Area of effect (often referred to as AoE) refers to a specified area in which multiple enemies can be affected by a skill. Skill gems with an area of effect have the AoE gem tag.

Mechanics

The simplest examples are skills like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Shock Nova". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ShrineShockNovaPlayer - Deals (1-56) to (15-1066) Lightning Damage, Base duration is 4.00 seconds (page)
NewShockNova - Deals (16-137) to (49-411) Lightning Damage, 15% chance to Shock enemies, Ring deals 50% less Damage (page), Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ice Nova". Please choose only one of the following ids:
BeyondDemonBlindNova - Blind enemies on hit, Base radius is 2.6 metres (page)
TormentDaemonBlindNova - Blind enemies on hit, Base radius is 2.6 metres (page) and Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Sweep". Please choose only one of the following ids:
ExileSweep - (50-100)% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit, (15-40)% increased Attack Speed, (12-24)% increased Physical Damage (page)
WbLightningEliteSweep - 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Lightning Damage, 100% chance to Knock Enemies Back on hit, 40% increased Attack Speed, 24% increased Physical Damage (page), which have circular areas of effect. Skills like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Cleave". Please choose only one of the following ids:
BreachBossCleavePhysical - N/A (page)
ArakaaliCleave - N/A (page) and Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ground Slam". Please choose only one of the following ids:
AxisBossGroundSlam - N/A (page)
DropBearSummonedGroundSlam - N/A (page) have cone-shaped effects - effectively cut out of circles. Some skills have irregular shapes, for example Flame Surge or Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Glacial Cascade". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterGlacialCascadeTotemBossStrMission - Deals (1-16) to (1-24) Physical Damage, Deals (2-29) to (2-44) Cold Damage, (0-40)% increased Cast Speed, Causes +(6-11) Bursts (page)
MineBatAbyssVomitCascade - Deals (1-53) to (2-82) Physical Damage, Deals (3-98) to (4-150) Cold Damage, Causes +5 Bursts (page).

Skills that damage multiple enemies per cast do not necessarily have an area of effect. Piercing projectiles like Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Ice Spear". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MountainGoatmanIceSpear - Deals (134-595) to (201-893) Cold Damage (page)
IceSpearRoyale - Deals (14-124) to (21-186) Cold Damage, Fires +2 Projectiles, Second form has 400% increased Critical Strike Chance, Second form has +(30-39)% to Critical Strike Multiplier, Second form has 150% more Projectile Speed (page) do not have the AoE tag, nor do chaining skills.

The size of the area is called the radius, and can be increased or reduced with passive skills, support gems and items. When modifying the radius, all radius values in the skill will be affected, even if the skill does not do damage. The passive skills that are more specific (e.g. increasing the radius of auras) will only apply to that specific group.

When an item or skill increases the area damage, it will only be applicable to skills that deal damage on that area of effect. For example, with Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Fireball". Please choose only one of the following ids:
MonsterFireball - Deals (10-1810) to (15-2808) Fire Damage, Base radius is 0.9 metres (page)
MonsterFireballContactPos - Deals (10-1810) to (15-2808) Fire Damage, Base radius is 0.9 metres (page), that damage bonus will go into effect only when the projectile explodes on last target struck and won't kick if the projectile pierced, chained or forked.

Area of effect does not affect the trigger radius of Traps and Mines, but it can apply to effects cast by the trap or mine. Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Fire Trap". Please choose only one of the following ids:
BarrelExplosionAtlas - Deals (0-100)% more Damage, Deals (776-1752) to (1164-2628) Fire Damage, 100% more Cast Speed (page)
MonsterGroundFireSelfDaemon - Deals (2-105.4) Base Fire Damage per second, Base duration is 5.00 seconds (page), for example, has an area of effect, and is affected by it. Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Bear Trap". Please choose only one of the following ids:
IzaroDaemonBearTrap - Deals (12-1017) to (18-1423) Physical Damage, Trap lasts +30 seconds, Throw up to (2-4) additional Traps (page)
BearTrap - Deals (16-1447) to (22-2026) Physical Damage, Traps do not Trigger at the end of their Duration, Trap lasts 4 seconds, Base duration is 3.00 seconds, Locks enemy in place, Enemies take 25% increased Damage from Trap or Mine Hits, Enemies have 80% less Movement Speed when the Debuff starts (page) does not, and is not. If supporting a spell with the Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Trap" support gem, then it will be affected if it's a spell that has an area of effect.

Same goes for totems. If the effect the totem uses has an area of effect, it will get the bonus from the modifiers.
