reduced area of effect

hello, i am wondering if concentrated effect is my only option to reduce aoe. i am using flesh and stone, and i want the aoe as super small as possible so i can keep the damage reduction even while i move around the mob, i like to move in close often and i would like less radius between me and the enemy. i mean blind is good i guess, but i prefer to keep the damage reduction. the aoe on it is pretty large even with concentrated effect on it, and id like to find a way to make it smaller.

thanks for listening, gorghandi

It doesn't count the radius of Flesh & Stone.
"Nearby" is a constant stat, and no area modifiers affect it.

How sure are you on this? Nearby is used in every aura description I can think of, and the radius will affect them. I’m not sure why the OP considers the less damage instead of blind for such a specific area worthy of an additional 10% mana reserved, but that is beside the point. I don’t know of any additional ways to reduce AoE range, and there certainly aren’t any other support gems that do it.
"Nearby" on an Aura skill refers to the Aura's radius, otherwise modifiers to Aura AoE from e.g. the Leadership notable would be meaningless. In any case, the only other effect that can reduce an Aura's AoE is Intensify Support, which requires you to spam the skill (which has a cooldown) to gain Intensity, and loses Intensity when you move. So Concentrated Effect is the only realistic option.
