Super new to this game, but I’m trying to build into a certain character. I’m trying to find out what two classes have the best potential AoE? And in the classes, what are the spells that have the AoE? I’ve wanted to go with a good AoE build, this one guy on youtube really had me sold on it, if you search grim dawn lvl 85 you should see a title called Templar knight elite. I don’t want to look up a build, but I’d like to get some sort of a direction to go on my own.:rolleyes:
Thanks a bunch guys!
There are lots of spells with good AoE.
For shaman you have Storm Totem and Wind Devil giving fantastic AoE.
For Arcanist you have PRM with some crazy widespread AoE, Devestation and Calldior’s for your Aether/fire, and Olexra’s which is the widest AoE in the game (if a bit less than lethal in ultimate).
Nightblade has some great spell AoE in Phantasmal Blades (cone) and Blade Spirit (roving death vortex).
Demolitionist has Canister Bomb - 2nd only to Olxera’s in how wide it hits, and Brimstone if you are into some ranged auto-attack AoE.
Occultist has a good AoE in the Vile Eruption component of Dreegs. Also technically Bloody Pox but that ability is still sub-par far as I know.
As for what class combo gives the best AoE clearing I’m partial to a “Windy Druid” using Storm Totem, Wind Devils, Olexra’s, Trozan’s Sky shard, and Grasping Vines for extra control with Star Pact to keep cool downs manageable… Pretty much everything except the Sky Shard hits in a LARGE area and it didn’t have any problems clearing ultimate in epic/faction gear.
What would you recommend combining with soldier? I’m trying to make something like a templar, but with good AoE, Sorta rping as i play x)
Perhaps primal strike from the shaman tree, smallish AoE centered around where you hit.
Or the wind devil or lightning totem from shaman.
Using the shaman also gives you access to wendigo totem for some good healing 
Or you could go Hell Templar, pick up demolitionist instead.
Through concussion grenades and grenados at everyone
Or you could go Aether Templar, pick up the arcanist.
Max out the tree and get devastation. I’m soooo loving that skill right now!! 
Think constant metoers from the sky for 3 ish seconds
This also gives you access to panic button mirror, elemental conversion on weapon, and elemental damage boosts.
Also has olexas flash freeze for some more cc.
Have fun
