It's an AoE centered around the target, and it has a pretty short range, so you have to get pretty close to the target to activate it. Hence Close (Targeted AoE).
Yeah, I think it has the same AoE radius as fireball. It's centered on your target, you just have to be MUCH closer to that target than you would for fireball. I personally really like the earth APP, and fissure really isn't much harder to use than fireball. You just have to remember to get closer.

First, thanks all for the responses and info. It was very helpful.
One thing I have noticed (and something I should have checked before) is that the average damage is a bit lower than Fireball (~54 compared to ~75).

Yeah, that's because fireball's secondary effect as a fire attack is bonus damage. Fissure's secondary effect is a chance to knockdown and/or stun. Fissure does have a quicker recharge than fireball, though, which partially makes up for the lower damage.

This is what it means to be a tank!
it actually more than partially makes up for it.
without regard to damage resistance, Fissure has better DPS than Fireball.

And you can put a Force Feedback proc in Fissure, which is awesome.

I just respec'd into Fissure and have some questions on usage. I'm a little confused on how the "AoE" portion of the power happens. Is it centered around the target? Is it centered around me? Is it a cone towards the target? I've read over the power description a couple times and all I see is "Close (Targeted AoE)".
Any help is much appreciated.
