Any experienced player knows how this will affect the placing of slayer in pve? Will it put slayer close to warr/archers

    I would say not even close honestly.

    Depends a lot on the "buffed all the same skills + HT, MS and OS" by how much %?
    Because 10% castspeed/damage to your 3 filler skills is negligible.
    Backstab buff will help a lot though

    Slayers are already close to warrior/ archers... provided your ICB glitches.

    It has a 1 in 10 chance of 'glitching' if we are thinking the same thing. On a spell that has that long of a cooldown, it doesn't even come close to being a reliable comparison

    I read the more detailed upcoming Slayer changes and I'd say it's not going to affect the class by a whole lot. You'll still do your usual skill priorities and the changes to KDS will make it more safer to use. The 10% base damage buff to KDS, WW, OHS, and UOHS are nice to have. Measured Slice crit chance buff (1.1 -> 1.5) would probably make full crit setup a bit over the top (talking about +250 crit factor bonus) but who knows if it's going to land 100% crit all the time. It already received multiple crit chance buffs in previous patches so I would think it should crit all the the time even at lower crit factor, but we'll find out soon enough.
