Area spells 0 damage at 9+ Intensity stacks

it cannot be a dot or "pixel" because that would be against definition of area damage. It is a damage that covers an area. its radius is an integer value. The lowest possible radius is 1.

Where did you find the lowest possible radius?

With 9 Intensity stacks my radius has dipped into the negatives. Skills no longer have any effect. I was told this was not a bug.

They mean, if there were to be a minimum bound on radius then it would need to be 1 because constraints are specified in integer values. You could not have 0.5 units radius for example as a constraint.

I have no idea if this is true, or if you can have floating point constraints, just clarifying what they were trying to say.

simple solution dont use a spell with set aoe
use something like flameblast that has increased aoe per stage
and if that doesn't work inc.aoe till you are 1 percent are of effect

That wouldn't work,
LESS is a multiplier even if the aoe increase. It still 0% x Inc%Radius.

As said before it not op either.
-You have to stand still to ramp up intensity stack or lose them fast while moving and 1 while dashing
-You need 4 medium jewel socket to make it work, 128%+ more damage ? You mean up to 64% more damage since you get up to 64% already that you only start to have access if you ramp your stack over the 4 base stack of the jewel for investing in that much passive point. You have to ramp up your 5th stack to be able to start using it.
-Lot of build can kill pretty much everything faster than you can even stack half those stack while moving or in a single/few cast.
-Intensify only work if you cast the spell, can't be support by channeling, mine, totem or anything. Most viable or strong build use something like cyclone or at the very least, they are "mobile", if you want to play intensify, you can barely move for it to work.


I honestly don't think it would be broken to fix a minimum aoe to it to make some interesting build that could compare to some more meta stuff.
Awakened spell cascade firestorm (Or any spell cascade spell) with 1% aoe, sound good on paper but with all the stuff stated previously, it would be far from behind broken.

4% aoe is quite small but it still something like a bit more than 1 character wide. It can easily miss more than half the shot on something like firestorm is the aoe is half on the target at the firestorm even if visual they hit a good area are also a 4% aoe. making them pretty much on the pixel close.

I could see some bladefall intensify into bladeblast for boss damage
(again with spell cascade)
