Right? Just like every power, weapons need to have their means of setting themselves apart from the rest.
Power discharge is the only cone BB I've been able to observe, the rest are single target. I personally don't think anything needs to change, I don't see one AoE BB ability as game breaking by any possible measure. My final 2¢.
I completely agree that things should be fixed, but at the same time I don't think just "giving" other weapons AoE BB's is a good idea. There needs to be an appropriate risk/reward with them as well. In this instance PD is extremely vulnerable and has short range. I sort of need to agree with Eminence on this one to a small degree. I think something needs to be done in regards to giving the weapons something to offset their benefits is something that is needed as well. HB for example has a slower lunge. Not saying that's exactly balanced, but it is an idea.
I would add devs should give other weapons AOE BB´s to add diversity. Just fix the BB/Jump cancel crap. An upcoming problem no one has comment is Rage AM after update. You can start your counter with chain that opens with 10k hit > outrage for another big burst. Chain triggers the AM so the damage is way out of line. Is way more bursty than any other power. And please review the AM¨s of other powers so they can actually keep up. Or remove them.
No, I'm not. Not exactly certain why that matters. PM me about this as it's going way off topic though.
