What is the current state of AOE Caps 2018

Are AOE caps still limited to 6 targets?
This was the intention and thoroughly explained by ZOS in the past for their reasoning with a few limited skill exceptions.
At this point in the game do AOE heals still target only 6 targets? At one time damage capped to 60 players in the field. (100% to the first 6, 50% to the next 24, and 25% to the last 30).
The intention when they coded the AOE caps from ZOS's own mouth was to be sure that healing could not out-pace damage. Where are we at now in 2018?
Just making sure I've kept current in the game.

General
Area of Effect abilities now deal full damage to all targets hit, instead of having a damage penalty after hitting 7 or more targets. Secondary effects from those Area of Effect abilities (snares, stuns, etc.) are still capped at 6 targets.
Developer Comment:
We want to encourage more tactical group play where players are encouraged to spread out instead of stacking in a tight ball. We’re still evaluating this aspect of AoE caps, and will make adjustments in the future as necessary.

OneWhomWaits✭✭✭Next patch correct, I have definitely been keeping tabs to see where that goes.
But currently I believe still in place 6 for friendly and 60 for damage.0 -

✭✭✭God, I just want Barrier to get buffed to affect 12 people.

OneWhomWaits✭✭✭Barrier used to hit more people, it got nerfed.
The salt was real when that happened.
We used to be able to barrier our entire zerg of 24 people. lol I miss those days0 -

I know, I was around during that time and I miss being able to protect everyone with Barrier. At least at 12 people, it would be mildly useful in Trials againEdited by Silver_Strider on January 24, 2018 8:48PMArgonian forever0
