Dash Rumors

[Lazy Boy]

Ok, so I've had a major problem with making my build because of all of these "Dash Rumors". For example, some people have said that dash causes you to run in a direction without stopping for a while. It sounds like it's bull to me, but I don't want to run the risk of getting it if some of these rumors are actually fact.

Could anyone answer someone of the rumors floating around with a video?

Rumors:
~When you activate dash, you won't be able to stop fast enough to avoid running into monsters.
~Dash will cause backspin blow to not work right.
~Dash will consume a lot of mp because it is easy to accidentally use it.


Any help on these is welcomed, but I'd really like to get proof through a video.

1)When you activate dash, your speed increases and obviously due to human reaction speed you will walk a bit more than you would have without dash. Snowshoe kinda kills that point though, but not everyone wears them.

2) Dash deactivates when you turn around, and you will be doing a LOT of turning around with Backspin blow and the Uppercut mvoe (can't remember exact name), because Backspin blow works when you're facing away from the enemy. Therefore, Dash is next to useless when working with Backspin. I can't see it actually being *detrimenting* though.

3) Well, Dash does cost MP. It doesn't cost a whole lot of it though.

I think it is detrimental because you are spending MP for literally NO benefit and your attacks get slowed down a bit due to the brief cast. All that plus the fact that infighters have SUCH low range that having a skill that speeds you up would more often result in you running into monsters when it is cast.

Most of the guides I have read due say that it is not going to make your character useless and that it is handy for traveling. They just say that due to Infighters play style it doesn't really provide a great benefit.

I think its a lot like Final Attack for warriors in that you'll activate it randomly often and it'll annoy if not slow down training because it throws off your rhythm.

They're facts, not rumors. And yes, dash is not really very useful to infighters, since it's always being negated by your attacking skills. The mp usage and accidental running into monsters isn't a big deal, just a little annoying at times. It really depends on you and your character, but most infighters put 0 points into dash.

So, spending your 1 SP into Double Shot is better than into Dash?
