The initial cast does a pretty large damage AOE slash, then while it's active it has a passive bleed aura. Any enemies you kill near you while it's activated add damage to the Maim damage. Upon deactivation, it takes that damage (which can be scene in the top right next to your health) and hits all areas within the ability's radius with it as slash damage.
