In the latest baeclast episode Chris mentions an AoE manifesto for Tuesday. The last time we got an AoE manifesto it was followed by the gutting of AoE.

I wonder if there is any chance that AoE skills are getting brought slightly more inline with projectiles now.

Any speculations or insights?

Most of the Development Manifesto about Synthesis balance changes is not related to Area of Effect. There is one paragraph about it though, "Some skills that had lower areas of effect than other skills without a good reason have either had their area increased, or now gain additional radius as their gems level. Combined with new options for increasing spell area of effect, this should help these skills be more enjoyable to use. You'll find new sources of increased area of effect on the passive tree for casters. (Note that we'll be giving similar bonuses to Attack skills in the future, just not in 3.6.0.)"
