It's now a 2 part ability with a 0.6 sec cast time. The first part of the ability is an aoe while the second part is a ranged throw, these things do not work together.
Why would I use an aoe with a cast time when there are players on me to then throw a ranged rock?
If I'm using it to hit a ranged target, then what is the aoe useful for?
With the cast time on top of this, it completely kills the ability.
The ability is fine just the way it is now on live, only thing it might need is a better animation in my opinion.
