How many foes can you hit in melee at the same time

guild-wars-2

When I swing my hammer while being surrounded by foes, I think I might be hitting more than 5 at a time, which is meant to be the global area damage cap, but the numbers go away too fast for me to count them.

I know most skills are meant to be capped at 5 targets, but does the same apply do melee?

In this recent statement by a programmer, all player skills are capped at 5 targets.

As we’ve previously said, the AOE target limit on player skills is currently set to 5. That means that any given player skill will hit at most 5 players regardless of how many players are in the area of the skill.
