lol this is ridiculous. This does not speed up the run 1 bit. You run slower because:

1. You have to position yourself perfectly
2. You lose dps on the summoner
3. People who aren't used to it will get thrown off and perform poorly.

It's just a crutch in parties who aren't good enough to dodge aoes the size of Texas. Or for healers with level 38 weapon (lol). They can't do it on demon wall though, so they'll wipe anyways.

It's flavor that is quite nice - and fun!

I think there are more important things they could be focusing on (and acknowledging). Like the lack of Client->Server verification. Or RMT spaming. Or server net code. Or the autowin boss fight. Or gold sellers. Or bots. Or teleport hack. Or toxic people in general (who seems to be the real issue here).
