Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

I love this change.

They obviously can't raid or anything, and since there is a separate sprint move for pvp, I see no reason why they can't get a separate sprint that has the old sprint cooldown.

OMG Ooglie remember me? It's hades

I LOVE this sprint buff. So nice to be able to use it in combat as a melee now! :)

The CD should have stayed the same out of combat.

I like it. Maybe should be 30 seconds for DoH/DoL jobs.

The only tweak I would like seeing in sprint are the following:

-Extremely short to almost no cooldown in town/cities only

Outside of town/cities:

-DoL/DoH cd back to pre-patch values outside of combat

-DoW/DoM cd back to pre-patch values outside of combat

-DoW/DoM cd stay as currently is in combat

They should make it so it's unlimited in cities once it gets activated.

It's a toggle with a timer that can be applied in any situation. Once you start adding "except for" code, you start getting problems in exactly the situations you need to Sprint.

I also think this should have honestly been the balancing factor behind the current iteration. Serious question though: Do we have any spells/abilities that function in and out of combat, but alters usability based on which?

You can't have the best of both worlds. Sprint was kind of BS because mages could just spam it where as melee had to sacrifice their core resource to use it. They removed the TP cost, thus naturally the CD is going to increase to make sure it doesn't get spammed in raids.
