melee attack · the transfigured gem version of Lacerate
Lacerate of Butchering is a melee attack skill that performs two slashes: one aimed just to the left, then one just to the right. The slashes damage all enemies in a cone in front of the attacker. Each slash does less damage than a single hit from Cleave, but the two slashes overlap in the middle, hitting enemies in front twice. Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version has no interaction with stances, using the Sand Stance version by default, and requires a two-handed axe or sword. It has slower attack speed and higher mana cost, but has higher damage effectiveness and more radius.
Trades cheap upkeep for a much deeper, more damaging set of cuts.
Level requirement: 12.
