Cleave: "gives +3 AP on every kill per skill level"

Does this stack, or are any unused points lost at the end of a round?

.....and does Lvl 2 Cleave gives +6 AP on every kill?

it stacks, but you lose the bonus AP when combat ends.

amazing skill with the right build! :twisted:

Yes. If you use low attack cost weapons and are fighting a mob, Cleave can be very effective. It's going to be my next skill. I might even take two levels of it.

my Blackwater build has no other worthy skills to use points on, other than Cleave or Increased Fortitude. I'm leaning towards Cleave. But it will require weapon accuracy first.
I have one other build with Cleave, only real value is with the mobs.

OK, thanks, that's about what I thought it would do,. I was just hoping it might stack indefinitely - that would be even more amazing. :twisted:

true, but one of the most deadly things in the game is a swarm of mobs rushing you.
i think there will be more of this in the future - making Cleave even more valuable, IMHO.

i don't have it on my current character, but i am toying with the idea of a new build...
yeah - here i go again, right? :lol:

It depends on what you mean by "indefinitely". As long as you are in combat it keeps stacking. When you exit combat, all the extra points are lost.

i really like Cleave with a Crit build too...

one-shotting strong enemies with critical hits back to back to back?

those random strokes of luck were very cool!

However, I already have HH 1, so to get Cl 1 I only need two skill points (the other for WA 1 of course). Since my attack cost is 3 AP, I get a benefit from that (and it means my point in HH will no longer be wasted). To get Cl 2 I would have to spend another 3 skill points. For that I could get my final level of evasion, and the remaining two levels of light armor proficiency. That seems like a better deal to me.
