Reminder to GGG: Flame Surge is also an AOE skill with terrible base radius

.......... ok. Seriously? Do we need to have a talk, r/pathofexile?

What the actual fuck does GGG have to do until you stop thinking they're a bunch of actually retarded monkeys with keyboards? Do you think they said "Oh, we're going to change how AoE works... let's NOT make a checklist and look at all of the skills, and hope Reddit comes to our rescue and reminds us of skills we don't think of!"............. really?

The Devs just... missed Flame Surge and Heralds entirely? "OOPS!"? It's a manifesto - not patch notes. I doubt it was a comprehensive or final list... and even if it was, it's an AoE NERF overall - not to mention that the main use of it is typically with concentrated effect, as pure damage anyway, not just because of its small AoE as a side node, clustertrap + trigger radius is op, and Heraldbomber could use some toning down if they're putting everything in check... ya know, like everyone keeps asking, to rein in the meta skills a bit. Single-hit pack clearing is something they'd like to reserve for only the very top end of gearing, I suspect.
