Here’s the buff that the Knives are getting.
Honestly I should have just posted this because it perfectly summarizes why the Crucis should at least get minimal cleave.
And I don’t get why the Crucis shouldn’t get that same Mechanical Effectiveness that many ranged single target weapon have, that the throwing knives are getting, and that both the Eviscerator and the Ironhelm have. If it’s that much of an issue than I believe that at least cleaving one enemy would be nice although I would prefer the same behavior as the Ironhelm.
