'''Area of Effect''', or '''''AoE''''', affect multiple targets within a pre-determined radius set by the game mechanics. These effects range from [[DoT]] spells to [[DD]] spells and cover all points in between. Traditionally (as far as [[MMORPG]]s go), the anchor target (location at which the caster is aiming the spell), and those closest to that target, are affected the most by the AoE effect, with diminishing returns as the spell radiates outward. In World of Warcraft, most area spells are GTAoE or PBAoE, and all targets in the area suffer the full effect.

==Mark of Cenarius as a quest objective==
Some AoE effects are cast or used without having to target someone or something; the caster is the anchor for the spell. The effect/damage radiates outward from the caster up to a given range, affecting all targets, or the first given number of targets the expanding 'ring' impacts. These types of spells are referred to as ''PBAoE'', which stands for ''Point Blank Area of Effect''.

==Patch changes==
Caster classes that are weak physically tend to have powerful PBAoE spells (if granted by their class). These sorts of spells require them to be right next to multiple hostile targets, so the spells are designed to be worth the danger.

*{{Patch 4.0.3a|note=Removed.}}
Melee- and tank-type classes are usually designed to take damage from multiple targets, and as such their PBAoE-type abilities tend to be very weak.

*{{Patch 1.9.0|note=Added.}}

The most popular version in WoW is the mage spell [[Arcane Explosion]]. A mage can run into the middle of a group of otherwise distracted mobs (perhaps by a [[tank]] holding their [[aggro]]) and start blasting away (or just start blasting without a tank, while a healer frantically keeps him alive). A few PBAoEs from a higher-level casters can normally take an entire crowd of enemies out. Very impressive to see. Some Examples: [[Arcane Explosion]], [[Psychic Scream]], [[Holy Nova]], [[Hellfire]].

==Ground Targeted Area of Effect==
 
<div style="margin-left:3%;">
 
With ''Ground Targeted Area of Effect'' (''GTAoE'') spells, the player places a circle on the ground that will be the area of the spell effect. He carefully places this around his targets and clicks to start casting/[[channeling]]. All enemies that are in that area &ndash; or ''remain'' in that area for [[channel|channeled]] or damage-over-time ([[DoT]]) GTAoEs &ndash; suffer the damage. Some examples: [[Blizzard]], [[Rain of Fire]], [[Hurricane]], [[Flamestrike]], [[Freeze]], [[Volley]].

'''Group heals''' are healing spells in which the caster can target multiple people in order to heal them. Some of these AoE spells simply extend outwards from the caster, while others, one must target an area which, when stepped into, will heal any party members that step into it.
