Sweep

"Sometimes a good blade just isn't enough. With a mighty swing, a player wielding a staff, two-handed axe, two-handed sword, or mace smashes the skulls of many enemies surrounding them. The furious blow breaks armor and bone alike, even knocking foes back a substantial distance."

— Description on the official Path of Exile website

Sweep deals damage to enemies in a full 360-degree circle around the player, and knocks some of them back. Requires a two-handed melee weapon.

Version history

Version	Changes
2.1.0	Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards. Sweep's radius has been reduced by 8%.
2.0.0	Area of effect increased by 30% (from 20 to 26), and no longer knocks enemies back beyond the max radius. Sweep is now affected by weapon speed, but has a Less Attack Speed modifier. Now grants 0.5% increased area of effect radius per 1% of quality instead of increased attack speed. Base Damage has been increased from 85% to 100%. Now works with all two-handed melee weapons.
1.2.0	Damage effectiveness increased from 75% to 85%.
0.9.12qq	Damage modifiers are now factored into Damage Effectiveness rather than being listed as separate stats.
0.9.12f	Fixed a newly introduced bug where Sweep would always get critical strikes.
0.9.10	Removed knockback distance increase. Changed quality bonus to attack speed.
0.9.9	Reduced mana cost.
0.9.7	Normalised the balance so that there isn't such a large disparity. Sweep now hits in a full circle again (rather than a 300 degree arc).
0.9.2	Increased the damage of Sweep. Changed Sweep's quality bonus from knockback distance to increased attack speed. Sweep is now affected by increased area of effect stats.
0.9.1	Reduced damage of Sweep at lower levels.
