Cleave won't crit

mrkinister · November 2017

Hello,

I've been playing around measuring various ways to increase the damage output with the Heavy Weapon's power set. I observed the progression of the Cleave combo for almost 20 minutes, watching various combinations of damage output with several powers. I couldn't help but notice that the first and second attack of the Cleave combo would have a critical hit at regular intervals (with a 37.2% crit chance with the character I was using). However, the third attack would NOT crit, no matter what. This was several hundred attack opportunities. Now, I suppose that could be a pretty long streak of bad luck, but I think there is something wrong there. I checked on the description of the power, and there is nothing mentioned about not being able to use critical damage with it, so I have to surmise this is a bug.

If anyone has a chance to test and verify this, I'd appreciate it.

It would be lovely if this could be fixed.

Thanks.

I can confirm this. Cleave's third strike does not crit, tried it on both R2 and R3. However, it does hit twice for some reason. Maybe that's why it doesn't crit.

Oh, the third hit is a combination of crushing and fire damage, so you will see two damage floaters come up. That part is normal.

Thank you for fixing this one. After this latest patch it looks like the third strike of Cleave is now having critical strikes as normal.

Thank you!
