Anyhow, i feel the elevation it's quite low now, it should be highter

...might be misreading but you want the elevation check to be more strict? As for the nm aoe issue, maybe they should come up with a solution that isn't a pain in the ass, make the aoe range take into account height so that the mages cant exploit a mechanic like this rather than creating something that's a constant annoyance. (again sorry if I misinterpreted)

no, i mean the high with it activate "too far below you" should be highter

Are there any dev responses and such in regard to this issue? It can't just be me having these issues.

Range jobs don't have the worst of it. Try being the healer when the party is fighting a bunch of crap on a hill. Can't heal people both at the bottom and top, even though the slope's a gentle grade, so I'm stuck running back and forth to heal folks 20 yalms apart. Next time that happens I think I'll just let half of them die.

Hehe yeah. Originally in my head range was trying to include anything that regularly does stuff to other things at range but I realise now there's an assumption that range = ranged DD. But yeah we all get it pretty bad.

This. A million times this. I don't care if they leave it on for ranged damage, but let me heal without a garbage height check.

Problem is SE doesn't know how to calculate distances in 3d, they only know how to do it in 2d so,
here you go SE this is how you fix it, maybe you weren't paying attention in school that day.

return sqrt((fDistX * fDistX) + (fDistY * fDistY) + (fDistZ * fDistZ));

that will be 50$
