Cleave
Cleave
![Icon Feat Cleave.png](/images/Icon_Feat_Cleave.png)
- Cooldown: 5 seconds
- Usage: Active
- Prerequisite: Power Attack
Description
Activate this feat to attack one or more enemies in an arc in front of you. This attack deals +20% damage.
Cleave counts a full attack, dealing full special effect damage to all targets hit. This attack can doublestrike and is affected by your Attack Speed.
Prior to Update 45, it would also produce a glancing blow to each target (if using an appropriate weapon that allows them). Glancing blows have now been replaced by Strikethrough, which does not benefit Cleave or Great Cleave.
Notes
- Great Cleave does not replace Cleave. Both abilities are on separate timers, allowing both to be used and chained together in a fight.
- Paladins can take a Tier 2 Knight of the Chalice enhancement, Exalted Cleave. This does share a cooldown with Cleave.
- Sacred Fists can take a Tier 2 Sacred Fist enhancement, Exalted Whirlwind. This does share a cooldown with Cleave.
- Barbarians can take a Tier 3 Frenzied Berserker enhancement, Supreme Cleave. This has its own cooldown, allowing it to be chained with either/both other Cleaves.
- Warlocks can take a Tier 3 Enlightened Spirit enhancement, Eldritch Burst. This does share a cooldown with Cleave.
- Fighters may select this feat as one of their fighter bonus feats.
