Effectively both. As you extend the length of the cone you also expand the area covered by the cone, the degree of the cone stays the same.
Just the lenth of the cone.
But by being longer, the wide end of the cone is indeed larger, and you are more likely to hit foes on the outer edges of the cones range, thus making the cone more likely to hit max # of mobs.
You just have to target the back of a spawn, and start your attack a little further back to take advantage of the longer cone.
I find range to be very nice in short 40 ft cones, good in the 60 ft and 80 ft cones, and not needed in the 100 ft cones (fearsome stare and the psy blast cone come to mind as cones that are already really long cones) If the cone is already 80-100 ft long, you run into sometimes hitting a spawn behind your target spawn and drawing two full groups if you arent careful.
Hope that helps.
sweet thanks!

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread on it.
If you slot a cone ability (i.e. fire breath) with a range increase enhancement does it increase the width of the cone or just the length?
