Maybe instead of increasing the running speed on the third one, let the song stay on when you are getting hit.

Sabotender Mazurka LV99

Increases the Movement Speed of party members within the area of effect. Party members under effect will remain so even during enemy attacks.

I find that this would be useful in many ways just trying to escape some nasties that want to kill you. It may also add some interesting new tactical scenarios for battles.

Please add your thoughts (or a better name for the spell).

This will never happen as it would be considered broken, allowing NMs to be constantly kited without the tank ever getting hit.

That being said, if it was given a 30 sec duration with a 2+ min recast, it may be possible as it would then be possible to use just for getting away from a mob, but not for constant kiting (except when using Nightingale/Troubadour/SV).

Idk if it would, really. We'd have to think of some scenarios. I think with that cooldown timer and the song lasting 1-minute without troubadour would be most reasonable. Or that and if it only targeted one person?

They specifically broke Gravity for NM's to stop this..... no way will they then allow a spell to do it.

Sonic Mazurka would sound better

PLDs, RDMs and BLMs have been doing this for years. Wlegs and Gaiters aren't exactly new. And it doesn't require a BRD to follow you around and waste one of their songs just so you can move faster. And it still wouldn't help against mobs with higher movement speed, which there are a lot of recently.

This would obviously depend on how much + movement speed the song gave, as to it's effectiveness. Remember that mazurka stacks with gear.

Well, there's really only two states - faster than a mob or not. Everything else is either useless or luxury. I can't name any NM off the top of my hat that moves at 12% movement speed. Most I know are either significantly faster (up to 100%) or same as players (without movement speed, i.e. 0%). In either case, I just don't see it as being very relevant. How many fights are kited these days? The very idea of kiting doesn't work nearly as well as it used to do, because of relative damage increase and enmity generation. There's a lot more to kiting than just movement speed. I don't think this would make or break a kiting strategy.

Correct. NMs aren't killed whilst being kited. They're just held whilst party members arrive/unweak, or in the case of Legion, the 2 spare NMs could possibly be kited whilst the other 17 members kill the first. IDK of the feasability of that, but if it's possible, SE wouldn't have it.
