Dash moving the toon forward rather than backwards makes sense. It would be more useful against mobs & players in PvP... Especially if it does damage...
Last i remembered, the AoE also works without the skill being charged so when you just tap it, it will target 6 (currently just 4) enemies. This way...
Damn bro it's been a long time! I quit and came back few times, remember how we were pvping at 56? Then you quit soon after, i got like 44k ctf kills...
