Not that drastic. But it can't be outright effective with just a stomp, that would make it too OP.

Shouldn’t you be able to increase the range with a building stomp?

Depends on whether the average Hunter can even survive jumping from a building. Though of course, it depends on the building. A house, they easily can. Something the size of the Big Ben or Tokyo Tower? Not sure they can.

As for the other Semblances:

1-It's different. It's surrounding your Aura with the element, not just casting the element on yourself. Imagine Yang's Aura, if the flames were bigger, and actually burned things including herself. Casting fire on oneself would be more direct, more sacrificial, and as far as we know one can't surround their Aura on an element even if it's used to trigger it (basically, one can use a gun to fire bullets, but can't cover the gun in bullets and get some beneficial result).

Plus, covering oneself in stone/ice would turn them into a statue, which is not what the Semblance does in such cases.

2-Have we even seen such thing can be possible just with training? Stop thinking "X could be done with enough training", we don't have a single fucking implication it can. For all we know, the Aura Punch Ren did was his Semblance and not something done with training.
