No one wants to become a druid's scratching post.

Rake is a basic direct damage melee attack with a damage over time component. The initial damage can critically strike, and is increased by [Mangle]. It is an effective damage technique against high armor enemies (Mail and Plate wearers), as well as preventing Rogues from using [Vanish].
