You know PBAE always had limits. I don't know what they were but none were ever unlimited - this is a classic change even if the actual number is possibly not classic.

Topic : Area Effect Spells

This came of the official EverQuest message boards.

The rain spells aren't bugged. There is a maximum number of targets that all AoE spells can affect, as well as a maximum amount of damage that they can do. This was put in back in beta when people were training a ton of creatures and rain made them as easy to kill as any one creature. There are 3 different types of AoE spells in game. Their types are listed below in order of how many creatures they can affect and how much damage they do :

1. Rain

2. Radiate out from Caster

3. Radiate out from Target
