Cleave: The dual wielding penalty for Cleave is now multiplicative and includes elemental damage.

Wow, never thought of the fact that the aura nerf on top of the cleave nerf really means cleave is gutted.

Like... I don't understand GGG's balance philosophy

Month 1 - It is fine
Month 2 - It is fine
Month 3 - It is fine
Month 4 - It is fine
Month 5 - It is fine
Month 6 - It is fine
Month 7 - It is fine
Month 8 - It is fine
Month 9 - It is fine
Month 10 - TO THE GROUND!!
I really couldn't believe it when I saw it, after all the complaining that melee is weak they go ahead and nerf one of the better melee builds.

I understand that it's probably a bit too strong in races, but nerfing it endgame too is a bit baffling.

Pretty much this. I actually really like racing, so I definitely support the "something had to be done" argument; don't get me wrong there. But this still is a little confusing as far as "somethings" go.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

It was beyond OP in races.

It's like a band-aid- rip it off all at once, less painful that way.
How many people actually do racing?

1% of players?
2%?

Guess its really very very very low? (i mean not 1-2 races to test but regularly)

Assuming the "damage on hit taken"-linked enduring cry/molten shell does not cancel reave charges; reave will be the the no1 melee build.

to fix races all they had to do is apply the damage penalty to elemental damage
