This is a new stat that can spawn on jewels. It makes single-target skills do splash damage in an aoe around the target you hit. This helps make melee builds viable as they will no longer need to hit every single monster one at a time. It does not work with AoE skills such as Whirlwind. Your splash damage is always equal to your Normal Attack tooltip so switch to Normal Attack and open your character sheet to see your splash damage. You can equip a melee splash jewel anywhere on your character or mercenary, not just the weapon slot.

A jewel with the Brute's prefix which grants Melee attacks deal splash damage.

Splash Damage

Splash damage deals damage in a cone-shape in front of the character. Only a successful melee attack on an enemy can trigger the splash effect. By increasing the area of effect (AoE) of melee attacks, this item goes some way to balancing the clear speed gap between caster and melee builds.

Additional Information

Melee Splash damage is the same as your Normal Attack tooltip damage. Therefore, to view your melee splash damage, switch to Normal Attack on your left or right click skill and open your character sheet. Just like Normal Attack, splash damage is not affected by the triggering attack skills such a Sacrifice, Concentrate, Jab, etc. This is also true of attack rating bonuses on triggering attack skills. Here's an example of what affects the damage:
