ranged/minion/support gameplay, but that threshold just takes too much investment without a mandatory unique. If I were to give some personal recommended number changes I would suggest presence be returned to a 6m default and for alphas howl to grant 100% AoE instead to equalize the change.
