Sweeping Strikes sits in row 5 of the Warrior Arms tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.

What Sweeping Strikes does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Your next 5 melee attacks strike an additional nearby opponent.

How to reach Sweeping Strikes

Row 5 opens after you spend 20 points in the earlier Arms rows. Level 30 is the earliest you can pick up Sweeping Strikes.

Is Sweeping Strikes worth the points?

One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 5. That is 20 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent or the picks it unlocks suits your build.
