Rank 7, 5 combo points: Damage = Attack Power * 0.24 + 1092

Notes

• The target must have at least one combo point on them in order to be able to use this ability.

• As described by the tooltip, Rip damage is affected by attack power per combo point. Empirical data gathered by player Staralfur in patch 2.0 suggests these calculations:

Rip(5) 942 + .24*AP
Rip(4) 774 + .24*AP
Rip(3) 606 + .18*AP
Rip(2) 438 + .12*AP
Rip(1) 270 + .06*AP

Tips and Tactics

• This is a great "finishing move" for the harder enemies that are only half dead when you get 5 combo points on them.
• This is considered a bleed effect. Bleed effect damage is not reduced by armor.
• Rip gains a 30% bonus to damage if Mangle is on the target.

Past changes

• Prior to version 1.12, Attack Power did not factor into the damage of a Rip.

Rank	Level	Description	Cost
1	20	Inflicts 18 + 36*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	20
2	28	Inflicts 24 + 54*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	45
3	36	Inflicts 36 + 72*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	99
4	44	Inflicts 54 + 102*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	2 27 50
5	52	Inflicts 72 + 144*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	2 60
6	60	Inflicts 102 + 198*(# of Combo Points) damage over 12 sec.	3 40

Starting in version 1.12, Attack Power adds into the damage caused by a Rip. To balance this addition, the base damage was reduced.

• Before Patch 2.4, all Mechanical, most Elementals, and some Undead enemies were immune to bleed effects. They no longer are.
