Cleave and Hold Position

Cleave states that it does

120% damage on targeted
60% damage on secondary targets

When using hold position key to constantly swing, unless you specifically target an enemy you do not get the 120% damage. Its all 60%. even if there is only one enemy in front of you, using hold position key and choosing the direction seems to only yield the 60% weapon damage.

This is really counter-intuitive as most skills are viable using HOLD position key.

Is this intentional?

Holding Shift and swinging your weapon is not targeting an enemy. Mousing over an enemy is targeting an enemy.

The tooltip answers your question. 120% damage to targeted enemies.
