What is a good aoe skill to use in gazluck keep that does decent damage besides fire magic, battle chemistry, or icemagic

AOE is generally pretty useless in GK in my experience. The mobs have too much health relative to your potential damage output, so single target nukes are your best bet. There are no AOEs that will do decent damage to mobs in this case.

If you're just looking for other skills that have AOEs with decent damage output, then Unarmed has a couple combos, Mentalism gets Panic Charge, and Archery has the Multishots.

I've heard that Sword can be made viable for AOE damage, but it isn't something that I've experimented with. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that.

Yeah, Barrage upgraded to an AoE is pretty gnarly damage reduction or threat increase.

So what skill would dish out the most damage on a single target besides archery cuz I hate doing archery

Archery is still king, but Mentalism/Psychology/Sword would be on my list. Pain Bubble + Agonize is brutal.

Wolf is also very strong single target DPS, but playing as an animal comes with its own challenges.

Theres a combo in calligraphy that allows your Finishing Blow to hit everything within 10 meters i believe? Properly specced thats a 3-3.5k aoe, but thats about it, next aoe they got is parry which is a 10 second 700 damage aoe with right mods, also you need to mod it into aoe.

Edit: Theres several combos that makes sword aoe, but hardest hitting one is with finishing blow as the last skill in the given combo.

I believe that combo is: Illness (L 57).

Thats just one yea, ofc if you can settle with shorter ranges, they are found all the way down to lvl 5(with lower range) which is rather easy to achieve as a newbie.

Wolf also has a aoe ( BITE ) mods can add the effect to gloves . which is pretty decent damage depending on your mods .

I do 1000+ damage with fire breath (fire tree) which hits all targets within 8 meters.
