Warden's Fungal Growth - Argument for Expanding the Width of the Cone Heal

Fungal Growth Tooltip: "Seed a large area of mushrooms that heals you and all allies in your frontal cone for Health."
The tooltip seems misleading in calling the area of mushrooms "large" because the width of the cone is quite small, which requires precise aim from the user that increases in difficulty as common variables become present in battle (such as ally movement and healer movement). Due to the size of its cone, Fungal Growth has a smaller margin of error compared to most other heals in the game, which are heals that offer a larger margin for error and are more capable of handling unpredictable movements of mobile allies.
The higher rate of missed heals coupled with its casting cost makes Fungal Growth difficult to consider using over (for example) Grand Healing, which is a targeted, wider AOE heal that offers a larger margin of error, hits multiple targets, and has a cheaper cost.

✭✭✭Does the tooltip tell us how wide the conal is in degrees? I can't seem to find any info on current size. I know it is rather small, but would be good to know how small. If there is no info on it then there really should be. Needs to be added. Cause if we know how small it is its gonna be easier to give a suggestion on size.0 -

The tooltip lacks information on the width. Range is 20 meters.
Comparing the visual of the max width (at the end of the cone, which is 20 meters) to other skills that have width tooltips, my estimation based on the visual animation that is availabe is that at max range (20 meters) the cone reaches 5 meters in width.
Any part of the cone under the 20 meter max range appears to have a width less than 5 meters.0 -

✭Try being in a smaller group. It’s much easier to see/hit your ally when your red shield ally is surrounded by a sea of blue.0 -
Toast_STS✭✭✭✭Good point. It's a good self heal on a stam warden but I don't even slot it on my magicka warden healer.VR14 DK Leaps-in-keeps0

✭✭✭✭✭While I won't disagree that I had trouble, but see to work fine as long as you a bit further away from the group. Maybe try a different position?Edited by Tasear on February 2, 2018 4:56PM0
