Usage
Burst of Speed graphic
Very useful skill for all Assassins. It increases movement speed and attack speed, and therefore allows to attack very quickly, chase down monsters that may flee, or escape when trouble arises. Though skill points drop off quickly, six or seven points in the skill will give you a large chunk of what the total skill has to offer (~64%).
Burst of Speed does not work together with Fade. Casting one will override the other.
This ability has a hidden "synergy" with some traps. Some traps are affected by your attack speed, so increasing your attack speed increases trap attack speed.
Lore
Tapping into her psychokinetic energies, an Assassin temporarily increases the speed of her movements and attacks.
