You could be right. I didn't see the fight itself. But then that would make it a pretty shitty ability to use with KBM, since you have to button mash and micromanage the KR. It's basically an ability that's only fun if you use it as an ARPG.
It's actually weird, because it says "while active" but it doesn't have the ^ markings that show an ability can be toggled on and off. Maybe it's a mix? If you press the button you hit more than once?
I believe Spirit Blades is a passive that alters your regular attack.
Uh, nope. It's an active.
I am sure that it is a toggle. Again, I will reiterate that there are no hexagons for sustained abilities. I mean, it says right in the description 10 mana/attack while active.
Knight Enchanter looks so amazing!!!! Definitely going to be my first play through. Can't wait to see all the passives, which should prove to be amazing, as they've done such good work with the passives so far.
Also is it just me or did the 2 second glimpse of the KE's last active look like a recolor of gravitic ring from DA2 force mage?

Hopefully you can set tactics to use it effectively. eg enemy at close range spirit blade, enemies clustered spirit blade etc.
Uh, nope. It's an active.
That's really depressing if true.
But when what does "10 mana per attack while active" mean?

Yeah but there are toggle symbols, those v shapes at the top and/or bottom of toggle abilities. Also, the spell clearly activated once each time Mike pressed the button in the video.

Only if there's no AOE FF, otherwise you have to micro. Not that it's necessarily so bad, in hindsight. I realize thinking back on my playstyle that it would just be like casting the same spell over and over.

Not really. It's just a big ol' hourglass

I still think it alters yours regular attack. That would explain "10 mana per attack while active".

Hmm.. well then that is very confusing.

He's talking about the active ability below the hourglass, the third one on the tree. I saw it too in the video. Same symbol as Gravitic Ring.

Oh wow, didn't even see that. Never mind.

It might be that Mike was conversing mana, though. Basically pres "1", get off an autoattack, press "1" to disable it. I think you're right, but just saying it's not conclusive yet!

What tree has haste now?
On a side note it could be fun to incapacitate several enemies across the battlefield and set tactic: incapacitated use spirit blade then watch as they run everywhere making stuff explode 
.
What tree has haste now?
The only one left is Necromancy... but, weird...
What tree has haste now?
By process of elimination, Necromancer. So I'd say 90% confidence on that.

I think it'll be stuffed in KE too, along with Resurgence. Can something have two focus abilities in one tree? Maybe all specializations are like that?

BUT WHAT HELL IS IT DOING IN NECROMANCY?!?!?!?!
I thought that Resurgence sounded weird in Necromancy, but nowhere near as strange as Haste... at least Resurgence is at least tied to life and death... maybe they will call it "Slow Time" and say that it's an Entropy spell?
Why are we assuming Haste is a mage spell? Couldn't it be a Tempest ability?
BUT WHAT HELL IS IT DOING IN NECROMANCY?!?!?!?!
"The dead travel fast." is the only thing that comes to mind.
Not a serious response, mind you, but ... have we seen haste in any of the demos?
I must say Specialisations and Focus abilities are making no sense right now. We've seen Vivienne casting Firestorm, QunQuiz casting Stonefist + Haste, Artificer with Hail of Arrows with Mike saying Specialisations are weapon independent.... I feel like we're missing something, but from the Twitch is came off as Resurgence being the hard Focus skill for KE. I know they can build demos to show off whatever they want, but still.
Qunari Inquisitor Mage cast Haste in the E3 demo, so it's definitely not a Tempest ability.
