This article is about Druid ability. For the beast, see The Rake. For the pet ability, see Rake (pet).

No one wants to become a druid's scratching post.^[1]

Rake is a basic direct damage melee attack with a damage over time component. The initial damage can critically strike, and is increased by Mangle. It is an effective damage technique against high armor enemies (Mail and Plate wearers), as well as preventing Rogues from using Vanish.
