TP Advs Not Worth it?

So been toying around with the Advs from Super Speed and Athletics.
Versatility & Impact: Each seem to do the opposite of each other, but seem to be either broken or not explained quite well on how they work. Impact boosts your Physical damage when active, but quickly turns off when in combat (that don't make sense, as you'll be wanting to dart around if you have Melee builds)
The other seems to make you run quicker but gives no damage or damage reduction buffs
So am I missing something?

Also, from some testing, apparently Impact doesn't work for R2 and R3 for Mach Speed? I guess that's a bug, cause it seems to be fine for Superspeed..

TP advs have never seen a balance pass and they likely never will, it's in kind of the same feature group as stuff like interaction nodes in interior maps that need 300+ crafting skill during a level 20 mission; it's been will fully ignored cause it's too much to try and fix for the benefit it'd give

We don't need to hurry unless you are PvPer. o3o
Cuz I was thinking like TP having Advs whuold be ideal in their own right if they gave certain buffs/debuffs to them. for example
Flight: Can have a quite high Damage Reduction and some dodge (cuz being in the air, like say in XCOM games)
Super Speeds: Maybe not has the slow effect, when in combat (any ones that have elemental, fire.ice. etc, have a chance to proc)
Acrobatics/Athletics: Maybe buff in physical damage and dodge, or even healing?
just spitballing concepts
I did one time when I first started playing the game on my first character o3o/

All of us goes toward wrong way at vewy first. o3o
I do it, if I like the EU effects that R3 gives, but then I get slapped by Flow

Did this once... didn't see a real increase in damage output nor do I remember a visual improvement/change (though being a a melee nut that might be why...). Ended up caning the character and making another in their place. Never bothered ranking the e-builder since. Been tempted with a few of the booster advantages, but can never justify the Advantage Points for what is often a change occurrence for a rather limited time. Most fights these days my E-builder never even gets toggled on... barring a really bad run of luck where none of my, other, energy generating methods pop before my energy tank hits E.
And here we are with none of that doom having happened. Seems like we always end up here despite all those impassioned claims that we won't. ^_^

Only the Energy refraction on force bolts as it reduces the cost of a Force Cascade every time the bubble appears.
Apparently the one for Superspeed was bugged and they fixed it... still not worth it probably
