Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

The ferocity of Uliana’s unrelenting attacks was often compared to that of a lion.

Seven Extra Strikes

This fist weapon makes Seven-Sided Strike deliver seven additional hits, effectively doubling the skill's hit count. Each of those extra strikes benefits from your damage bonuses, so an already brutal combo turns into a true barrage.

For the Monk this is the cornerstone of an explosive burst build around Seven-Sided Strike, shining especially against single strong targets and elites. Tip: Make sure every strike lands on the same target instead of spreading them out - combine this with runes or items that amplify each hit and the extra strikes stack into enormous single-target damage in a fraction of a second.

The skill behind the claw

Seven-Sided Strike costs 50 Spirit, has a 30-second cooldown and deals 5677% weapon damage over 7 strikes as you dart between nearby enemies. The cooldown only starts once the skill's effects end. Lion's Claw's power is fixed at 7 extra strikes and does not roll - when comparing two claws, only the properties matter.

Runes and the extra strikes

  • Fulminating Onslaught: each strike explodes for 877% weapon damage as Holy in a 7-yard radius - so more strikes mean more explosions.
  • Sudden Assault: teleports you to the enemy and raises the damage to 8285% as Lightning over 7 strikes.
  • Sustained Attack: cuts the cooldown to 14 seconds.
  • Pandemonium: no Spirit cost, and enemies hit are Frozen for 7 seconds.
  • Incinerate: sets enemies ablaze for 3 seconds.

Stats and pairings

+626–750 Dexterity is fixed. A random elemental damage roll of +(981–1,199)–(1,175–1,490) is added; pick the element that matches your rune. Base damage is 168-392 at 1.40 attacks per second.

Lion's Claw is frequently combined with pieces of Uliana's gear - Strength, Heart, Fury and Destiny - along with Gungdo Gear and The Fist of Az'Turrasq. That fits the flavor text, which compares the ferocity of Uliana's relentless attacks to that of a lion.
