Talk:Cleave

Seems outclassed by Quivering Blade now :( --GTPoompt 09:39, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * the stronger quivering blade is to make up for the weaker critical range of the sword. being a dazed W/Mo is no fun either.--Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 10:07, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah but being a dazed W/N Is RLY fun (Not a fifty five 22:07, 19 September 2006 (CDT))

This is seeing more use now that Eviscerate is nerfed 66.177.90.98 14:36, 5 January 2007 (CST)
 * Where? Some people used it in the winter tournament only because eviscerate couldn't be used.  --Fyren 01:04, 6 January 2007 (CST)

Whirling Axe > Cleave --Arkhar 16:43, 22 January 2007 (MST)

Corsair Guild Lord??
If the Corsair Guild Lord is a boss and has cleave as an elite shouldn't corsair guild lord be on the list.Correct me if I'm wrong O.o.His elite can be captured(I think) because I saw him as a boss in the bestiary. Soles21:34, 20 March 2007(EST)


 * They're not real 'bosses'. You can't actually capture the skill from them. --Tometheus 16:32, 24 March 2007 (CDT)


 * Ok thanks for the heads up.--Soles 17:47, 25 March 2007 (EST)

Cleave vs Eviscerate
Do we still need the "dated" comparison? The Hobo 15:02, 30 July 2007 (CDT)

Uh, lame?
Did this skill fall victim to power creeping? Seems so way outclassed by furious Axe now. -- Taki Fujiko  12:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If someone would play A/W with Way of the Master or something... nah, I have never used this skill tbh. <.< J Striker 12:52, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

 * +40@12 would outclass a LOT of attack skills. Like, near every >.> --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]]-- (s)talkpage 10:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * An increase in damage would be nice, but I don't see how it's been outclassed by even Furious Axe. If you want pressure damage, this is your axe skill of choice. It's better than Furious Axe due to having an adrenaline cost. Moreover, +40@12 is ridiculously strong. You're looking at +48@15 (+47.5 actually, but it probably rounds up, and for reference, Decapitate is +50). Now, if that was 40@15, it'd be more reasonable. --Kale Ironfist 11:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Cleave isn't that bad imo. Combine with FGJ and spam spam spam. --[[Image:Progr.png]] -- talkpage 12:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Scale it with Executioner's Strike. Half cost, same damage. That's an elite for you. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 12:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ran Master of Damage tests, the dps of spamming just Cleave is actually quite comparable to the dps of spamming just Furious Axe. If you spam Furious Axe as soon as it recharges, which was required to match the dps of spamming Cleave as soon as it built the adrenaline, you will run out of energy, albeit slowly.  Combining Cleave with adrenaline boosting skills however, easily boosts Cleave far above the dps of Furious Axe; in general, it is easier to boost adrenaline gain to spam Cleave than to cut the recharge/cost needed to spam Furious Axe.  It could use a buff in the +dmg but it isn't lame simply because of adrenaline imo.  GW-Anon 18:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * So what, a poor elite outclasses a poor skill? Hardly breaking news. Lord of all tyria 18:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well yes, the point of cleave is that you can get the damage, and still have your energy to use on other skills. The value at 15 in an attribute must always be an integer, before rounding, just like the value at 0.  The values at other attribute levels are computed by fitting a line to these two points, and then rounding to the nearest integer.  Because 15 is odd (that's why they use it), the value before rounding can never be something and a half, so there always is a nearest integer to round to.  Quizzical 18:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The numbers were tested with 12 Axe Mastery, 8 Strength; unmodded customized axe; managed about 22-25 dps with both Cleave and Furious Axe, over a duration of 180 seconds. Using Flail, FGJ, and Enraging Charge, managed about 40-45 dps with Cleave spam and 30-35 dps with Furious Axe spam under the same conditions as above.  "So what, a poor elite outclasses a poor skill? Hardly breaking news."  Try to refrain from belittling the contributions of other users and AGF. GW-Anon 18:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * AGF isn't something you can hide behind when all you're doing is stating the obvious. Lord of all tyria 12:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you don't think it's relevant, look up, particularly at the lame tag. Furious Axe is not a valid reason; that's my point.  And little maturity goes a long way. GW-Anon 20:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Added another reason above, this elite isn't worth it --62.158.126.15 01:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah... Symbolic Strike matches this skill with just skills you'd normally take along with you (healsig and rez sig) and wtfprwns it if you bring along Dolyak or something as well --Gimmethegepgun 01:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
