^^ If you're gonna spread misinformation, do it elsewhere. Maiming Strike is effective on any weapon with a crit rate 10% or higher with a crit multiplier of 2.0 or greater - range and hitting twice are both irrelelvant (though the former is preferred). At 10% with Maiming Strike (read: 100% base crit chance), maxed Blood Rush gurantees Red Crits after just 5 hits and climbs meteorically from there. It dramatically outdamages anything you could do at comparable combo levels without it - especially on the Ohma. Don't believe me? Here's math:

Char. 1

Ohma w/True Steel, Organ Shatter, Blood Rush, a 2x combo multiplier (15 hits) uses Rouge Edict (7 hits) and scores crits on all 7 hits

7*(2*(100(3.8)=5,320 damage (ignoring enemy defenses)

Char. 2

Ohma w/Maiming Strike, Organ Shatter, Blood Rush, a 2x combo multiplier (15 hits) uses 1 Spin attack and scores a 5x red crit (51.5% chance of occurring)

2*(600(5*(3.8-1)+1))=18,000 damage (again, ignoring enemy defenses)

Char. 3

Ohma w/True Steel, Organ Shatter, Blood Rush, a 4x combo multiplier (1215 hits) uses Rouge Edict (7 hits) and scores 1x Red crits on all 7 hits

7*(4*(100(2*(3.8-1)+1)))=18,480 damage (ignoring enemy defenses)

A single attack from Maiming Strike with just 15 hits secured essentially = 7 attacks with 1215 hits secured without it. While it's possible for you to grind all the way up to 1215 hits just to break even with Maiming Strike, it's excessively time consuming to do so, and you'd be outright stupid to leave Maiming Strike off just because it's possible (assuming DPS is your concern, of course). Maiming Strike is just orders of magnitude better than attacking normally, and there's no way around that.

It doesn't mean that you can't enjoy fighting normally or shouldn't use combos, just don't pretend that they're comparable to spinning - they rarely (if ever) are.

And yes, spin atacks always hit all enemies around you which is why range is preferred (but not necessary).
