I haven't had as much time for testing this as I'd have liked, but one thing I'd like beyond what I've seen is easy ways to travel short distances quickly. I know the Warrior has a dash but this is on a long cooldown out of combat (not sure why).

If something like this doesn't already exist could there be something like a haste spell or low cooldown out of combat short ranged teleport just to cut down some of the hassle of getting about?

Cooldown length is balanced around turns it takes to use it again. Each turn is 6 seconds, so a 4-turn cooldown will be 24 seconds out of combat.

I'd like run speed slightly increased as well (sorry, animators)!

Yea, running in the game feels kinda sluggish.

In the early build characters were running faster:

Dunno why the devs decided to slow them down.
