[Jurriaan]

Is it intentional that Fearless Cleave also triggers when you don't move in the direction of an enemy?

if I (@) Fearless Cleave to the empty square to the right, A and B take damage.

Fearless Cleave has been buffed in 1.6 beta
It has changed FROM

1.5.10: Take a step toward your foes using the momentum to cleave all creatures in a 3 wide arc in front of you for %d%% weapon damage.

TO

1.6beta: Take a step toward your foes then use the momentum to cleave all creatures adjacent to you for %d%% weapon damage.

I know, but moving right in this situration can't be described as 'taking a step towards your foes'. At best, you stay at an equal distance, but you certainly don't get nearer.

Otherwise, it is just Death Dance at lower stamina cost.
