Not that Swift isn't useful per se, but I'd gladly spend the MP to get in or out and have a tool that either gives me an early BH curve or, in the case of SAM especially, ridiculous sustain. Just millions and millions of healing, which now has a damage boost for some reason.
SAM has zero escape too though. You just have to hope that an enemy is somehow behind you and allows you to jump at them which is a big if. So what do you do once you're out of bloodbath? If you start running you can't really bloodbath anymore. If bloodbath is over, what do you do to get out?
