melee attack · the transfigured gem version of Lacerate
Lacerate of Haemorrhage 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 Blood Stance version by default, and requires a one-handed axe or sword. It has lower damage effectiveness and does not gain added radius with level, but has a lower mana cost, higher attack speed, and more damage with bleeding.
Leans harder into bleed stacking than raw hit damage.
Level requirement: 12.
