Speed attack seems a bit short and making you immobile for around 3-5 seconds, was thinking maybe make the time you can speed attack scale with your level (or faster recovering time?)

regarding Litch tongue, could it take less mana to do the charge. 100 is pretty steep (To the point where I don't think anyone uses it) compared to hoarfrosts 20(?) and staying down for a longer time with more damage. I personally like the flamelicks # of charges though.


Not really a suggestion, but I find it funny that with a perfect hugger dagger, when crouched you can't hit the floor directly beneath you xD only annoying when you need to break something which is rare and switching weapons is fast enough.

The speed attack duration does scale with level *if* you do not move too far from the point where you started the speed attack. I think Dogg's intent was to give it a skill based sorta thing, where it'd be useful when you were surrounded, and wanted to dart from opponent to opponent, but couldn't simply be used for a speed boost without skill. Downside is, of course, the moments where it's useful are further between, and it takes some judgement to determine when said moments should be.

The hugger dagger's always had crazy short reach - kinda the theme for the weapon since MS 1.3... Don't ask me how it physically shrinks your arm so you can't reach the floor. ;)

Does anyone like the idea of removing the 3-5 second immobility if you are wearing a vest type armor instead of a heavy armor?

In my opinion I think the SA charge is fine how it is. Even with all this shiney rare items, I still find that pHugger can do massive DPS and allow me to protect myself with the uShield. Ice Shield + uShield + Bone Blade charged = :D
