    I can second this.

    I might be way off here because I don't exactly have the time to devote my attention to it in the middle of a match, but I can't count the number of times I've thrown a Glory Slash at a guy only to have Protect get tossed off of them instead of something useful that was further up the line. I don't know if it's totally random, or if there's some kind of underlying weight system that governs which buffs take priority, but it doesn't seem to be "last in, first out." So far, I haven't been able to find any rhyme or reason to which buff gets nailed, all I know is that it's a little annoying to work around.

    Glory Slash is an unreliable ability at best. It's range is extremely limited, and it has a slow animation; so, it's easy to miss. At times, it seems that you literally have to be kissing the player you're targeting to get an effect of any kind. The knockback also seems to be very finicky, because sometimes it doesn't work. A buff will get removed, but the target doesn't budge an inch. That get's frustrating, because using it as a cast interruption because a roll of the dice. Each time I use Glory Slash I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette instead of making a tactical decision.

    Try making a Glory Slash macro

    /facetarget
    /ac "Glory Slash"

    See if that helps.

    I would place Cleric's in its own catagory 9as its the only ability that SE actually disabled in PvP) and mentioned that most AoE attacks (Fire II, Flare, Rockbreaker) are just as useless/situational as Decimate (Cometor and Terminal velocity being the exception)

    That's very unlikely to work 2 weeks from now once 3.4 hits.

    Well that definitely helps with targeting, but the ran is still gimped and it's still up in the air on how effective the knockback or debuff will be. Sadly, those things are on SE's end of the table. Either way, the maccro is a good idea and sound advice. Thanks for that ... at least for now, until SE shoots that in the foot as well.

    I'm sorry but Summon II for SMN has utilities even though limited so don't just call useless please. So does Decimate, even though Fell Cleave is powerfull, it doesn't make skill instantly useless.

    Cleric can't even be used. Its should be the skill you're removing for Blizzard II ons SCH and AST. Either don't be on list or point out you should trade for something else~

    Reminder this macro might not work in 3.4 with the face target changes.
    Face target will not work while moving.

    It doesn't work very well right now anyway. It does help a little, but glory slash has a ridiculously small range. Even with a face target maccro in effect, it's super easy for enemy players to sidestep the move. The only time you're guaranteed to score a direct hit is if the opponent is standing still, and, even then, the knock back may or may not work. Personally, I think the move needs to be adjusted for efficiency.
