I've been gone for about 4 months...

Normally, I use AEL by snapcasting at the target's back (prep ael 5; cast back)

It used to be very effective that way, and I noticed very little improvement (if any) when I did full targeting instead.

Now it's seeming much less effective, and full targets are obviously stronger.

Did they actually change something about AEL? Or about all TM or first tier in general?

I might be wrong about the exact date this fix got rolled in, but 4 or 5 months sounds about right. Apparantly, there was a bug with all TM spells that would allow snap casting at a body part (i.e. prep ael 5, cast head) to act as though it was a fully targetted spell. As a result of the fix, that kind of casting has become less effective, and one must fully target to achieve similar damage results.

Hope that helps.
