Description	The character has learned to carry one attack through to the next, increasing attack speed substantially. This mode consumes stamina quickly, however.

Momentum is a rogue and warrior talent from the Dual-Weapon Sweep tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

• -30% attack animation time (1/0.7 = 43% attack speed increase)
• -2 stamina regeneration
• Conjuration time: 1s.

Notes

• Upkeep is in stamina.
• Momentum and Dual Striking can be used simultaneously. Dual Striking needs to be reactivated each time you enter a new zone, even if it seems active, to work properly.
• Momentum does not increase movement speed.
• There is a bug in core h.nss resulting in the loss of any attack speed bonus if the speed modifier is higher than 0.5. Activating Haste + Momentum corresponds to a speed modifier of 0.55, resulting in the loss of the speed bonus. Activating Haste + Momentum + Precise Striking results in a valid speed modifier of 0.45. This bug can be fixed with Dain's Fixes.
