Cleave

Wielders of the axe and sword often find themselves beset by multiple foes. Expecting this, a trained armsman will employ the deadly Cleave. With a single practiced stroke, a Cleave sweeps sideways to inflict grievous harm to anyone standing nearby, lopping off heads and limbs with ease. As a player gains skill with Cleave, they strike harder, and hit more enemies with each swing of their blade.

Deals damage with all equipped weapons to enemies in a 180 degree arc in front of the player. When dual wielding, equipment requirement applies to both weapons, and each weapon does reduced damage. As the skill levels up, damage increases. Requires an axe, sword, two-handed axe, or two-handed sword.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Accuracy: This skill is affected by accuracy, and therefore can miss.

Attack Speed: This is currently determined by the attack speed of the main hand weapon only.

Area of Effect: Increases to AoE will increase the radius of the affected area, but the current animation for Cleave doesn't accurately reflect this increase.

Dual Wielding: If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance values or accuracy values, it is possible to critical or miss with one weapon, but not the other. The decrease to dual wielding damage is additive (not multiplicative) and only applies to physical damage and everything converted from physical damage. The character tab DPS display is inaccurate for this skill because it doesn't currently account properly for dual wielding attacks.
