I agree. I stopped playing my BR because the rate of spread is too much of a "C-tease" for me. Not very satisfying when it just refuses to happen and the team kills everything before I can get off that nice aoe.
I've got a related question. The way I interpret the power... I use Disintegrate, then one of my single target attacks to get the spread, keep following up with ST attacks until it spreads and then use AoE's.
My question is, will my teammates ST attacks trigger the spread? What if they are Beam as well?

I believe they said any teammates using beam will also spread disintigrate. (Non beam won't.)

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

I solo a good majority of my playtime, so for a team of 1 the spread hardly happens for me. To compensate for this though i stuck the -res proc in cutting beam and acid mortar, so if one target is melting, i use the cone if I'm lucky it procs on the non disintegrating enemies still a win for me since i will still kill them fairly fast. Also does anyone know how close the mobs have to be? or what the radius for spread is? not listed anywhere that i have looked.

Ooh; what if you Disintegrate someone who already has it, and it automatically causes a spread? As it stands, it has no chance to cause it, so....
"Why do these Lost keep trying to hold me? Don't they know I don't swing that way?"
That's a good point. Disintegrate IS a single target attack, it should qualify for causing spread.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
I think that the little boosts in the rate from the original values were most definitely needed, but I feel something is still missing. To complement BR's focus on single targets, I believe that Disintegration should at minimum have a chance, though preferably a 100% chance, of spreading when the disintegrating target is defeated. That would allow the beamer to disintegrate a target and get a spread off of them, even if it necessitates going all the way to killing it because they aren't getting any lucky rolls on their ST attacks.
