This article is about the druid ability. For the hunter ability, see Ability hunter laceration [Lacerate].

Lacerate is a Guardian druid ability, learned at level 38. It applies a stacking bleed effect and has a chance to reset the cooldown on Ability druid mangle2 [Mangle] when dealing damage.

Improvements

Notes

  • Lacerate can crit, which increases the threat caused.
  • 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: Ability druid mangle2 [Mangle] as often as possible; while Mangle is on cooldown, use Lacerate; if you still have excess rage, use Ability druid maul [Maul] in parallel.
  • When tanking multiple mobs at once, Spell druid thrash [Thrash] is usually a better choice than Lacerate.

Patch changes
