If it were that simple there would be no debate. A circle is a shape with a center, radius, and circumference. If people were to remember that and that EVERY OTHER CIRCLE IN THE GAME USES RADIUS, we wouldn't be having this discussion, but as that we are...

Except for the fact that some circles do not have a defineable center. You can't keep saying that radius is perfect, because it is difficult for some (not I, but some) to visualize a circle using radius without a definable center.

's Golden Aegis and 's  have definable centers, and therefore radius is very easy to use in that regard. However, this is not the case for 's Noxious Blast or 's Lay Waste which do not have easily definable centers, making radius not as effective in this case. Also, considering smart casting, many AoE's that would otherwise have a center point do not have a definable one because of how quickly smart-casters move the mouse following the casting of a spell.

To further clarify, I continue to argue this point not for my own purposes, but for those in the community who would not be as capable of visualizing a circle. Perhaps we could put both down on the ability details pages?
