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].

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.
