Could be helpfull as an option (on/off) to have a sort of Circle around the selected target showing the size of area of effect.

Could be "nearby" range.

Could help to choose if you cast an AoE spell or u wait if there's only 1 target.

That's part of the 'skill'required while in using AoE skills: to 'see' the range before casting the spell.

But it's true that once it's casted, the animations that show the range are usually horrible!

At least allies should be able to see the whole area of effect of skills activated by party members.

Alchemy-like drawings would be a good option to show that.

Usual size of AoE is around 3 people standing side by side. Still, it'd be interesting to have and it could aid newer players.
