Reave

Reave is a melee attack that deals damage in a small area in front of you, temporarily increasing the area of effect each time you hit an enemy.

Skill Functions and Interactions

Dual Wielding: Using Reave while dual wielding will alternate the weapon used for attacking.

More area of effect: This is a local multiplicative bonus, it applies only to Reave and Vaal Reave. The maximum number of stacks that can be applied is 8, but any number of stacks can be maintained (as Vaal Reave can generate up to 16). At 8 stacks, Reave has a total of 160% more radius which ends up at 31 units. Area of effect spreads out in a 135 degree arc.

Stacks: If no enemy is hit with Reave or Vaal Reave for two seconds all stacks are lost, also if any other skill or a normal attack is used. Potions and interactive environment objects, like chests and doors are fine.

Duration: Currently there is no way to increase its duration.

No mana behavior: Reave is currently the only attack skill that does not revert to to normal attack on insufficient mana in order to prevent stack loss.

Version history

Version	Changes
1.2.0	The skill's base area has been increased by 17%. The area increase per stack has been reduced from 20% per stack to 15% per stack.
1.1.5	Fixed a bug where Reave dealt main-hand damage, even on off-hand hits.
1.1.3	Changed Reave stacks so they are shared between multiple versions of the skill, if a player uses multiple copies of the Reave gem.
0.11.6c	Changed Reave so you no longer lose stacks when moving to initiate a new skill. You only lose stacks when that skill starts to occur.
0.11.6	Reave is now not replaced with a Default attack when you are out of mana. This is to prevent losing Area of Effect stacks when using the skill.
0.11.5c	Fixed a bug where Reave would not hit all the targets within its range.
0.11.4b	Reave stacks no longer reset when interacting with game objects (for example, picking up items or opening doors).
0.11.4	Reave has been added to the game.
