DNC Steps: Uncontrollable AoEs are bad.

[Maeka]

So... I've been leveling my DNC through Beast Tribe quests and today I almost got myself killed again, because I misjudged how close passive mobs were when attempting to use Standard Finish.

Finishes are AoE and you have no control over this, but yet they give a large damage increase and they deal a lot of damage themselves.

Could we please get a tweak so that the AoE nature of Finishes will only hit targets that we already have threat on?

EDIT: Either that, or give us a stance-like buff, maybe something like "Private Performance" or something that makes Finishes only deal damage to your currently targeted enemy (if there is one).

Are... are you...

... Are you saying you want to lap dance the enemy to death?

Yes, please!

I mean..they would die happy..right?

And somehow Dancer becomes even better!

Yeah, 15-yalms is like... huge. Why is it so big? Standard AOEs are 5~8y, why are finishes 15y?

If I'm not mistaken, earlier I tried to fight a pugil next to a mudstone for a Ananta quest, and I wound up hitting another pugil that was outside of aggro range. It's so ridiculous.

I would appreciate a change to dances, 25Y range for single target, 8Y for the AOE effect
would make it less likely you can't get a dance on your main target, but also makes pulling extra stuff less likely, and goes with the melee for AOE ranged for single target playstyle

That's a hot mess to work with. It's fine as is.

While I can understand the annoyance, that solution isn't needed when situational awareness is enough. Plus, that "solution" wouldn't work. If finishes only hit targets we already have threat on, then starting a fight off with standard finish would always miss, but that's the best way to start a fight.
