    What I'd like to compare are the different skills, how are we ever going to choose decimate over fell cleave? it's illogical...
    Um...that's simple. Look at the tooltip:
    Delivers an attack to all nearby enemies with a potency of 280.
    Compare that to our other AoE dmg/threat grabs:
    Steel Cyclone:
    Delivers an attack with a potency of 200 to all nearby enemies.
    Ignores the 35% damage penalty inflicted by Defiance.
    Overpower:
    Delivers an attack with a potency of 120 to all enemies in a cone before you.
    In other words, Decimate does more dmg. So, why not use it? Yes, the magic numbers of Decimate aren't as great. But that's because it's an AoE attack. AoEs always does less dmg to each mob they hit than single targets attacks do, but AoEs do either equal or more dmg overall.

    To put into perspective; if you hit two targets with Decimate thats 280*2 right? Thats a total of 560, which is already better than Fell Cleave.
    3 Targets? 280*3 which is... You guessed it! 840! 4? 5? 6? The potential is only limited by its range.

    This logic applies to all AoE skills.
    For reference, not even Holy nor Flare are this powerful.
