What skills are the best for applying absurd amounts of status effects everywhere all at once?

[Mr.PotatoFudge]

I randomly took this weird doom laser skill that made me have this massive ring of beams around me 0 damage but they applied doom. I feel like there are skills that are just better for that though.

Any skills that come to mind? Maybe the spin to win one?

Polar Vortex inflicts status effects every frame. Light Beam and its Arcane counterpart do similarly, but in a much more focused area such that "everywhere all at once" will never apply. They all have one status effect innately but combine very nicely with the various upgrades that add stuff to all your attacks.

i like bladestorm for doing this once i've gotten lots of other perks to apply statuses, but i have no idea if it's actually one of the best for applying tons of statuses

Things like Bladestorm are very good.
You have a very fast hitting attack with high area.

Blizzard, Bunnies, Beams (with high area investment), Poison Cloud, Ray of Fire, Ray of Doom, Tornado, Death Vortex, Combustion, Unholy Aura, Beacon of Light and Napalm Blast

Some of those need heavy invest in area, but the amount of hits per second is insane.

Area is in general a good idea if you want to cover the screen.

Big circle auras are the best of the aura types, and there exists a shadow one. Bladestorm cranks out the most hits per time once it's permanent because it's 20 hits in 5 seconds (.25sec periodicity vs .5 for circle auras), but it provides no direct debuffs.

They all need massive area investment (which the beam variants don't), but they can do stupid damage once they're hitting things offscreen, as well as load enemies up on things like slow and fragility before your big hitters take effect. Oh, and make goblins a non-thing.

Chaos variant is king.
