Hear are 2 screenshots with channel running. the skill reads gain +1 from all foes " in the area " . I have tested the range just to see how far in the area was and found the range to actually be " nearby " .

Is it the skill description that needs changed or the range that needs updated.
I feel channel should have the range of soul reeping.

If it were any bigger, the skill would get nerfed anyway.

Its not that the range needs to be expanded (it'd be nice if it is..), but its just that it needs to be labeled correctly.

honestly the range is rather short for the benifit unless in large agro in which case means a casters time is about up. I'd say at least make it " in the area" range, which is about 1/3 agro distance.

You are testing in the wrong spot. Turn around and you'll see a few rings on the ground. Stand in the center and look at the names of the units there. If I remember correctly, some will say adjacent, some will say nearby, and some will say in the area.

Post a screenshot of it there to see if it is truly bugged.

It's not bugged, it's just crap.

actually i did test range in the circle leaving a direct overhead pov I checked using a mic.lol the range is what i say. either the skill needs updated or the range does. either or they have an error there.

I say extend the range the other 8-10 ft.

can we please get a confirmation on that screenshot by another player?
I could have been wrong. But i did spend some time due to the build i was checking it in ( N/ME ) SS couldn't kill them. From what I saw the in the area was not gaining the efect only nearby targets.

The range labeled is correct. As seen from the photo at the target dummies (I also did this as soon as Channeling got the visual energy gain upgrade) in Area is about three to four character distances (maybe a bit more). Channeling has been upgraded nicely it doesn't require any more upgrades (Before it was adjacent or nearby I believe) And no this skill is not crap. In PvE and big PvP confrontations it is very useful I can even run it in TA and CA to make spells a bit cheaper.
