Staff Fighting and MIDS

I know that the good folks who work on MIDs are doing their thing, so as a substitute until it is ready I am using claws to represent staff fighting in my version to get an idea of my build.

"Eviscerate" is listed as a cone, interestingly enough however it takes PBAOE sets. So, do the two cones in Staff fighting both take cone sets, or does one of them take PBAOE?

The rest of the set lines up nicely enough. It has 2 ST attacks (actually more, but Staff only has 2), one ranged attack, the PBAOE, 2 cones, and I can pretend "Taunt" is the forms power.

Anyone know for sure how it is handled in the game itself?

Melee cones take PBAoE sets*.
Ranged cones take Targeted AoE sets.
There is no such thing as a "cone set"**.

*Some narrow melee cones (like Stalker Head Splitter) have used Melee sets, but I think this is an error, and all occurences I can think of have been fixed.

**Befofe IOs were added, there used to be a "Cone Range" SO, but that was folded into the standard Range SO ages ago. Since then, there haven't been any cone-specific enhancements.

Hmm,good to know. I guess I was mostly confused by one of the claw cones taking the Positron set and the other taking Obliteration. Something seemed odd there, but I wasn't sure which was considered 'right' or the 'norm'.

Thanks for the information.

The good news is that Mids has an update, and includes Staff Fighting. The bad news is, it's buggy, due to the WIP change to the Incarnate Powers (I think that's to blame). The good news is, there's a patch for the update. The bad news is, it's still buggy.
