Thread includes little tips about Slayer's some skills and race differences, especially for new ones or anyone who interests. Its like a bit "basic" stuff. +
Slayer Skill Animations - Races - Ranges - Tips
Skills and Tips :
Fury Strike : 
Castanic M: 5m Castanic F : 6-6.5m
Elin: 7m and fastest
Others : 3-4m
Tip: How less health you have,that much damage you will hit. You can be still horrible and get people in 1vs2 , 1vs3 with wisely use of FS, because they will low your hp anyways.. Another good thing with FS is, usefull especially against to healers in BG's. Healer will heal them %30 lesser in the FS's effect which may cause to death some of his party/raid.
Auto Attack : 
Fastest : Aman male
Second Fast : Casta F
Slowest : Elin and Popo
Tip: First hit of AA staggers your enemy. If you want to stagger someone longer, use it with Fury Strike. Like this> AA, FS, AA or/and AA,roll,AA,roll,AA,Whirwind,AA,Distant Blade, AA ... Remember like around every 1.5-2 seconds you have that first hit of AA, stop after first hit, using another skill between AAs rolls the AA back to first hit(stagger) or after time passed another AA's first hit means stagger.
Stagger is important you to use before Startling Kick or avoid from enemies before roll and run etc.
(Distant blade does not staggers, just using "any" skill will roll back AA to its first hit)
Knockdown Strike: 
Fastest: Casta F
Tip: One of the best skill of slayer. It has defensive( anti-stagger,kd) role, offensive(kd chain) or to use/cansels to reach combo speed (with kds cansel, hit overhand faster, with canseling both - hit a measured slice, with kds cansel and hit evicescerate to kd a bit far enemy safely etc..)
Overhand Strike: 
This is what makes you slayer. This is your hand, your foot, your weapon, your everything. Get %60 chance to eliminate cd glyph without any doubt for pve+pvp. Situatianly get a %3 hp recovery glyph, especially when solo something or in some BS's which you can be alone somehow against some enemy, like CS - FW. With ICB you can fight like 2 people, you and a bit noob healer( %3 hp of OS ) supporting you time to time. Instead of run try to fight and land OS as much as possible so they will die/run not you. ICB - in cold blood - is your buff which will cansel OS's cooldowns. Till OS is combo-able with tons of skills, you will go in a killer mode, use it wisely and kill enemy in the buff time or harm deathfull. So use with Tenacity for no one not to stop you with a stun and your valuable ICB not flies to air.
Eviscerate: 
Sadly this skill changed all playstyle of slayer. Nearly combo-able with everything, makes slayer much easier to play - backspace- .
Nice damage and kd skill if you combo/combo cansel it with another skill (i.e: leaping strike+evis=kd). If you use it alone, just staggers the enemy(this kind of use has benefits also).Not much to say, glhpyed it,use it as much as possible,
Btw, play with backspace..its lazy and/but relax mode. Its okish, np. Use backspace if u want to, but "after" you learned all, after you can use every kind of combos. CS is a relax place, use there or use in dungeons. But in duels, 3vs3 avoid to use any space bar even you are beginner or prof no matter (because you will be slower + you will definetely use a wrong skill which not good for the actual situation or waste your skills).
Heath Thrust: 
Elin: 10m and perfect HT hitter or gap closer while your enemy run from you.
Others: Around 6-7m
Aman: Easier then all other races to land HT without stun even enemy while moving. Gives bonus chances as open different combos.
Human: Close to aman but sure harder (to hit without stun).
Tip: In past it was slayers one of the biggest hit with measured slice to kill ppl. It was the most important part of Slayer's main killing build. Now dont bother to glyphed it in some BG's like CS or in duels even since you wont be able to give a full combo with it, especially with Overpower buff. Instead of that kind of use, use this after you put your enemy while he is in kd chain.
Another, after you used HT even very short amount of time, you will not be staggered,kd ed by someone else. With a wisely use, this will make you far from some danger like another slayer's backstab even ( sure not best choise while you can use Tenacity, headlong rush, counter backstab,ww,kd strike -yes it will kd even enemy back of you- or just simply use stunning backhand which all are better than using this but just good to know and remember it just in case).
Again in past, poporin and human f was the only ones who can land HT easly when enemy on the ground. Now, every race able to do it; so use it against to a kd chained enemy.
Startling Kick: 
Aman M: Easier than all others to land it to moving enemy without stagger first.
Human : Second easy again even enemy moving.
Tip: You can hit it right after your enemy use Retaliate with a nice timing - not against to classes like ninja offcourse, wont work cause of their untouchable/invisible stand up-
Exhausted Blow: 
Another good against to healer skill with Fury Strike. Use it and attack without waiting.Then use Fury Strike when effect gone from healer. And healers(or anyone) who hit by these and see slayer using ICB, prepare yourself, slayer going to attack you anytime. Also it gives not bad damage at all, usefull to use against low hp running enemies as final hit.
