THM ABL 2: Needs to be removed, replaced, or reworked.

[Sylkis]

if the range is significant (which im guessing it will be since its for 1 cast) , it can be used for pulling / pulling multiple targets

Since THM AOE is conal, an increased range also increases the area of the spell.

Am I the only person that uses Resonance on CNJ? I don't see a problem with the ability.

[Klive]

I find increased spell range abilities useful in multiple situations. Pulling, killing the runner in a leve, getting a heal or nuke off when rooted/slowed, raising a party member surrounded by monsters. It may not be useful at all times, but when it is needed it is extremely useful.

Range only refers to the max distance you can start casting at. AoE range wouldn't change with this ability. Only real use is maybe for longer distance Raises.

For THM especially, the cone AoE extends a bit further out than you can actually start casting a spell at.

Resonance is situational but I know from personal experience that it can save lives if a healer uses it. From a THM/BLM perspective, it might allow you to outrange additional AoE while maintaining DPS uptime. Increasing range certainly has value.

That's assuming it remains conal after the patch.

I for one interpret that as the radius increasing, and I expect THM AoEs to become radial just like CNJ. It would then be useful for AOE nukes in various circumstances.

It could be useful in pvp but that won't be for a long time. So for now I agree yes it is rather useless.

I doubt it, but we'll see. Conal AOE is better for offense than radial AOE, and if THM is supposed to be the more offensive oriented class, then I don't see why they'd change it.

Perhaps. In that instance the skill in question still is useful - perhaps even more so.
