Synopsis
sweep
Description
Sweep is a combat technique favored by Barbarians that allows them to swing a bladed weapon around in a circle, striking all enemies within range for a significant amount of damage.
- Lower than level 60 - the Barbarian may hit up to 2 enemies
- At level 60 to 119 - the Barbarian may hit up to 3 enemies
- At level 120 to 179 - the Barbarian may hit up to 4 enemies
- At level 180 to 239 - the Barbarian may hit up to 5 enemies
- At level 240 and greater - the Barbarian may hit up to 6 enemies
- Depending on the weapon being used this proficiency will cost
- the Barbarian a variable amount of Stamina. Sweep can be used with
- sword, axe, halberd, scythe, two-handed sword, and two-handed axe
- weapon types.
- Ogres are large and savage enough that they can sweep without a
- slashing weapon, instead uprooting and swinging a moon oak from
- their room. This does considerable damage, but obviously destroys
- the tree.
Hitting 3 or more opponents with sweep, also grants 'combat focus', a lingering after-effect that provides a temporary +2 accuracy boost.
