Phase Run

Phase Run is an active skill gem that applies a buff to the character that grants increased movement speed, increased stealth, and Phasing. Using any skill while Phase Run is active will replace the primary buff with a secondary buff that grants more melee damage for a shorter duration. Phase Run consumes Frenzy Charges to increase its duration.

Skill functions and interactions

Despite the skill's tooltip suggesting otherwise, the Melee Damage buff from Phase Run is present during both the primary and secondary buffs.

Duration: Skill Duration, Buff/Debuff Duration, the Increased Duration Support gem and Frenzy Charges will increase/decrease the duration of both the primary and secondary buffs.

Monster Response time: Phase Run causes monsters to respond to the character's presence slightly slower than usual.

Trigger Gems: When linked to a Trigger Support gem, Phase Run should be placed as the last skill gem to be triggered, because otherwise the primary buff (movement speed) will be cancelled by any intervening skills and be replaced by the secondary buff (melee damage).

Damage - The more melee physical damage modifier will apply for a base duration of .2 seconds after the character uses a skill other than phase run. For most attacks this doesn't matter, because most attacks calculate their damage the moment you use them, however Flicker Strike does not calculate the damage until you teleport.[1] When using an attack that snapshots the damage bonus will apply to the entire duration of the attack.
