Lacerate

From WoWWiki

This page is about the Druid ability. For the former hunter talent, see Lacerate (Hunter).

It's hard to fight someone else when you're making me bleed like this...

Lacerate is a stacking bleed effect usable only in Dire Bear Form.

Rank Table

Rank	Direct Damage	DoT	Level	Cost

Notes

This ability is used similar to a warrior's Sunder Armor, though it does not generate as much threat. However, Lacerate can crit, which increases the threat caused.

The damage over time is divided into 5 3-second ticks (one-fifth of the damage each tick). Reapplying Lacerate renews the DoT debuff to its full 15-second duration.

Tips and tactics

• Very good skill for single target tanking. The tanking rotation generating the most threat is: Mangle (Bear) as often as possible; while Mangle is on cooldown, use Lacerate; if you still have excess rage, use Maul in parallel.
• When tanking multiple mobs at once, Swipe is usually a better choice than Lacerate.

Past changes

• Patch 2.4 introduced attack power scaling: Every 20 Attack Power adds 1 damage, per stack, over 15 seconds. Mangle further enhances this value.
