Why Do They Keep Adding Aoe Spells If. . .

AoE does jack-&%$# now after the nerf, i see every old profession has a bunch of new AoE spells, that are pretty much identical to previous ones, with the exception of maybe a few energy cost, 5 maximum damage or so forth, so tell me, why do they keep putting in theese lame excuses for skills if new ones are useless, if i need a spell to keep enemies away from me while im running i dont need 5 6 or 7 different options

If you play magic the gathring have multiple copies of similiar / same spells (with different) names comes in handy.

That and they like AOE for use with Assasin's, Warp unload, get out of dodge.

'cause in PvP people are generally more stupid than PvE monsters and AoE?DoT still works pretty effectively. Plus with the introduction of Alliance battles, you get a lot gang-ed up people all the time. Nukers eles own that.

Yes, AOE definitely is nasty in the alliance battles.

Meteor Shower, Well of Suffering, etc.

Its interesting to see BARRAGE rangers in a pvp match, but hey...what do you know, they work perfectly.

People in the 12v12 seem to think if you hold the middle alter you win, but the middle alter is the same as any other one eh.

Pretty funny when there is a 12v12 situation and theres AoE, and you just cant move as everyone is bodyblocked.

unstable ground (i believe thats what its called) is killer.

unsteady ground.

yes this spell is cheaper, cast faster and recharged more quickly than any other AOE spell that comes to my mind, AND it has knockdown when attacking.

i love it. :P

but i dont think you can compare it with crap like meteor shower or erruption for the exact same reasons.
