Impactful Attacks

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

Exactly! And, like, why give it an animation of 5 hits when the last attack is what actually grab the mob's attention?

Same reason Maim is 2 hits, BB is 3, Demolish is 6, Vorpal Thrust is 2, Straight Shot is 2, Gust Slash is 5, Scourge is 2... only one hit isn't always as impactful or entertaining to execute as multiple hits in rapid succession.
