Rank the top AoE skills

I'm looking for a ranking of the top AoE skills. Not the best builds, or the most survivable, or the best boss killer. What are the best skills or builds for mowing down huge numbers of mobs as quickly as possible?

Something like:

1. Freezing Pulse (LMP/GMP, Faster Casting, Faster Projectiles)
2. Lightning Arrow (LMP/Chain, Faster Attacks, Weapon Elemental Damage)
etc.

Spark + Fork + LMP/GMP + Chain = insanity

Just so happens mowing down huge numbers of mobs as quickly as possible is my favorite pastime. :D

Low to midlevel I doubt there is anything as brutally efficient as Poison Arrow in a Silverbranch. Not very satisfying though.

Higher level I'd say FP or EK with appropriate supports. Lightning Arrow isn't bad either. I also wouldn't discount Explosive Arrow for this purpose, it was and is even after nerfs one of the most fun builds I've played.

Well then he'd be right, 0 dmg would be insanity :)

Fire Trap + Conc Effect + Fire Pen

Is a discharger possible anymore? If so, then all other AoE should bow out of this competition.
