That may be the case, but it still works well enough as a mobility skill provided that you don't expect it to reach like Tailwind or something.

On the other hand, the various damage buffs its received means it's now a lot more useful as a combat skill. I find myself using it a lot more, unlike previously where its damage potential fell rapidly even at mid level play. It also helps that you no longer overshoot through enemies, so you can better synergize your melee combat positioning against them.

Finally, you can now use Slash Dash to target and kill Hellions and Ospreys in mid-air, which is hilarious.

Excalibur's full mobility will return once Parkour 2.0 hits, so I wouldn't worry about it.
