User talk:Tennessee Ernie Ford/Drafts/Distance

Main page much?
This is great having all of them in a single page for comparison. Why not mainpage it? Also, has anyone figured out the EXACT distance/radius of Soul Reaping? The 2.5-3.0 doesnt help, which forces me to assume that its approximate to Spirit's radius as a form of measurement (similar to how we use Danger Zone is used to approximate Earshot & Projectile [Short]). --Falconeye 03:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Short answer: I believe that until the data improves from being unconfirmed-but-plausible, it should remain in a user page or sandbox.


 * Long answer: I don't think it's ready to mainpage for several reasons: (1) I posted this on a talk page first and no one seemed that interested. (2) I'm not completely convinced that all the non-weapon ranges are correct (there are a couple of contradictions in our articles). (3) I'm not convinced that the range:aoe comparisons are completely correct, either. (4) I'd like to be able to set it up so that there is an easily replicable example of each, without requiring multiple images...so people can see the visual distance and compare it themselves to the aggro range.


 * Slightly separate issue is that I think the Range and AoE articles need to be updated so that they are presented in a parallel fashion, if not combined into a single article. Range is the distance from caster/wielder to target while AoE measures from center of effect to its edge; however, they are both just different distance measurements. I think it would be easier to understand both if they were presented together. But: the consensus seems to be that they are completely distinct ideas. I don't think it's possible to change that belief without presenting a solid draft version; this table is meant to be part of that. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 04:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
