Grenth probably should get a duration at least on par with Dwayna and Melandru - even then I don't think I'd use it, but it at least wouldn't be such a laughing stock.

Enchantment removal is rarely a big deal, either in PvE or PvP (where people that stack enchantments on themselves are stupid anyway).
Please don't talk about PvP, but in PvE I guess you're right.

Is the holy damage granted by AoB armor-ignoring?

last I checked holy dmg ignored armor.

But still its not worth AOB is only worth running now adays and even then its not the best

So I rate aob

-599 out of 10

also I would rather bring Balths pendulem now rather than AoB into a fight

Holy damage dealt directly by skills - say, from Signet of Judgment or Banish - ignores armour.
Holy damage from attacks - whether from monk wands or converted damage types from AoB or Judges' Insight - does not ignore armour.

Guys -,-"

- The 33% running speed is nice to chase a target which is nice in PvP but crap in PvE unless you are talking about excaping.
- The Holy dmg make it so the Ele dont have advantage of + armor vs Elemental and War dont have advantage of + armor vs Physical.
- +40 Armor so you can be a tank!

Ok now talking about why this skill is so crappy. It's because most of the bonuses it gives is not relavant.

- Holy dmg: Can be useful but Judge's Insight is much better in PvP. In PvE, no need to talk, melee was never a good thing in PvE (I talk about HM and such.)
- +40 Armor: To be honest why need this crap? If a War can tank better?
- 33% Speed Boost: A stance will be better for this, waste an elite just to run is stupid in PvP. In PvE you don't need to run, just use Essence of Celerity will do more than enough.

Why noobs run it a lot? Because they need to run fast, kill fast for missions? Esp without using a brain?

K, when you agree with someone, you generally don't repeat what they said and make yourself look like a fool. Observe:

They should just drop the armor thing entirely on AoB.

Make it a 33% IAS and speed boost. Either that or give a 20% armor penetration and Holy Damage like Judge's Insight.

when i PvE on my dervish i use diffrent avatars for diffrent areas. That way you can always have an advantage no matter where you go. I farm Plains of Jahrai HM (lol yes you can laugh) and i use dwayna for survival purposes(its really effective against the plants and stormseeds)
