Poisioning AOE

Sorry, I have a dog with low starting stats so i added poisoning instead of other magical abilities. Which now i have to decide if i should go regular AI or one of the poisoning AOE. Anyone has experience with Aura of Nausea or Poison Breath or Essence of Disease?

This dog will be a general purpose fun dog so any advise is welcome.

Much appreciated.

Important things to remember when picking moves, and this is counter-intuitive, more moves generally means lower DPS. Not all moves are created equal and if you have a bunch, your pet will use all of them, good and bad.
You should be able to add both AI and an AoE move. Whether you should is another question. AI is one of the good single target moves. AoE will attack everyone around, spend mana, and aggro everything around. Your pet will use AoE even when it's fighting a single target. It will especially be using an AoE even when you are fighting a single target and there is a bunch more targets around - because, hey, why not aggro everyone at the same time?
So, it all depends on how your general use looks. If you plan on killing a lot of spawn - by all means get an AoE. If you mostly kill one thing at a time, you'll fight faster and safer without an AoE.

They all will do what they say when the publish goes live. Make Six different and see how they compare.

Would be nice if you could get AI and Nausea.
