So now that Sweeping Strikes no longer gets replaced by Cleave whats your take in this talent row?
Is Cleave better than Warbreaker now? cause it just got its main drawback removed which was removing Sweeping Strikes.

I’m actually wondering the same thing and came here to ask a similar question. Recently started playing my Arms warrior again and am mainly looking to do Mythic Plus. Is Cleave pretty much the only option in that talent row for that sort of content?
Also, how often should we be using it on 2+ mobs? Only to refresh deep wounds? Does it have priority over Mortal Strike+Sweeping Strikes on AOE?
Still kinda new to Arms but my guess:
I think Cleave its better for M+ overall, since its sustained aoe dmg, while Warbreaker is for burst
I think SS is better for priority targets while Cleave its just general aoe.
I actually like Cleave even after it replaced Sweeping Strikes. However, my spec/playstyle isn’t based upon what’s optimal but what’s enjoyable to me.
Personally, I think if you’re planning on taking Anger Management as your go-to final talent, then I think Warbreaker is a better choice. This is only because you can line up Warbreaker + Bladestorm more often for burst AoE.
My guess is that Cleave provided better overall sustained damage, since it’s a better option to use over Whirlwind, but that doesn’t mean Cleave is “better” than the other talents on that row, at least not significantly.
We won’t know until the whole numbers tuning process takes place, however, I would suggest just playing what you enjoy the most versus what is considered to be the best for now.
Well this is a relief to hear. Personally, I feel more comfortable (and enjoy more, for that matter) Warbreaker over cleave, even if I plan to focus on Mythic +. I just hope I’m not gimping myself too much…
Dont think so, Warbreaker and Cleave is basically deciding if you want Burst or Sustained Aoe
So I could be wrong here but I believe Cleave also benefits from the 2x overpowered like Mortal Strike does? So in AOE situations I would assume cleave would be better than Mortal Strike…
Either that or the tooltip is just having a laugh.
It does, Cleave even mentions that in its description
You know, you don’t have to try so hard to be toxic

It’s adorable that you think light sarcasm is toxic.
I’m only bothered that Cleave isn’t baseline. Cleave not being baseline for Arms feels WRONG.
