Skill was introduced in the WWI 2008 gameplay demo, smashing enemies to bits. Cleave was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was balanced, 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 was probably taken from WarCraft 3, since the modifier that changes the damage of units to hit all enemies in front of them is called Cleave.
