Cleave
,no edit summary
==Development==
Skill was introduced in the [[WWI 2008]] gameplay demo, smashing enemies to bits.''Cleave'' The skill was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, been slightly re-balanced between the [[BlizzCon 2008]] and was balanced[[BlizzCon 2009|2009]] demos, judging from the latest demo. The old Cleave would hit for 130% weapon damage on 2 enemies at rank 1, with weapon damage and maximum number of targets scaling per rank. Cleave has also changed appearance slightly between the WWI gameplay video and the latest demo. Strangely enough, the animation has been made less overwhelming, only cleaving in one direction, when the older one swung in both directions.
Cleave was probably inspired by WarCraft 3, since the modifier that changes to "hit all enemies in front" is called Cleave.
