As we all know too well, DS PLing a class without some sort of PBAE can be annoying. The throw stone method works alright, but you either have to shroud (annoying) or be PLing a class with throw stone, plus the ability has an annoyingly long delay. The secret to avoiding all of this is The Golden Pick. It's ALL/ALL, you get it halfway through a newbie quest chain in Blightfire Moors, and it procs an unresistable 1 damage that triggers almost every swing.
To get the pick, do the quests The Golden Pick I and then The Golden Pick II, which start at Ordunn the Miner in the newbie Blightfire Moors camp, and requires a bit of running around (into Crescent Reach) and mild newbie mob killing. After completing the second quest, hail Ordunn again for the third quest and receive your shiny The Golden Pick. Promptly forget everything about Ordunn because he's stupid and wants you to do something stupid. You have what you are after.
Now, it's difficult to manually hit all the mobs, but I unabashedly took this macro and modified it so that it would autoattack mobs and track them (assuming golden pick output) instead of using a spell/ability:
Run that on your little guy and watch the exp fly!
