AoE Notes
AoE Notes

AOE abilities affect up to 5 targets.

Jon Peters: https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/pr...#post75731
Quote:This is a general rule of our skill system. AoE attacks hit up to 5 targets. AoE buffs or heals can heal up to 5. We cap it at 5 because its the party size and lets us reign in the balance on AoE without impacting most normal situations. WvW is the one place where this shows up, but we believe the alternative is worse. Hope this helps…

Quote:It prioritizes targets.
For enemies:
1) Your selected target assuming they are in range.
2) enemies based on proximity to you.
For allies:
1) party members based on proximity to you
2) non party members based on proximity to you.
