Synergies

 * Gives synergy to : None
 * Receives synergy from : None

Burst of Speed 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 diminish quickly, six or seven points in the skill grant a large chunk of what the total skill has to offer (~64%).

Burst of Speed does not work together with Fade. Casting one overrides the other.

This ability has a hidden "synergy" with some traps. Some traps are affected by attack speed, so increasing attack speed increases trap attack speed.
