Then it should mention it in such a way as not to be misleading: “Inflicts N damage total over duration of N turns.”
or “Inflicts N damage at the end of each turn for N turns if hit not stopped by armor.”
Right now it says “damage over time” and that is associated with a damage inflicted per tick for as long as it lasts (be it 2 turns or 3 because of traits), well, for me at least.
And a Perk mention it as ‘per turn‘ too, but Cleave skill’s tooltip does not. That’s where misunderstanding is coming from.
