Character size

Does it also affect weapon/aoe range or is it just cosmetic?

if i remember correctly, it does affect weapon range

It doesn't affect generic skill AoE, you're probably asking because of massive shrine?

It shouldn't affect 'weapon range', but it might affect character model radius, which would then affect cyclone radius (char radius + weapon range). Since character radius is 2 you'd probably need 50% increase to see your cyclone widen one unit.

I've seen this asked a couple of times but never a 100% definitive answer from devs.

Well massive shrine says it increases size AND aoe (but that also applies to spells). I'm asking because I was thinking might do the opposite. According to your theory there shouldn't be a noticeable difference.

I thought that was the case, the shrine gives you increased AoE as a standalone mod, not as a product of character size increase.

Yeah, the last guy that asked about it also used rat's nest, well, your char model size will truly get reduced by 10%, AoE skills won't be affected but cyclone probably will. The game rounds numbers used in most calculations so it's entirely possible that your char radius will be taken as an integer, so 1,9 will be 1 and your cyclone radius will drop by one unit, which is pretty significant if you use short weapons like daggers, axes, maces or claws.

My Cycloner has BOR, for this helm (it actually dropped for me - imagine that!) I'm lvling a shadow to use Reave with claws or daggers. The range increase on Reave stacks up quite fast so -1 range shouldn't matter that much. Haven't tried with conc effect yet though.
