Hip Cleaver

Hip Cleaver is useful for its many extra targets on attack. You don't have to spend any points in Polearm Mastery so this polearm can be used with active skills that add damage of other types, such as Mediate, Smite or Flaming Strike. Its high damage makes it a good option for a Mediate polearm build, since Mediate's damage is based upon the weapon's. For Flaming Strike, you would use Alchemy to increase damage. Nexus is useful with this type of build because it lets you life leech with on-hit damage.
