Guild Wars 2

I’ve been doing dungeons since Lv 30 on my warrior. Yesterday in CM someone said ‘no cleave’, though I wasn’t sure who s/he was saying that to. I looked all over my skills to see if there was one called “cleave”, but there wasn’t any, so I assumed s/he wasn’t talking to me (we had 3 warriors in the team).

Purely by accident I stumbled on this page today and figured that’s what he must have meant.

• Is “cleave” an official term, or player-made?
• If we shouldn’t use skills that cleave, then what do you bring instead? Longbow? I like playing melee, though. (I was using axe/mace and switching to longbow once in a while)
• Why shouldn’t we cleave?

I think whoever told you that was silly. Hit everything it’s fine. There is no cc broken by being attacked.

You should always cleave. Every single melee weapon cleaves. That person was an idiot and i advise you to not take advice from them again

I would have assumed he meant that he wasn’t cleaving and merely pointed it out to suggest that perhaps he needed to readjust his position so that he could cleave.

Doesn’t make any sense why someone wouldn’t want you to lmao.

Because movement and cleaving are exploits miku.. The devs intended for you to swing at nothing.

Thiefs dont cleave. I think the ranger GS doesn’t cleave also. Cleave is a melee attack that can hit 3 targets. Not all professions and weapons cleave. Long bows don’t cleave so maybe thats your problem?

Thieves can cleave with Sword, and Ranger GS also cleaves. You may be thinking of Ranger sword, where only the 2nd hit in the auto attack chain does not cleave.

Daggers do not cleave.
