Broadswipes

Broadswipes is a Warrior ability.

In-Game Description

 (Passive) Hero's melee attacks deal x damage to all other foes within range.

Upgrade

 Broadswipes deals +2 damage to enemies within range.

Specifics

• Damage = Bonus Damage + Potency, minimum 1
  • Upgraded damage = 2 + (Bonus Damage + Potency), minimum 2
• Bonus damage and potency are both rounded down before being summed
• Damage from Broadswipes counts as an attack for setting up flanking

Uses

• Stack enough Bonus Damage and Potency and this ability can become mass-murdering. Damage from Bloodrage also stacks.
• Part of a strong warrior archetype, with Sentinel, and Vigilance.
• Combo with Long Reach and / or spear weapons to increase the number of targets within range.
• Combo with abilities that grant extra attacks - i.e. Battledance, certain transformations (e.g. Scorpion Tail, Wolftouched), a mystic with Spiritblade.
• Combo with Zealous Leap as both abilities benefit greatly from Potency, and Leap assists in setting up extra attacks.
• Alternatively, combo with Shieldshear or Backslam to dish more damage on a swift action.
• Applies some weapon effects (e.g. poison) to targets.
