You're gonna hate me for this...

Nah not really, when you take into account the fact that Warrior has four AoE's (Flash, Steel Cyclone, Overpower and Decimate,) you already have enough cleaves. I'm not to sure about Dark Knight but they're in possession of AoE's that can be spammed (granted neither of the two would benefit from spamming those abilities, but the point still stands: why give them more when they already have more.)

The only job that would make sense to be given a cleave of some sort would be Paladin in regards to its shield. It'd also have to be given to Paladin in such a way that it would make sense: a proc from Shield Swipe that you have the option of clicking or ignoring sense in some situations it would actually be detrimental (Ravana Extreme is the first thing in mind.) The reasoning for this is that a cleave given to Warriors and Dark Knights for their auto attacks would actually be problematic as they can't control it. Which from a design standpoint is extremely bad.


EDIT: Even on Paladin it would be bad since you'd have to designate it to only Pacify the enemy targeted or it would be considered OP.
EDIT II: Actually from a design standpoint, any sort of cleave would be bad since we're required to be surgically precise in places like (King Mog Hard/Extreme) while micromanaging the smaller moogles.

Yeah, but its just autoattack.

I think Paladins should have "Two" autoattacks.

Their shield as blunt, sword as slashing.

"Just an Auto Attack" means that in Ravana Extreme the butterflies start casting immediately while the group is attempting to work any of the four or five of them down in groups of two. A learning/farm party will potentially wipe because of that Warrior or Dark Knight if everything else goes according to plan. I don't wish things like that even on my enemies. It makes a person feel miserable when they're at fault for the struggle people face.
