Lacerate

Lacerate 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 , but the two slashes overlap in the middle, hitting enemies in front twice.
