no thanks.... after playing summoner last tier, I'm really tired of ground-placed AOEs and would rather they eliminate slipstream, doton, and salted earth rather than expand them out. Tanks regularly pull mobs out of it, and for the first two, bosses tend to move around at the same time as you need to put them out.

I don't see an issue with it being a replacement for air anchor in AOE situations, just would rather that be it's own attack that hits all the enemies hard or maybe even applies pyretic on them for X seconds.
