Cleaver is a deployable skill which deploys a bed of sawblades to lacerate and inflict bleeding on enemies walking over them.

Details

• Special Effects:
  • Throws an arcing projectile which explodes on contact with an enemy or a horizontal surface. The projectile will bounce off a Shieldbearer's shield without detonating. Upon exploding, it deploys a bed of sawblades.
    • Cleaver deals damage over time to enemies walking over it at a rate of 2 ticks per second, producing a base tick damage of 17.5.
    • Cleaver inflicts bleeding on enemies for 1.8 seconds, damaging them for 6 DPS per effect.
    • Cleaver can inflict up to 50 ticks before destroyed.
    • Only one bed of sawblades per Cleaver skill is allowed at a time - attempting to deploy a second one will destroy the first one.
    • Cleaver ceases to function if the player moves too far away, but resumes operation once the player comes back into range.
• Tags: Deployable, Bleed, NeedPower
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Double Stack
    • "Applies 2 stacks of damage over time effects instead of 1."

Synergies

• The Cleaver has great crowd control potential and synergizes nicely with the bleed damage affix.

Notes

• This skill is effective against the Concierge and other humanoid bosses as well.

Trivia

• This item was previously called Meat Grinder.
