Good Skill that scales damage with high AOE

Hi there

My plan is to build a Pilar Of The Cadge God High Inteligence,to get alot of AOE,and my question is, what skill is the best to use and what skill scales best with great AOE

Thanks

Ice Nova is pretty awesome with a ton of AoE.
Shockwave Totem is way up there as well.

Endurance Discharge with Eleprolif might actually be viable if you get >100% incr. aoe and the burn prolif radius is meaningful.

Lightning warp multitrap might be okay, the bigger the overlap the higher your actual damage. (dont forget sunblast for instantly triggered traps)

I was thinking blade fall because the skill has awesome damage scaling.

The gem has high dex reqs though so not sure if counter intuitive.

Might be able to go crit staffer, bladefall, and then use a couple of to convert back to int where you need too.

Another could be fire storm...just to see if you could cover the whole screen with fire rain!

Oh yeah, Lightning Warp (traps/mines/totems) are extremely good with AoE.

LW hits twice if an enemy is in the intersection of the two AoEs (when it flies up and when it lands down), so AoE turns into single target killing efficiency very quickly.

Not the strongest thing, but definitely a fun option.

if you want huge aoe using pillar with 200 int is only 10% increase and 20 at 400 int

id sugest dual wielding http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lavianga%27s_Wisdom
they give inc area area damage and a bit of life to
or the more expensieve http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Divinarius

as for skils ice nova, storm call , rf, fire storm , magma orb ,ball lightning (area damage does not work for bl)blade fall , blade vortex , contagion+ed , fire trap those could all work

My goal is to reach at least 1000 int,is not that hard

Yes, but doing so is going to make it a pain to get damage and actions per second.

With Whispering Ice it's all well and good to go mass int, you get plenty of damage out of it, both through icestorm's base and the global spell damage per int. Without that... well, good luck covering your offense when you're using a no-stat 2hander and pumping all your gear and passives into bolstering your Int for ~50% increased AoE. Better off going double Divs and settling for just slightly less AoE.
