Sweeping Strikes and Cleave Stackage

[ima_nerd]

While grinding in Desolace, I noticed that Sweeping Strikes and Cleave stacked! For those who don't know, Cleave hits target and nearby opponent for weapon damge plus X on your next melee swing. Sweeping Strikes is the 21 point talent in the Arms tree that casuses your next 5 melee swings to strike an additional nearby opponent. The thing with SS is that if I have it active, a Heroic strike doesnt hit both opponents, it merely hits the target then hits the nearby mob with a normal melee attack. Anywho, SS #1:



Now, that is essentially (depending on the weapon, obviously) ~480 (2 Cleave strikes and 1 SS strike) damage for 26 Rage. That's ~18.5 damage per rage point. In comparison, Heroic Strike is about ~3.9 damge per Rage point at it's current level. Throw in 4 chances to crit and you got yourself some crazy fast grinding. SS #2



Just thought I'd throw this out there to everyone who lays a Warrior or is planning on it. I'm not sure if this is working as intended or not but I sure hope it is.

Oodles of exp in about 7 seconds. SS #3:
