Exenikus's Notes

Hello everyone,

With the possible upcoming nerf to aurabots, I was trying to theorycraft a new way to be a combo utility support/buff support. The TLDR is using the Empire's Grasp Gloves, a giant AOE Sweep, and then having 2 blasphemy curses to debilitate the mobs.

The issue I quickly ran into was the aoe square root modifier make getting huge AOE quite difficult. If I were to try and hit an AOE of 100, I need to get a modifier of about 3x the base of 30.

Due to the square root, it ends up meaning I need ~1100% increased AOE.

100/30 -> 3.333

3.333^2= 11.111

POB from POB.party found here: https://pastebin.com/1yemumWH I haven't even gotten to the point of finishing off my gear or theory crafting a leveling build, because 1,100% increased AOE seems kind of ridiculous to achieve. Since I want to exceed that long term, are there any gem changes I should be looking to do? Or any More multipliers to AOE other than Sand Stance? I haven't even started trying to fit in Blasphemy Aura's yet.

The alternative that I considered was Using the Kineticism notable and lots of AOE on a rain of arrows, but I lose the inherent knockback on sweep. Looking for any theorycrafting advice!

Edit: I was really looking for information on whether or not there are other More modifiers to aoe, less telling me the strategy is useless.
