Is multistrike not giving you the proper attack speed or something?

I noticed with multistrike I apparently should attack every .34 seconds(well 3 hits) so I do 9 attacks per second.

I don't.


Also I tried testing out the health cost vs regen of multistrike.


At 48 mana .34 attack speed it'll cost me nearly 150hp regen.

I regen 98health per second.


I am not losing health if I just stand still and spam this ability non-stop against air.

Thats correct XD It doesnt calculate right from what I can tell.

So I'm doing less #@#in DPS than the tooltip provides.


at .65 attack speed without multi and .34 with it I feel like I'm only hitting maybe 4-5 times per second(.65 speed x3).

The speed of my hits seem in line with a dota hero that attacks 4x per second, nowhere near 10.

Tested multi and non-multi.

I lose mana in faster intervals with .65 attackspeed without multi than .34 attack speed.


So lol am I actually attacking slower?

hmm I've been thinking,


Is multistrike now "forcing" me to perform an action 3 times(once every .34 seconds) instead of my intial idea of making me attack once(+2extra blows) in .34 seconds?

Is that why I'm spending 48 mana per second instead of 148?

Read the damn skill.

Causes you to attack quickly three times with a melee attack.

Three times. The attack speed it displays is for one attack, and with multistrike you attack three times per click.

Since at level 1 multistriek gives an 88% attack speed multiplier, relative to your regular attack, a multistrike attack takes (1/1.88) * 3 = around 1.5 times as long as a normal attack, but you attack thrice in that period.

Makes sense now?

If you played diablo, the zeal skill(which this was based on) said it hit 5 times.

If you had 1 base attack per second, it would hit 5 times.

This game clearly differs which led to the confusion.

0.34 is about 3 aps. Why do you think it's 9? Multistike doesn't multiply your attacks by 3 it just adds 2 mandatory attacks after you use a skill. You mana cost per second in the situation you describe is pretty much the cost of one cast ~48 mana.

You use less mana because:

if you have a skill that cost 10 mana per cast and you attack 3 times = 30 mana for 3 attacks
if you support that skill with multistrike(180% mana multi) = 18 mana for 3 attacks

Hears another question.

If i start a multystrike attack below full life, then get to full life before the secound and third attack happen am i classed on full life for secound 2 attacks or not ?

I would *assume* yes. I'm not sure, but I would imagine the extra attacks are still rolling the weapon dmg values, thus, support gems need to be checked as well.
