If it's not in line-of-sight (and stairs have issues with LOS), it won't hit. Cones are true 3D cones, not 2D (flat).

Yes, stairs are...special. Instead, get some enemy group with fliers (AKA Clockwork, Psychic Clockwork, Sky Raiders) and herd them in just a way so that some of the fliers are flying completely above the rest of the group, and cones that are not weeeeeeeeeensy (Shadow Maul etc.) should hit them. The angle they are...and the length they are, determine their radius. Radii apply both side to side and up and down in 3D objects, so the bigger the cone, the higher the fliers' targeting boxes can be to be hit.
Excluding stairs generally.

I was playing with a corruptor earlier today in a council map. I had about 8 minions lined up for a dose of frost breath to finish them off. I was standing on a platform with the spawn either coming up the stairs or on the ground just below. The height of the platform I was standing on was just above waist level from the ground, so I was aiming downish. The mob I targeted was in the back of the spawn and the only one on the ground. The cone only hit that mob, it didn't affect any coming up the stairs. I didn't check the combat logs to see if it registered as misses, but I can't imagine hitting only one of eight even con minions with an aoe. Is this a mechanic of cones (a differance vertically putting the mobs outside the aoe), or just a slight shifting of the universe? I've never noticed this happen before, and I've not tried to reproduce it.
