Honestly exactly what was needed to spice combat up in RS3. Its SUPER satisfying to pull off correctly, and has a ton is variance in its optimal use (so far). Sure, you can use it to get your ult adrenaline back, but if your ult isnt ready yet? What about using it for defensives? Refreshing immortality? Repositioning?
Using it correctly feels like you've cheated over the game, sneaking in an extra burst of dps or a 2nd chance at life when fighting a very (hardmode) high damage boss.
Well done Jagex!
(also the sound design and voice acting is superb, but that's an entirely different post.)
