I like the way some people are able to melt absolutely everything in a dungeon when I tank it. I don't play much DPS and would like to be that guy that drops a boss fight to just the boss in the blink of an eye.
Don't tell me to just play what I like because I just want to see stuff disappear.

    i like my templar aoe wise, you got barrage, the blazing spear, ritual of retribution and sweeps that heal you and i combine that with the wall, grothdar set and overhwelming surge set... so i can do a lot of aoe damage while at the same time healing me never run out of magicka...

    you can also use a shock stuff and heavy attack which does aoe damage and fills up magicka as well...

    Magic necro? Ricochet Skull, Stalking Blastbones, Boneyard, Skeletal Arcanist and Mystic Siphon, all of these do aoe so I doubt necro doesn’t come close.

    Magplar with jabs slotted is the aoe king. Wish they also have close to the top single target dps too.
    It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
    Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
    It lies behind stars and under hills,
    And empty holes it fills,
    It comes first and follows after,
    Ends life, kills laughter.

    Used to be mag sorc.

    Mag Templar has always been good at it too, they are just rising to the top this patch because of recent combat pendulum swings

    If necro skills actually worked as intended I’d say they were close. Most times you need a corpse and when you get a corpse the fight is over anyway or when you are about to use a corpse it disappears before the next fight starts.

    Someone who doesn’t understand that warden beetles are directional and come with a 3 second wait/warning will tell you wardens are great at AOE.

    Really though the best AOE skills were weapon skills for the longest time, not class skills. Recent nerf hammers to endless hail, caltrops, dot damage over/under tuning are the reason for all the incongruity.

    There is a reason why MA is dominated by sorcs :D
    You can aggro 15 enemies and deal with all (check destruction staff abilities)
    Add pets and your possibilities are even better

    Overwhelming is so good now.
    Never have I been happier with a set change. Especially on mag templar, I agree. Magicka return and jab healing. I love it!

    Magicka Necro is surprisingly weak in AOE. Of course it has Colossus, the absolute best AOE ultimate in the game. But it is more a support that provides vulnerability then anything else.
    Over all the skills behave too unreliable and Necromancer has a hard time to get a good power spike in in the few seconds where you really want the damage in AOE fights.

    I used to like my Stamsorc for AOE but the Caltrops nerf kinda ruined that
