Here's the current description (from Guild Wiki):
Full: For 8...18 seconds, if target foe is struck for lightning damage, that foe and adjacent foes are knocked down, and you lose 15...9 Energy or Thunderclap ends.
Concise: (8...18 seconds.) Causes knock-down if target foe takes lightning damage. Also knocks-down adjacent foes. Knock-down cost: lose 15...9 Energy or Thunderclap ends.
The description says that you lose energy upon the knockdown. But you actually lose energy whenever the enemy is struck by lightning damage.
I think this description should be fixed...
Thunderclap description: Misleading?

Standard version is fine. Concise version implies that you lose energy if you're knocked down.
Anyways, I don't see a reason for it to not be changed, so /signed I guess.

oh sorry. I only halfway read the concise description.

Many concise skills, like this one, have poor or misleading descriptions. I believe they were generated using a set of rules rather than written. The standard description for Thunderclap is fine.

Concise descriptions were a project that Anet undertook to add a "cool new feature" that actually isn't really cool compared to what they could've spent their time doing. So I'm not surprised a lot of them ended up vague and bad.

The descriptions are fine, but in this case, the "concise" description is actually longer than the verbose one.
What.
What.

I refuse to use concise descriptions, simply because I'm not so uneducated that I can't understand the information when presented to me in a sentence.
Perhaps the concise description should be fixed, but I don't think this thread needs to remain open to discuss it. We're not likely to get any meaningful discussion going on here. Thanks to Arduinna it's been listed on GWWs text bug list now anyway.
