AoE problem. Again

[Brytwend]

Been having the same issue, the Puk Hatchlings "Fireball" attack is just a circle on the ground, but if you don't leave it immediately you take damage even if you're outside of the circle when it hits. It's been the same with most weaponskills done by human enemies, especially the Marauder types. "Overpower" really hurts on a mage character and you can't escape unless you move backwards as soon as the skill comes up.

I find it much more effectively to run through them when it comes to overpower and most other conal aoes.

Some attacks I just can't avoid, but those ones usually aren't the most devastating.

I do this as well, stepping forward 2 -3 steps is a lot faster than running 10 ft left or right on cone abilities.

I agree, I've taken to doing that as well, but occasionally I'll still take the damage from it as if the enemy simply turned around to face me and I was still in the cone. You're right though, the unavoidable ones really aren't all that bad, unless you're under the level of the enemy you're fighting or you get ganged, both cases where you're bound to end up in a struggle already.
