Vaal Cleave is a Vaalmeleeattack that 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. Requires an axe, sword, two-handed axe, or two-handed sword.
If the player's weapons have different critical strike chance values, it is possible for one weapon to get a critical strike when the other doesn't. It is also possible to miss with only one of the weapons swung. The decrease in damage while dual wielding is multiplicative and applies to all damage bonuses.
Two hits are calculated separately (one from each weapon) and then combined into one unique hit/stack (damaging ailments).
This skill has a culling strike effect. Killing a Rare or Unique Enemy with a hit will grant a buff that causes regular Cleave to have 60% more AOE, deal 60% more Cleave Damage to enemies on Low Life, and grants Culling Strike with Cleave.
Killing a Rare Enemy will also steal its monster modifiers for a duration (similar to HeadhunterHeadhunter Leather BeltRequires Level 40+(25-40) to maximum Life+(40-55) to Strength +(40-55) to Dexterity +(50-60) to maximum Life (20-30)% increased Damage with Hits against Rare monsters When you Kill a Rare monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds"A man's soul rules from a cavern of bone, learns and judges through flesh-born windows. The heart is meat. The head is where the Man is." - Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom). Both the Cleave buff and the monster modifiers can be scaled with modifiers to duration, at the cost of increasing Soul Gain Prevention.
