The Rip and Tear Aspect was added in Season 8: Belial’s Return and provides a boost to the Rushing Claw skill used by the Spiritborn Class.
This comes in handy when you want to maximize the amount of damage that the skill can do based on the amount of charges that you save up.
Depending on how many charges of Rushing Claw you have, the Rip and Tear Aspect will provide additional effects to the attack.
Rip and Tear Aspect Effects
Once you have Rip and Tear added to one of your equipment, Rushing Claw will deal an additional [10%-30%] damage and will be empowered.
When Rip and Tear are empowered, this will be based on the amount of Charges that you have when casting the skill.
The following are the empowered effects of Rip and Tear for Rushing Claw:
- 1 Charge – Heals 15% of your Maximum Life
- 2 Charges – Guaranteed to Overpower
- 3 Charges – Guaranteed to Critically Strike
- 4+ Charges – Strikes an additional time

Rushing Claw can hit several enemies, making it a powerful attack to clear out groups that you run into or that you have lured close to each other.
