Burst of Swiftness is a combat maneuver available to Monks only that increases a character's Agility bonus by a base amount of 6 points, plus an additional 2 points per rank. It also increases Dexterity bonus by a base amount of 3 points, plus an additional 1 point per rank, for 90 seconds (refreshable).
The cost is 30 stamina with a cooldown period, during which the reactivation cost doubles to 60 stamina.
The main reason to train Burst is that 3 ranks are required for Perfect Self. The main reason to use it is for reduction of the UAC Mstrike roundtime particularly at high levels of MOC for less than agile races.
