Increases your Agility Bonus by a base amount of 6 points, plus an additional 2 points per rank, and your Dexterity Bonus by a base amount of 3 points, plus an additional 1 point per rank, for 90 seconds (refreshable).
Additional Information
The main reason to train Burst of Swiftness is because 3 ranks are required for Perfect Self. It is otherwise useful for reduction of the UAC Mstrike roundtime particularly at high levels of Multi Opponent Combat for less than agile races.
