    Background Info:

    I'm trying to kill lizards for my Leviathan -perpetuation staff, and I got aggro because I wasn't paying attention. So I try to use Slowga to get the mobs to attack Leviathan instead. Slowga only hits one of the mobs. This seemed strange as I had just used Ramuh to AoE Thunderspark a bunch of spiders (up to 10) to get my Ramuh -perpetuation staff trial done faster. The mobs were in about the same visual range for Leviathan as they were for Ramuh. I gathered up three Sand Lizards and moved them closer to Leviathan (almost on top of one another), and this time Slowga hit two of the three lizards. This seems like an exceptionally small AoE range. Is this correct? I don't remember Slowga always having this small of an AoE range. Tidal Roar seemed to be more on par with Ramuh's Thunderspark when I compared Tidal Roar vs Slowga on the same mobs (Slowga always missing 1-2 mobs and Tidal Roar hitting all the mobs in range).

    Steps:
    1. Gather up 3-5 mobs around Leviathan so that they are practically on top of each other.
    2. Use Slowga BP and notice that the animation for Slowga only hits some of the mobs (so presumably, Slowga did not get cast on top of the mobs where there is no animation).
    3. Repeat for the Tidal Roar BP and notice that all the mobs in range are hit.
    4. If necessary, compare it to the range for Ramuh's Thunderspark by repeating step 1 above.

    Thank you for your time!
