I just used BM3 for first time since update and it quickly was apparent that BM3 was not doing AOE damage like before the update. I was surrounded by mobs but A, B and Specialty attack were all hitting only the mobs in about a 30 degree cone in front of me...none of the mobs on my left, right or behind were getting hit at all. Nothing in the skills descriptions seem to have changed, it's still Area 3 and Area 4 on the abilities. I sure hope this is a bug though because I can see it will greatly affect my soloing ability If I can't hit the mobs to the side or behind me while in BM3.
Just tried it again, same results...then relogged and tried it once more (this time with different mobs) and suddenly BM3 was hitting everything 360 degrees around me again...so it seems buggy.
also, trying to tank more than 5 succubus in PI nearly got me killed in BM3...they got me down to 200 HP (wtf, that never happend pre-update) and had to pop AOD to survive...seems mobs got a huge damage buff compared to before...or else the damage formula did a number on player defenses....either way, seems getting better gear is a must now...I doubt I can solo CA5 again with this update...I bet those mobs hit hard now.
