Re: Bring AOE stacking back for the casters

Rain of Fire & pit of shades cant really start "stacking" again. because of how broken and unbeatable funnels would become in Battleobjectives. Example from Live when it did stack

As for the closerange channeling, magic dmg on magus bw and sorc, they still have the massive advantage of running the magic resist calculations instead of the armor meta, however also facing potentially 3 stacks of Hold the line, making these immobile channels be a worse version. Melee dps having snarebreaker, charge and able to manuver around during the channel is just such a big advantage over being a cloth user standing still facing HTL stacks and locking yourself in place trying to unload.
Mage close range channels with movement would be sweet, but i guess the old RoR dev arguement of the annimations would not fit would hold any proposal for this in check.
