			}}
			{{RTOC}}
			The '''{{tt\|sweep}} command''' swings a held melee weapon low across an opponent. It is slow, extremely fatiguing and unbalancing, and unlike the other heavy maneuvers it has no weapon preference at all, so it performs the same whatever you are holding.

			==Syntax==
	Note, that despite the information on {{tt\|sweep help full}}, this is not currently a AOE attack.
			*{{tt\|SWEEP}}
			: Attack the enemy you are already engaged with, or pick a new one if you are not engaged.
			*{{tt\|SWEEP}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy.
			*{{tt\|SWEEP}} ''<enemy>'' ''<body part>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy, aiming for the named body part.
			*{{tt\|SWEEP LEFT}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack with the weapon in your off hand, training [[Offhand Weapon skill]] alongside the weapon skill.
			*{{tt\|SWEEP HELP}}
			: Basic syntax help. {{tt\|SWEEP HELP FULL}} gives the maneuver's mechanical profile, and {{tt\|SWEEP HELP LIST}} lists the other combat options.

			==Detailed Information==
⚫	{{cat\|~~Commands,~~Combat ~~commands~~}}
			Sweep is a damage dealing maneuver.<br />
			Sweep tends to be a extremely fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.<br />
			Sweep tends to be unbalancing.<br />
			Sweep is a slow maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.<br />
			Sweep is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is equally suited to puncture, slice, and impact weapons.<br />
			Sweep temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to evasion, parry, and shield defenses.<br />

			==Notes==
			* {{com\|chop}}, {{com\|bash}}, {{com\|lunge}} and {{com\|sweep}} all share a minimum roundtime. See [[Roundtime#Minimum_Roundtimes_for_Melee_Weapons_per_Attack_Type\|Roundtime]] for the figures by weapon weight.
			* Sweep strikes a single opponent. It is not an area attack.
