Your a tank stand the fuck still lol.
    I believe the intent of that combo was for when someone pulls hate and an enemy is now running away from you. It's a ranged attack that combos from behind. Someone pulls hate, use that combo, it now has def down and you may have already gotten hate back if it wasn't a huge pull. If not you are in a pretty prime position to get hate back and then continue establishing hate with the def down.

    Not saying it's the best way to go about it but I believe that was likely their intent.

    Yeah I'm sure that that one combo is for that purpose, rarely have I seen it used over flash/voke but I'm sure it was the intent. It's a poor idea imo.

    It's not the only "from behind" on a gla/pld's bar though, if it were I think it'd be fine. gla/pld loses the 2 most damaging abils on thier bar, which also means a fair bit of hate and a bit of DoT, except in that one situation, it's like the gear swapping cause this piece of gear is only good in this 1 part of this 1 fight. Super situational, and intended for a situation that shouldn't happen often, unless we look at it as a hate reset get the mob back oh shit button, but again poor design to make things that are so rarely used/situational.

    I didn't mean to steer this toward the gla/pld is busted debates either, sorry.
