It could be cyclops specific. I'll test with another enemy. It's worth pointing out that the data was NOT Force Hatchet specific though, because my 2* Dragon's Dogma dealt 7%^ more DPS in the same time frame with Heavenward Lash compared to a full Dire Onslaught. I didn't do just one hit for tests though, I was testing to see if it's actually more DPS to use Heavenward than Onslaught. So 3.75 seconds of attacking allowed, and that's it.

Dire Onslaught takes 3.75 seconds to execute the full combo, while you can execute 4 button presses (2 hit swings) of Heavenward Slash in 3.5 seconds. So I just compared 1 full Dire Onslaught combo with 4 button presses of Heavenward Slash. Force Hatchet definitely has a greater difference of 14%^, but that makes sense if the ability scales it damage better based on Strength/Attack power, since Force Hatchet over doubles Attack Power at full charge.

I want to be clear, I was not comparing Force Hatchet's damage vs Dragon's Dogma's damage, just curious if Heavenward somehow benefitted more from modifiers than just strength. I finally got my Dragon's Dogma dragonforged, so I'll use it exclusively for this next test.
