[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9131385, member: 18"] Do you not have Gale, Wyll, or either Druid? Did you kill all four of them? All of them work well enough for the relatively few situations where you genuinely need or hugely benefit from an AOE caster. Shadowheart with Spirit Guardians (as well as other spells) is actually more powerful in some mass-target situations than they are. Personally I went through the game with my team as Bard, Karlach (Barb/Monk), Lae'zel (EK Fighter), Gale (Div Wizard) and the only AOE spells I cast significantly were either AOE CCs on the Bard (many of which can be cast by other classes, particularly Clerics) and Ice Storm from Gale. Otherwise the multiple attacks from the melees absolutely trashed people, especially doing like, "efficiency moves" like picking up one enemy and throwing him at another enemy with Karlach. Oh and a fair bit of Cloud of Daggers if you consider that AoE, as you can make it do ludicrous damage by knocking enemies back into it and so on. I wish I'd made more use of Spike Growth, though, that's an amazing spell. [/QUOTE]
