[QUOTE="d20knight, post: 6617270, member: 6689538"] Very well argued. But I am not trying to sell RAW here. Consider the intent of the ability, and it would REALLY be jarring for Rogues to be 50% faster ever single time. Being able to move double your move speed (move + dash) and attack is already pretty powerful in itself. I am not nerfing the ability at all. With that ability alone, you stand far above the other classes already with what they can do with mobility.
