ok i remember back in the day when they done the aoe nerfs (c4) the restrictions were that mages, archers, tyrants etc etc could hit 8 or 10 or whatever mobs with aoe
a 20+ pole guy could hit 10 or 20 or whatever
and anyone with 40+ pole masteries could hit an unlimited amount of mobs
i got into a discussion with my WL buddy today and he informed me that as a dwarf i am actually limited in how many mobs i can hit
basically what was said is that WL's get a self buff called fell swoop which allows them to hit more mobs than any other aoe class
maybe im going crazy which is always a posibility but i seem to remember when the aoe nerfs were added every time i equipt a pole i got a passive skill called fell swoop
so did they re-nerf pole guys in C5 and if so what is the max number of targets these days?
so we dont got any actual numbers on this? when was it added?
i'd definately say the 16 mobs thing is right since im usually pulling trains of anout 15-20 mobs, but am i crazy in thinking i had passive fell swoop in C4?
Pretty sure it's limited to 20 mobs without masteries at all.
The problem about hitting more hten 4 mobs with no masteries is that your arc, is at 30% not a wide angel to hit things now aint it, at 40 skills the arc is 90%.
In any event, pretty sure it's limited to 20 mobs at a time aka what skills is limted to.

so 20 mob limit for no pole skills?
what is the limit for full pole skills?
so far it seems im hitting about 15 mobs at once but i really cant be sure if thats just poor accuracy or poor mob stacking or an actually game feature
i really gotta figure this out its really bothering me
anyone else want to add some input?
I know you can hit at least 20 mobs if you have masteries, I train 2 large rooms and a small room in the cats when I have frenzy and rage and they all seem to die about the same time. I believe the aoe skills are limited to 20 mobs though.
pole masteries has more than 20 is about 25 mages have 15 and no pole masteries are 10 or below and 30% range.
if your asking for your pole class dont worry about how much your pulling you can hold more than 30 mobs at a time with full buffs and Vr and if your a freaking Destroyer screw everything of pole nerf they can throw the hole catacomb at you and you will eat it in no time with frenzy already up.

Destroyers are nasty.
no im more interested in my main atm
with the destro i just pull 4 or 5 cata rooms with VR 1 and they never die at the same time, but then the destro can 3 hit cata mobs so its kinda hard to work out if i just missed the others a few times or if i am actually limited
on main i pull 2 or 3 rooms of only agro mobs since the others are strong pdef and i run the gambit of never loseing hp to needing full spam heals to stay alive
if it turns out i can only hit 15 mobs at a time it would prolly be more efficient to only pull those 15 mobs so thats what made me curious
its not as bad as it sounds
at lower lvls with reasonable gear the mobs hit you for jack damage but the second you switch on frenzy vr 1 starts behaveing like vr 20
if its alright with you, ill go right on having nightmares that someone is actually gonna try this at a decent level :)
PS: i wear light armor a lot, so my view if 20+ mobs on me at once might be a little scewed.
