How Does Warmaster Function With AoE Attacks?

When Warmaster is used with an AoE attack, does it proc for all targets if it does proc, or will it only proc for one target per turn?  Basically what I am asking is if a champion has all AoE attacks (ex. Bellower) and you are using them for FK, would you want warmaster on them or giant slayer?

Really?  27 views and nothing?  Surely someone with wm must've paid attention to the damage with AoE and seen if it can proc multiple times (or all at once), or if it can only proc one time per attack?

Wm can trigger on any enemy it hits. If your hero for example has 3 attacks random and it hits 3 different targets it can trigger on each.

Also if attack is AOE it can trigger on any enemy.

Got it?

Great, thanks for the information.  That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure since the tooltip says only once per attack.  Appreciate it. :)

The mastery description says "once per skill". So if your attack hits 3 random times at different targets it can trigger on any of the hits applied, but only once. That would mean if you AOE, it could apply to anyone hit by the AOE. But it will only proc ONCE, meaning only one enemy can take the warmaster damage.

So unless i'm mistaken, if you want the possibility of bonus damage to proc for all enemies in an AOE attack, you're better off with Giant Slayer. If you want a better chance to proc on only one enemy regardless of attack type, then go with Warmaster.
