I too agree on not considering AoE when comparing skills in this case, it mess up things too much and sometimes you can't even use the full AoE of a skill. High Anchoring is a good example, how easy is it to get 21 monsters aligned in a single line?

(Also you can escape characters with \\ to prevent formating, like \\\* to render * without formating the text between \*the characters\*, when trying to show multiplications. You can check the raw post format with this URL: https://forum.treeofsavior.com/raw/321901/7412)
