For [[Special Attacks|special attacks]] or [[Magic#Standard Magic|spells]] which perform consecutive hits, the action time for any hits after the first is the duration between the current hit and the previous hit, not the attack speed displayed within the {{Icon|Combat}} UI.

** For [[Special Attacks|special attacks]] or [[Magic#Standard Magic|spells]] which perform consecutive hits, the action time for any hits after the first is the duration between the current hit and the previous hit, not the attack speed displayed within the {{Icon|Combat}} UI
