Cleave is a good skill to hit multiple enemies, it works with all combination of weapons, including a weapon and a shield, a duel wield combo or one big 2-handed weapon. It is unclear what factors the % damage on Cleave, is it Weapon Damage? or the resulting damage that a normal hit would've done? Make assumptions at your own risk.

==Development==
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.
