| − | '''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'''. Many attacks in [[Diablo III]] will have the potential to affect more than one target. Some skills will need to be upgraded with points in a mastery skill (The [[Wizard]]'s [[Storm Skill Tree#Tornado|Tornado]] originally produces one tornado, but adding skill points to [[Storm Skill Tree#Epic Storms|Epic Storms]] increases the amount of tornados allowed at once) or used in conjunction with [[Rune|Skill Runes]] (The [[Witch Doctor]]'s [[Spirit Skill Tree#Skull of Flame|Skull of Flame]] used with a multi-strike rune allows the skull to ''skip'' along the ground and explode multiple times) to affect muliple targets.

| − | The area that is affected can vary greatly, from a few [[monster]]s up close from a [[Barbarian]] attacking with [[Juggernaut Skill Tree#Cleave|Cleave]], or a dozen monsters being crushed under a [[destructible]] wall.

| − | The actual area of an AoE skill can be of any shape or size. Some examples are: circular AoE eminating from the player ([[Wizard]]'s [[Storm Skill Tree#Frost Nova|Frost Nova]]), a specific area the player chooses ([[Wizard]]'s [[Conjuring Skill Tree#Meteor Storm|Meteor Storm]]), Line Damage ([[Wizard]]'s [[Arcane Skill Tree#Disintegrate|Disintegrate]]), or jumping from one target to another ([[Wizard]]'s [[Storm Skill Tree#Electrocute|Electrocute]]).
