Hi guys, I’ve read the skill descriptions of all the classes and I just can’t decide what’s a good aoe build?
It would be nice if it had a nuke or 2 for bosses. I am torn between rifler and arcanist. How is the occultist end game with all the %life reduction dmg?
Thanks

cannister bomb is formidable agaisnt both trash and bosses. the playstyle is: run towards the objective while it’s on cooldown -> clear the screen every 10 seconds.
otherwise I had a lot of fun with dual wielding pistol firestrike.
I’m not sure how it will be on ultimate yet, but I’m having fun with my poison aoe conjurer (occultist/shaman). The build I’m going for is below:

The pets are there just to grab aggro and get the mobs grouped up, then you unleash poison bombs on them. Level 68 so far on Elite Act 3 and still having fun. He’s a bit squishy, but I love filling the screen with green explosions. Key Devotions are Eye of the Guardian and Akeron’s Scorpion asap. And then get Manticore, Abomination, and Affliction. Tainted Eruption from Abomination is awesome. Does good damage, has a massive aoe, and the confuse helps with survivability. Get this before Manticore or Affliction. Mark of Dreeg and Mutagenic Ichor or Vitriollic Gallstone on your weapons. I prefer the Poison Aura from the Gallstone over having Poison Bomb, but I did use Poison Bomb for a lot of levels before getting the Gallstone blueprint.
Things to watch out for are any ground targeted skills a boss may drop or reflective bosses. I die to DoT’s more than anything else. But I’m not very careful either. Hopefully once I reach 70 and can start using armor augments it’ll get better.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I have decided to go sorcerer with devastation and the mine from demo tree as main skills and the aether ray for nukes.
