AoE marker

Players marked with AoEs.

An AoE Marker, commonly referred to as a Spread Marker, is an Area of Effect that targets a player and tracks their movement, and will explode shortly afterwards, affecting anyone within the highlighted area. This marker is generally used in conjunction with other mechanics, such as requiring players to spread out in a limited safe zone. The player marked will take damage, but if they move away from the party, they can spare others additional damage.
