Hi,

Using Quickstride shouldn't make you switch from Passive Mode to Active Mode.
It's a waste of precious seconds to get back to Passive Mode again.

And when you flee a monster, reflex is, you disengage, you cast Quickstride and run like hell.
Here I often get hit several extra times because the character switches to Active Mode again.

Casting Quickstride after disengaging makes you benefit all the countdown and not lose 5 seconds.
