Charged Dash

Skill functions and interactions

• Unarmed: Charged Dash cannot be used while unarmed.
• Projection: The projection's movement can be steered as you are channeling.
• Steering For PC the projectile moves based on where your mouse is relative to your avatar. To do a 180 for example you will need to move the mouse behind your avatar. In some cases the projection will have to be steered in order for the stages to not reach their maximum prematurely.
• Stages: Stages are incremented while the projection is moving and are capped at a maximum based off of Movement speed and Attack speed. A faster attack speed will increase the maximum amount of stages while a faster movement speed will lower the maximum. If the projection stops due to hitting impassable terrain or reaching the maximum possible distance away from the user it will not increment any more stages. For example, if you have 8 attacks a second and 120% movement speed your maximum amount of stages will be 4.4 but could reach up to 5 with proper steering. If you had 20% movement speed instead the maximum would be 9 stages. It was stated that it might be possible to reach 15 separate stages.
• Area of Effect: The skill's area of effect does not benefit from weapon range bonuses and only benefits from Area of Effect bonuses. Despite its animation, damage from the pulses will not overlap.
• Attack speed: While channeling you will release a pulse for half of your stages. If you reach your a maximum at 4 stages it will pulse 2 times in the amount of time it takes you to reach max distance. If you reach your maximum at 8 stages it will pulse 4 times in the amount of time it takes you to reach max distance. The timing of pulses is based off the combination of your movement speed and attack speed. Movement speed determines the time it takes to reach max distance while Attack speed determines maximum amount of stages. Damage from releasing a fully charged channel will usually be higher. The damage per second is only slightly lower over all while channeling but when your max stages are less than or equal to 2 will this changes.
• Movement speed: Doesn't directly effect damage but rather indirectly allows for a faster cast time. This means you will be able to get more casts the faster you are however this lowers the maximum amount of stages you can reach while channeling. This lowers the damage each cast can perform when maximum stages are reached but should even out. It is important to note based off max stages you can reach, which is based off movement speed and attack speed, will determine if pulses or a fully released charge will be more damage over all. It is generally better to have higher movement speed.
• Mana cost: The mana cost is based off of your attack speed and movement speed. Faster attack speeds and slower movement speeds increase the mana cost of Charged Dash. The math is "Mana Cost"*"Attack speed"*"Time to reach max Distance". So for example if the cost is 17 mana, you have 8 attacks a second, and your movement speed when you start the channel is 120%. It will take you 0.55 seconds to reach max distance and it will cost 74.8 mana (17*8*0.55=74.8).
• Dual wielding: Dual Wielding while using Charged Dash will cause the player to alternate weapons each attack/pulse.
