Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single target DPS calculations. Note that hits marked as "Slam Attacks" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in avg dmg multi/s calculations. Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.

Notes

• Many of the attacks do bonus  Slash damage.
  • The last 5 attacks of Rapid Incisions do 25% bonus  Slash damage.
  • Every attack of Ambush Predator except the first two hits of the second attack do 25% bonus  Slash damage.
  • The first and third attack of Biting Mandibles do 25% bonus  Slash damage.

Trivia

• Dire Courtship may be a reference to a female Praying Mantis' tendency to decapitate its mate.
