Avenging Cleave

[Grimstad]

T5 KotC Avenging Cleave; according to the description, it supposedly hits with +40% damage and adds +1 vulnerability to targets, but every time I use it, it seems to do no damage at all. I'm running a Charisma paladin using the Feydark tree for Charisma to attack and damage. Avenging Cleave doesn't seem to be limited to evil creatures, according to the description. Live creatures giggle when I hit them with it. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

Good to know I'm not the only one seeing this.

It seems there are many small annoying things that surfaced a few updates ago.
Here are some others I noticed:

Wisps and similar enemies go invisible
Certain enemies go crazy. Like circling constantly around your player. Not sure if the AI is bugged or this is a semi-lag related thing. They also seem to run alot more when engaged in melee, even if not a natural range monster. Quite annoying for melees.

So it's not only me

You ever wonder how the devs manage to screw up such a simple thing? It's actually perplexing to me.

 

[Grimstad]

So I'm assuming it does the +1 vulnerability but not the 40% damage
Edit: which makes it pretty much worthless as a capstone enhancement

So does it do any damage at all, or just base damage without the 40%?

It seems to do only base damage to mobs. It takes a tiny chunk off their red line. If they are bosses, it does practically nothing. I'm relying on Quick Cutter in epics as my main attack. Unfortunately, it's an epic strike, so it shares a cooldown with all other epic strikes.

All the other strikes are worse so

Great leveller is good, cleaves, wwa

Guess we can only hope it gets fixed soon.

There was a long-standing bug where, if you perform multiple attacks quickly (like chaining cleaves) then the animation and damage of this ability gets interrupted/cancelled. Don't have a paladin right now to test if the bug has become more severe, but that's what the problem used to be.

I know if you use it "too" close to E cleave in the tree it will not work, I have learned that you do E cleave, some other stike, then A cleave, then you get all your damage .... its well ... typical

E Cleave being Exalted Smite? Not even using that at this time, but I'm going to try what you said.

Is it doing a different animation? Maybe it's just treating it as a normal swing. Also, the stack of vulnerability (maybe 2?) is super crap.

I believe @Grimstad is speaking of the Knight of the Chalice Tier 2 Exalted Cleave, which is the melee sub-selection under Exalted Attack

We're stealth gutting paladin to the point it's only useful as 14 levels splash for holy sword.
