Smiter + Lacerator

Hello
I have a smiter and it works rather well (Grief / CtA)
I have found a

Lacerator and I've read somewhere (cant remember where) that it could be usefull but not sure how to use it.
Could someone explain ?

Probably the thinking is that

Lacerator has open wounds. If you have that on gore riders or a

Belt or something I'm not sure what

Lacerator does for you. Maybe amp damage? But you want

Life Tap.

Yes,

Lacerator is useful for some $$ from

Charsi to buy new potions or tp.

LOL Sorry, I'm not sure what could be the use, but I also read somewhere it can be good, maybe

Eth with

Zod for more dmg?

Open wounds and

Amplify Damage (33% chance is massive) I would guess.
But I rather stick to my Last Wish Phaseblade and Dracul's Gloves -

Life Tap for the win.

Throwing weapons can't have sockets, unfortunately.

Lacerator is used for its high chance of

Amplify Damage, but as others have stated,

Life Tap is what you want.

Life Tap with dracul
so would need to switch to

Lacerator for

Amplify Damage and then switch to Grief (and do it again after 14s at the end of

Amplify Damage)?

As already pointed out, there are two ways to use

Lacerator as a Smiter, in both cases you have it as a throw weapon on switch.

1. Open wounds (unless you have a source for open source on the rest of your gear): Throw it on the enemy to cast open wounds, the

Smite them.

2.

Amplify Damage: This makes sense to break Physical immunities / bring down physical resistances against sundered enemies. Same as above,

Lacerator on switch, throw to cast, then

Smite the enemies.

Both cases are "solutions" for "problems" that a fully geared über Smiter doesn't have, because

1. Open wounds you get from e.g.

Gore Rider.

2. Smiters should not farm and if they were, they should not farm areas with physical immunes, and if they were, they should come with a

The Reaper's Toll'ed A2 Merc.
