Is there anything beetter than ground slam?

So,

Im almost sick of having one skill with aoe - ground slam.

Id like to have 360chilling orb or something but i havent found anything like that.

And i dont like using ground slam always except for bosses - heavy strike.!

Isnt the game suppose to give you more than 1main skill to use?

p.s. lightning strike is not aoe. its hard to use it and its not that good as ground slam.

Lightniing strike rocks. Just get lesser or greater multi projectiles on that baby with weapon elemental dmg, if you have 4or more linked sockets, added fire dmg, life on hit, knockback. Its my bread and butter.

There is other options, you just have to choose to use them I guess. I use Fire Trap and Sweep along with Ground Slam so I don't have to Ground Slam all the time. I haven't taken any added fire damage or elemental damage and my fire trap still does a good amount of damage and is a great way to take a little Life off the mobs before doing sweep or ground slam.

As someone already mentioned, Lightning Strike can be just a awesome or better depending on your build.

I can't understand the love for Ground Slam. my Leap Slam has the same or higher dps (albiet a slower attack speed), but since I kill every non-unique in 1 shot, i don't see the point.

I'm using a 2h mace (.9 speed), but the damage is much higher, Per Hit on Leap Slam.

What am I missing?

Unless the wiki is mistaken, they do the same exact same damage per level. Outside of that, what you're missing is the attack speed, you can get 2-3 ground slams out (maybe more, I'm just guessing) in the time it takes to leap. Unless you're using Leap for movement, Ground Slam is simply better.

I started using leap for movement, absolutely love it now, it needs faster attacks and some other good supports, but I curse an area maybe put up a totem, leap in and cleave away. Only problem I have with cleave is it doesn't have the range of ground slam. so requires more intermediary movement to get the job done.

Pardon my noobiness, but may I ask what's the advantage of ground slam over heavy strike?

Ground Slam is a fast frontal cone ranged AoE. It nukes, it stuns, it kites, it leeches a ton of life.

Heavy strike is a single-target melee attack that swings slower but does more DPS.

I use Sweep with a lot of Armor and a 2 Hand-Axe.
Currently in Merciless Act 1.
Still works pretty fine, but needs a lot of attention and punishes even small errors hard because of the short encounters.

Sweep could be a really cool Skill, but they have to improve the Animation and make it a little bit faster.
Make it like a roundhouse attack, that would be pretty awesome.
