^Yeah, because damage is the only thing Slash Dash is useful for, totally. It's not like I can use it to nearly teleport a huge distance away to get to places faster, or to get out of a crowd in an emergency.

And for Damage 1.0, its (unboosted) Serrated Blade damage let it kill light Infested in one hit up to level ~65, and anything else up to level ~40 (and a well aimed Dash can easily catch 20+ enemies) Now, the loss of armor ignore makes it a little worse, but even in cases where it no longer kills things in 1 hit (which for all abilities is somewhere before level 30) it still has great mobility use.
