AOE Toggle Needs to GO

[Sylkis]

Current system
Choose skill > press Z to toggle > Enter to fire

What I think it should be
Press Z to toggle at ANY time. Have an icon similar to the red BR orb (green orb?) on the action bar. You can toggle with mouse in the same way that you toggle the BR orb with mouse.
Choose skill > Enter to fire

This gave me another idea. Have aoe toggles separate for each bar 1-3 , so that all skills on that bar become aoe/non aoe. (And have some setting to lock those aoe toggles into place in the menu if you want to)

But getting rid of it? No thanks.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. Can't read so many pages.

AOE Toggle needs to be removed. Terrible terrible terrible concept.

Is this being addressed in the battle update?

SE needs to make individual AOE spells or somehow remake the AOE mechanics. The toggle is too much of a hassle to deal with, especially when aggro'd groups don't even yield SP until they turn red.

I think your real frustration is with that, not the aoe toggle. There is definitely something wrong with always explaining why not to use shock spikes sometimes , but thats off topic.





The post below me just cancelled out everything?

I confirmed with the dev. team that in the future they are planning to remove the AoE magic toggle.

That's disappointing. Does this mean that they are removing the big button, or removing toggling all together?

I think that there could be ways to make the system more streamlined, but I like being able to toggle with a button over having a cluttered skill list (assuming you guys are going with the OP's proposal to add AoE specific spells).

Well if we are getting an "-aga" version of every spell, I hope we are going to get an appropriate amount of action points to set spells and abilities, more rows on our action bars and a lot more macros!

And I hope they're ready to re-balance very single class and skill in the game if this is their "fix".

Pretty sure that they can come up with a better solution than bogging down our skill lists/action bars, though.

Well this is an interesting development.

This opens up the possiblity of Disciples Of War being able to cast AoE spells in the near future. Not sure how that's going to fly.

That would cause balancing issues.

Perhaps and extra (optional) key press during the targeting? Kind of like now, but not sticky. And since you always have to explicitly hit it, you're not likely to accidenlty AOE things.

This will be interested to see in game, I'm so used to it now, but I am hoping we do have AOE versions of spells.
