Pay no attention, OP forgot difference of radius and diameter.

I've been playing around with blockade of frost on my tank and realized that there is no way that it's covering 18X12 meters like the tooltip says.
I placed 12m Ritual of Retribution until one edge just barely started doing damage to a dummy then went and stood on the border at the other edge and cast blockade. It didn't start hitting until I moved a couple of meters into the RoR and was 10m from the dummy.
In further testing I found the visual effect for blockade matches the size of my 5m wide Turn Evil visual and does damage about 1.5 meters outside the visual on each side, so 8m wide total.
So I'd love a comment from the Dev's on if it's actually supposed to be only 10x8? Is this just an old tooltip that never got changed after you nerfed the ability?

That's only about 37% of the area it supposed to be (18x12=216 while 10x8=80, and 80/216=0.37), significantly smaller then what the tooltip says...

Did you submit this on the bug forums or perhaps submit a ticket on it?

I submitted a ticket yesterday and made a bug report just now. But to be honest I placed the discussion in general because I was hoping if the topic generated enough attention I might actually get a Dev reply. The bug report section usually only gets a Dev reply for major issues that make at least some part of the game completely unplayable. I've made a few posts there for game mechanic related issues like this one that never got answered.

It seems that you are confusing the radius of a circle with its diameter.

Ritual of Retrbution has a 24m diameter, according to its tool tip. Turn Evil's diameter is 10 meters.

Perhaps there's a problem anyway, but your tests as described -- especially the first one -- don't prove exactly what you seem to think they do.

Dang, issue solved. English major doing math, lol. Thanks for the correction.
