Axearang vs Tentacle Spike
The verdict
With crit factored in, Axearang puts out 62.4 DPS against 59.4 for Tentacle Spike — about 5% more damage per second. Base hits are Axearang 20 vs Tentacle Spike 20, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Axearang swings faster at a 20-tick use time versus 21, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
For crowd control, Tentacle Spike hits with more knockback (5.5 vs 5), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Melee weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
