Thrash vs. Lacerate for Hatred

[Threezer]

Since they do basically the same damage and cost the same amount of force is there a reason to use Thrash over Lacerate? Or even have it on my bar?

Trash hits the target twice, Lacerate hits once per target. If you hit 2 or more targets with Lacerate, most of the time it's a DPS gain over Trash. But depending on your discipline, Trash will proc stuff that Lacerate won't proc.

Thank you. I knew I had to be missing something.

Lacerate is the Hatred's "bread and butter".

It's a DoT spread.

Not really a proc, but an ability called "claws of decay" which increases the crit damage of thrash. So if you have 40% crit or more you will most likely crit one of the 2 thrash hits and get an increase in surge due to it.

that's better.

And unless they changed it, thrash is still the only skill to proc your auto crit from your set bonus.
