Can we have more ranged casts boons please
Currently we have 3 cast boons that make the cast a ranged attack (Zeus (Aimed AoE dmg that drops where you aim), Hestia (directional fireball that explodes on contact), Hades (tracking projectile that sticks the cast on the target if hit)), and then Demeter has the self sticky Omega cast boon (as well as gale force which is really good for triggering origination)
.
since these are 4 of the 6 older gods so far, I want Hera and Poseidon to have fun Cast augments. I don't know maybe Poseidon can summon a wave that knocks back and tramples till it hits geometry or goes a certain distance., and Hera could spawn one on top of any hitched enemy have have it stick to them or creates a perpendicular (or have lightning spawn in all lines to all other hitched targets) lightning bolt to spawn (like her trial of the gods punishment).

Apollo has supernova as well, which is also fun, but doesn't need to be elaborated on

I came to think this, after experimenting with Poseidon cast with glowing embers (hestia ranged cast), during a double moonshot build, it was fun to spam Omega cast, triggering steam by itself. let more gods into the fun with targeted or ranged casts.

I thought about mentioning this too but it seems other people are managing to do well without ranged cast. Me personally I'm always picking zeus and rarely want to try others for duo because I just can't seem to feel like my damage is consistent and controllable enough without the ranged cast

As good as Zeus' ranged cast is- I don't like Hestia's or Hades' as much at all. I much prefer to have control over where I drop the cast, not have it bump into an enemy or obstacle and spawn there. At least when it isn't ranged I have perfect control over where it goes and I kindof enjoy the puzzle of dashing into position where it can do the most damage and dashing back away to safety.

The thing is that ranged casts are great against bosses and even more so against Chronos, since he isn't affected by the slow down while casting.

So casting from a distance kinda makes up for that.

But for crowd control on regular fights, I agree with you about having more control on where the circle will be.
