Ground Slam aoe?

Neither on the skill nor the Internet can I get a clear answer to something I have been pondering:

The aoe spread out from groundslam: is it determined by the range of the weapon in any way? For example, I imagine a 2h staff has longer range than a 1h mace...will the aoe length be the same?

Also, has anyone tried increasing the aoe through support gem of passives? How was the turnout, significant?

Thanks!

Side thoight. -if I use increased melee physical dmg, will it increase the dmg of the aoe, or only the initial melee hit? Thanks again!

The aoe of ground slam doesn't depend on the weapon you use.
You can increase its aoe with the 'increased aoe' passives and the 'increased aoe' support gem.

I thought 2 hand weapons have a bigger range than 1 hand weapons, and thus this should effect ground slam aoe just like cleave aoe. example, 2 hand is 6 range and 1 hand is 5 range. Perhaps I can wrong?

I have a groundslammer and use Amplify and the 2 area of effect radius skill points around the templar start area. It's both noticeable and worth it. Increased area of effect gem would also increase the groundslam.

Not sure what you are talking about melee physical damage, but if you were to link ground slam with melee physical damage, it will increase your ground slam.

First off, 1h range is 4 and 2h range is 5.
This is the range you need to be to do a default attack with the weapon, or any skill that enhances the default attack (think Heavy Strike, Double Strike, Dual Strike, Glacial Hammer, Infernal Blow, Viper Strike, etc.).

Ground Slam, Leap Slam, Cleave, and Sweep work exactly as I described: they do not depend on the weapon for their base aoe.

Cyclone is an odd duck, since its aoe radius does depend on your weapon range to determine the base aoe.

Anyone know what the base GS range and angle are?

Cleave is 180° 20 range
Sweep is 360° 20 range

Edit: Range is 35. Anyone know angle? 90°?

I think someone from GGG said it's 90°, have no source though.

some cool info in this thread :)

I think nugiyen tested out cleave with mass aoe and got it to half a screen away, not sure if this has been tested with groundslam, but considering the distances they do and the result of cleave u can imagine what the outcome would be.

(i dont have a source i saw this a long time ago, i just remember it o.O)
