hi all,
im wondering which class has the best aoe with the new patches. Is Doppelsoeldner with dex still good or is str now more decent?
Saw that question a few times here but i think they are outdated.
And if possible good someone give a small tier list of the aoe damage dealers (from best to decent) and why this class is good/better than other aoe classes.
ty in advance ^.^
Off the top of my head:
Wizard
Elementalist: Frost Cloud is one of the best AoE’s the Wizard tree has.
Sorcerer: Ride bosses that can have a lot of AoE attacks.
Kino: Low damage, but the AoE is decent. Doesn’t do well with ranged monsters.
Cryo: It’s more setting up for AoE attacks than the AoE damager.
Warlock: I’m not sure, I never really played one, but people usually use this with Elementalists.
Cleric
Plague Doctor: Best Cleric AoE. You can pretty much spread poison to an entire room of enemies.
Inquisitor: Breaking Wheel spreads your physical attacks. It has less AoE than Plague Doctor due to longer CD, but still really solid and has really good damage depending on what you hit the Wheel with.
Bokor: Exploding zombies.
Miko: Hamaya creates a magic circle that can hit 10 targets at a time.
Sadu: Possession seems ok. Hits 14 targets maxed and immobilizes them.
Archer
Sapper: Broom Trap places a cycling trap that has good AoE
Falconer: AoE support. This class pretty much makes almost any class into an AoE class.
Swordsman
Doppelsoeldner: I have no idea, but I know it’s a popular AoE DPS choice for Earth Tower.
Not really experienced in Archers or Swordsmans, sorry.
The best possible damage stems from Bokors Damballa. Though the AoE is not soo big, the possible damageoutput is really large, as every level of Damballa adds 3 more zombie explosions on top of some nice damage.
Level 7, the current maximum level, has a maximum damage output of up to 20400% damage [without attribute or Hexing bonus; depends on how many zombies are reincarnated after being exploded,though, a rough average estimate would be around 10000-15000%] within 6-7 seconds with 10 seconds CD while level 10 Black Death Steam at Rank 9 will only hit 17000% with maxed attribute (11340% without attribute) over 30 seconds with 50 seconds CD (15 seconds of first overheat+35 seconds CD time once the 2nd overheat charge is used).
Bokors Effigy also has a really good AoE damage if you manage to spread Hexings curse debuff with e.g. Pandemic, especially since Hexings attribute increases the damage of Damballa and Effigy by up to 30%(currently not working because of a bug q.q).
I doubt that any other Class can beat the AoE damage capabilities of Bokor when used correctly.
just completing a little the post of @Kanna, i agree with her/him, this post is not meant to be exhaustive
Wizard
Elementalist has meteor, hail, electrocute too. these 3 skills are better with Wizard3 (that also has magic missile, another good skill)
Warlock: Pole of agony is good, but invocation and mastema: phantom pain are incredibly powerful.
Archer
Falconer (especially at 3rd circle): Circling, Aiming and Pheasant
Schwarzer Reiter: Limacon with “spread” attribute is sweet
Swordsman
Doppel: i only tried “Punish: Earthquake” on the reset event, i loved it
mergen+falcon’s circling