Uncertain observation of Mito(no need to read here but): Somehow Popo's evasive roll eliminate cd looks like more than %20 or he somehow catch that %20 more than others(at least it was, like 2 years and before it). But dont count this or if you have a popo slayer friend near you, check it. Or not. Not important. 
Races:
For beginners which race to go ?
- Human m-f, High elf f or even maybe Aman m
Why is that?
- With these, easier to land skills-lesser misses and lesser dsync you will see. Since its working like "how much range, that much dsync" on slayer. Picking lesser/mid range ones will make you more comfortable to land your skills to enemy. Best is human male for starters (also has passive pvp defence on human).
What the hell i will do if dsync?
- Try to land a "waste-able" skill like AA to enemy first. Dont panic and use for ex backstab since it may bring you more dsync that moment. Use lesser range skills like idk stunning backhand or go out of combat for couple of seconds etc..
Best race of all slayers? (except Mito )
-Casta fem overall, surely best. Faster in overall nearly all skills but not hugely differences. Fastest KD strike, second best AA, decent animations, longer safe time with evasive roll compare to others, nice range on skills of HT - Fury Strike and harder to see 
(aman/human m/baraka says "yohooo i'm here").
Worst race of all slayers?
- Poporin and baraka, but also must fun 
What about Elin???!
- Elin definetely a decent one. Good things of her, range (ht-fs), small , better headlong rush. Bad things of elin, very slow auto attack - probably slowest one with popo - . Slow kd strike. But except these are, its pretty play-able one and for me its one of the best even.
To be honest, this would be my first 4 :
1- Casta F , 2- Elin , 3-Human / Aman M / Casta M 4- High elf Fem
I'm a PvE'er, which race to go?
- Any is okish for PvE. If you want a bit advantage, check racial skills for ex like aman's "No Stranger No Pain" - Decreases damage received by 10% when your HP is below 30% - pvp and pve - or popo&elin's "Friendly Current" to win in swimming races (no such race, but may save you in FW 1-2 times, idk)
Which combos i should use?
- 
None...Fight situational and dont panic. Guessing your enemy is the key of the win and dont do that mistake your own.. Be unexpected. And learn combos by yourself. Thats the most important part.
How can i kd chain my enemy?
- The easiest way is doing the first kd with eviscerate. For example take a Tenacity and Headlong Rush to your enemy, roll 1 time if neccessary, use Stunning Backhand since its easy catch - hard to miss. And hit with evicesare. Now he is kd'ed , he used Retaliate and stand up? Nice, use Backstab right after his Retaliate, he cant move? Good. Give an AA or FS first, now Startling Kick, now KD Strike and boom he is in KD chain. Easiest way. Continue with Overhand Strike and Measured ops another kd (btw your eviscerate cd finito). Use your imagine, he will stand up, you can jump to his right or left with Leaping Strike and Eviscerate him for another kd chain. Go on.
Are Slayers op?
- Nope. But maybe you are.. (maybe a second Mito, maaaaaybeeee)
Idk what Valkyrie patch how will change in overall. As everyone, sure Slayer improved too like fury+overhand opportunity. Faster kd's,overhands after distand blade, 3 sec lesser backstab or % damage and crit improve on eviscerate and measured. Which these looks waow.. But changes not only for Slayer offcourse, like Fury Strike's speaciality, Zerk's Lethal Strike now may hit up to %200 damage from %15 hp, which is a killer - one shot to anyone probably with full charge So idk in this patch for sure but Slayer probably got seriously nice changes. + May shine +
Which Glyphes i should use for PvP?
- There is no Slayer's PvP Glyphe... I mean not only 1.
There ARE :
1- CS Glyph
2- 3vs3 Glyph
3- Duel Glyph
4- Duel 2/FW Glyph
5- PvE Glyph
You can use here http://www.essentialmana.com/glyph-calc/#sl65
Actually even sometimes depends to your enemy..Sometimes(against a kd chainer op zerk for ex) Retaliate's Decreases cooldown by %20 Glyph is a neccesity a must, sometimes np. Sometimes(CS,FW) you dont need HT's %35 chance to eliminate cooldown while sometimes you absulately need it (even you wont do traditional HT combo) etc.
I recommend give a time to understand your own playstyle, as a beginner define the most skills you use to kill someone and begin to give glyphes to that ones.
Mito i heard you like Swedish girls, would you come to my place to drink a coffee?
- Sure! 
Coffee is my favorite thing!
Ah sorry i meant tea..
- Sure! Coffee is my favorite thing after tea!
You sure?
- Sure! Swedish girl is my favorite!
What?
- Oups! 
Nothing nothing, tea tea , yes no. 
Note: Its possible i made mistakes with sentences in English or about new patche changes since i quit the game and English is not main lang. Its possible i gave a wrong info about even Slayer , we are human being in the end, its normal. Just fix it, help it if u see some problem.
Furthermore, this basic infos may help someone who doesnt know Slayer. Cheers
