'''Area of Effect''' is a general term for effects, skills, spells or abilities that will affect an area, and the inhabitants of that area, rather than a single target. Also known as '''Splash Damage''' or '''Line Damage'''. Most attacks in [[Diablo III]] will affect more than one target, or at least multiple targets with the use of [[Rune|Skill Runes]].

The area that is affected can vary greatly, from a few [[monster]]s close to a [[Barbarian]]'s skill: [[Cleave]], or a dozen monsters being crushed under a [[destructible]] wall.

The effects can also vary, as an AoE damage does not necessarily need to cause damage. It can be an AoE [[buff]] or [[debuff]] cast on friends or foes.
 
 
 
 
 
==AoE Shapes==
 
AoE effects can be of any shape or size, depending on the source. Many effects have circular AoE, but this is not a given rule. Some are also "Line Damage", and do damage in a square/elliptic shape with a width. It can be a crescent shape, and even square in some cases.
