In the game , does reave magically tear things apart and as we gain momentum the more widespread the "tear" becomes?

What was going through the developer's mind as he name this skill? Like : " Hmmm nothing actually fits the description of what this action does and ground slam has already been taken.. Ground quake? EarthQuake? Fuck it, lets take some generic RPG skill names and call it a day" ?

A broken skill, sometimes it just passes the enemy then 1 second later the damage hits, the stacks expiration cannot be predicted at all. That's why I chose flicker strike over this.

There's a reason I call my sword reaving Shadow "Strider Hiryu".

Alva: I'm sweating like a hog in heat
Shadow: That was fun
and why does this game have a Reaver sword when you can't use Reave with it???

I want cut scenes damnit.

How can you not like steak?
I would like to see Two Handed Swords get Reave personally.
finally complete their weird niche of having all the sword skills.
"If they actually showed gameplay with it zoomed out and then zoomed it in for the real one I think there would be actual riots in the street. I think that people would burn the building down."
Agree about the 2 handed sword thing. Maybe the fear is that the range could potentially get too large? At least it works a lot better since the revision.
