Usage Strategies

• A useful combo is Burst of Speed + Cloak of Shadows.

• The duration increases very slowly with CA level. It gains 1 second every 20 levels. If the Inertia mod is chosen, the cooldown will be reduced to 50 seconds. This means once Burst of Speed reaches level 100 the duration will catch up with the cooldown. Around this point the Assassin can begin to maintain Burst of Speed constantly (if regen times have been kept low).

• The chance to block roots scales with CA level but is subject to diminishing returns. Still, it can reach upwards of 80% at very high levels.
