Question about AoE decay

[Xizagu]

Limit breaks are non-diminishing. Caster LB1 has a base potency of 1400 -- you'd notice a difference of about 8k damage between the first and fifth targets if it diminished at a similar rate to Flare Holy Gravity.



Only Flare, Holy, and Gravity do diminishing AoE damage, while Bane spreads DoTs with diminishing durations. Prior to Heavensward launch, no spells had diminishing formulas; these were added to these specific spells in 3.0.

Oh. Well, maybe its with Brd/Mch then because that one had a noticeable decay., it wasn't as strong as Flare/Holy/Gravity, seemed to be a 5% per target down to 75%. I guess this should be verified as well though, since this was not my math just a FC member testing it (I'm too lazy to)

There is still a hard limit, but this isn't what he's concerned with so much, I don't think.

Correct.
However, the current hard limit is 16 now right?

Yes, can confirm this by undersizing Sastasha and pulling everything from the beginning to the coral formations. Damage numbers might not appear in the log because there are too many mobs, but sixteen mobs will die for each AoE cast.
