AoE

= Overview = AoE is an abbreviation for "Area of Effect". An ability may have an effect which targets an area instead of a single target. The affected area is called the "Area of Effect". AoE's come in various types.

Targeted AoE
The targeted AoE is an AoE in which the caster can pin point where the area of effect will be. This form of AoE is commonly the meant AoE when people say AoE.

PB AoE
Player Based AoE (or Point Blank AoE) is an AoE targeted around the target (for example: the caster).
