Larian nerfed a surface?? Is there any logic to their actions?

So you should be able to center it on someone, and it would proc 4 times if they want to move out of it? 8d4 damage is decent. Unless you can just jump out of it in BG3.

I really, really wish they would create encounters where spells like this would be useful. But there are hardly any choke points. Where's that narrow mountain pass or similar with a horde of melee enemies charging through? Any hazard to block their path would be amazing. But no, every battlefield is wide open with lots of elevation, even indoors and enemies are always scattered all over. And many enemies have been given teleport abilities and ranged weapons, and the never ending fire bomb spam...

Yeah, the encounter design in BG3 kind of sucks. High ground has been blown completely out of proportion and other kinds of interesting battlefields don't even exist. How about a cave where two groups of goblins charge you from different corridors. Block off one group with a well placed Web or Spike Growth. Snipe their Booyahg with an archer. Of course Web doesn't ever work because the first fire arrow or fire bomb removes it.

Why is battlefield control not a thing at all?? It's just about taking high ground and shoving them down.
