Corpseburster Needs A Radius Increase

Hello!
Just making a quick post about this since I really like the set conceptually and think it has a lot of potential.
After some testing I can conclude that due to positional desyncs & constant movement in PvP... this set feels somewhat lackluster, even when building around it.
The main issue is that the explosion is centered on a corpse and has only 5m radius - this is significantly less than the radius of a lot of automatic procs such as Tarnished Nightmare, Cinders of Anthelmir, Rush of Agony, Hrothgar etc
I believe this set could easily be made good for PvP as well with a simple buff to the radius of the explosion without it affecting PvE too much... and that radius should be 8m like most of the PvP viable sets out there.
There is also an issue with the set when run together with Nobility in Decay where the corpse you create with Nobility cannot be utilized for Corpseburster explosion.
Edit: fixed in latest incremental patch.
As it stands, I unfortunately don't see this set replacing Tarnished Nightmare etc on necromancer PvP builds.

✭At the minimum it should be 7 meters, the current 5m radius is less than a melee light attack. For an explosion that's a bit odd. The set itself is strong and most importantly, fun to use at least. I've been using it on all my pve builds. I noticed the issue running this set with nobility in decay as well during the pts cycle. Hope that gets addressed eventually. I'm just glad necromancer got something nice, could have gotten a meme set like the sorcerer one.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The set deals decent damage in PvP, a little less than Tarnished/Rush/Blossom but with the benefit of proccing on your defensive rotations as well.
It definitely needs a radius increase though. Even on a Rush build stunning the pile as soon as they get pulled in, the proc will still sometimes miss despite the corpse being right on top of the pile.1
