Talk:Area of Effect

From Guild Wars Wiki

I suggest we merge all the adjacent, nearby, etc articles into this one. Those articles only have a few line of text and all the pictures are the same. Lightblade 18:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Good idea imo. - anja 18:44, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's useless to know what adyacent is if you don't know what nearby is. MithranArkanere 11:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aggro Bubble vs. Danger Zone

Since Aggro Bubble and Danger Zone are terms for the same word, it was a bit confusing to see them both in the same article in different places. I replaced "Danger Zone" with "aggro bubble", since this term seems to be more commonly used. LunarEffect 23:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Within Earshot

When you use a shout that effects allies 'within earshot' does that include the 'shouter'? Anon

Yes. --Xeeron 13:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Unless the shout states "All other Allies withing Earshot" such as the skill "Save Yourselves!". --ChristopherRodrigues 19:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually that's party range not in earshot.. xD Halogod35 00:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

They're different things, so desreves their own articles. Backsword 17:42, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

If you mean the Range and Area of Effect articles, then I think they should be merged. There could just be a geneal section in the article to give you the info from the range page. I do think that some of the range information should be kept that is not on AoE.

P.S. I think we should add the picture from Range to the bottom of the page, much clearer than the one on AoE.

I don't think these two topics should be merged. Range is talking primarily about rangers and bows. However, AoE is regarding spell areas, such as the difference between adjacent and nearby. They are two separate topics. 24.91.134.57 05:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I also believe that they are two different topics - Range is about weapon (and spell) range. Meaning how close (in a line) you have to be to your target to target with a non-AOE spell or weapon. Area of Effect is specifically about area effecting spells (and weapons too actually, wouldn't the Dwarven Powder Keg count as an AoE weapon - I can drop it and the explosion hurts enemies in some AoE?).

I believe that if we move the respective Area of Effect and Range notes into the corresponding pages then we'll have a clearer picture of what a merged page will look like. I'll work on this if the addition of a "party" range is not too contraversal.--Pious 07:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Party Range

Should a note be made that party range is the same as maintained enchantment range? I've tested this, and the other party member was just far enough for his name to be greyed out, though not far enough to lose a maintained enchantment. Heal Party, Extinguish, and Breath of The Great Dwarf all affected him. --ChristopherRodrigues 19:59, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Half Ranged

Which one of these counts as half ranged, Nearby? Halogod35 00:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

None of them, it's about 3x longer then Nearby and half as long as earshot range.(Marsc 22:39, 11 August 2008 (UTC))
