Activate Sweeping Strikes normally; hold Shift to remove its aura before cleave becomes unsafe.

Shift: remove your Sweeping Strikes aura → Otherwise: activate Sweeping Strikes on yourself

Modifier

Requirements

  • Sweeping Strikes learned; first recorded spellbook level 30.
  • Select Sweeping Strikes in Arms: minimum 21 valid points in that tree including this talent. Legacy point eligibility does not establish early spell acquisition.
  • Requires Battle Stance
  • Sweeping Strikes must already be active on you; removing it does not require learning or casting the spell.
  • Battle Stance to activate; a second nearby enemy makes cleave relevant.

Known limitations

  • Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
  • English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
  • Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
  • The cancel branch does not cancel an already resolved hit, remove other cleave effects or restore the cooldown.
  • Keep the listed modifier combination free of conflicting action-bar bindings. Each chosen spell requires its own keypress; this is not a sequence.

Notes

  • Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
