One proposal I've seen is having it so that the Shatter effect itself doesn't require a build-up, but the extra distance would.
We can already slide from a near-standstill to activate things like Howl of the Storm and Tempest Strike, but being able to slide 9 meters instantly and in back-to-back, rapid succession is something I think most can agree was too powerful.
