I remember the staff radius for most spells like fire 2, geyser, earth 2, static field used to be larger before the patch. Can anyone confirm that? Isn’t the staff radius trait baseline now? I remember seeing this but I cannot find any associate trait.

It is absolutely devastating in all modes especially pvp.

Yes. Actually, it seems to be Geyser that suffers from an obvious bug. Just look it yourself.
Lava Font is 180 radius while Geyser is 240 radius; both have the same radius at the moment.

Probably going to be fixed in 4 months.

This is one of the many bugs which will never be fixed. Since all current Devs are working on the Elementalist. Which created even more despair for the class.
So we’re better as things are now, before they get worse – we were there already..

It was a few patches ago that this problem first showed up. I keep expecting the next patch and the next patch to fix it, but no such luck…

No, that’s not the case. It still applies to Meteor Shower and Healing Rain.

It is just visual bug. Geysir area is still bigger than lava font even though animation is same size. You can test it with finishers.
Staticfield is is as big now as it was before patch with blasting staff.

> Geyser: Updated the radius skill fact to reflect the correct size.

There. It’s fixed.

I can’t wait until ANet releases the game promoted in the manifesto.
Until that, I’ll play GW2.

Gyeser, healing rain, lightning field and meteor shower has different effective/visual radius compared to tooltip.

http://pastebin.com/3NgBwUQd
Small circle radius ~180, bigger radius ~240.
2nd pic blasting water field, radius almost 240 → Area blast
3rd pic blasting fire field, radius almost 240 → No might

I’ve tested it myself. Indeed, you can get healed from out of the water field. But still, it is deceiving and a bug. At least, you get the heal in the radius.
