I've noticed that if you are using dash when you pick up a churro it does not give you any skill recovery. The dash bar just continues to drain at the normal rate. Is this by design or a mistake?
Because its being used, Dash is an ongoing used skill. When activated it doesnt deactivate til you stop all movement. If you want some dash meter back make sure your walking into it, not running. Assassin skills are a lil tricky sometimes
Fair enough. I just won't be sidestepping to get them when when there are bullets tickling my behind...unless I need the health
I find it lame that Tanks and Assaults can charge into churros and get their skills regenerated, but the Assassin can't dash into them.
Churros don't recharge the Assassin's dash regardless of whether or not she is using the skill. I have tested this myself. The recharge rate of the skill does NOT increase when a churro is picked up. Also, if you're cloaked and you pick it up, it doesn't restore cloak. Not only that, it shows up above your head so the enemy can actually see where you are. It's like a storm of happiness.
This is actually related to the skill drain fix from title update 1 that stopped the Assassin's grapple from being drained from Scramblers/Ice Traps. I've let Uber know about it several times, and I have tested it after every update so far, and Dash has yet to be reverted to its preTU1 status. I imagine they tested the code out on an obvious skill (Dash) before they tried it on something less obvious (Grapple) and forgot to remove the code from the test skill (Dash) after the testing was successful. Churros are just a reverse-"skill drain", which is why it doesn't effect Dash, even though it should.
