Two issues I want to put up for discussion:

1- I have a 24 int and usually tank each battle and my swiftstrike is still at 78% after 7 ranks. This compared with my other skills that grow at a pace approp for my intelligence.

2- Swiftstrike looks alot like riposte. So two questions. One, do i bother learning riposte and two, was this intended?

I find the skill rarely works compared to other inherent class skills that auto work. Stoneskin as an example.

COuld I ask the imms to re-examine the formula or what-ever ( I am not a computer techie) to see if it should not be a little more often.

1) It's intended to be a fairly rare event. As such, it will improve more slowly. (As an aside, training your INT to 25 instead of 24 will produce a marked difference in all learning rates.)

2) It is similar to Riposte, but you would benefit from practicing both. Having one doesn't impact the other, and having two ways to sneak in extra attacks is better than one.
