Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

[Dualgunner]

Yeah I dislike this too <.< I was gathering stuff and running around, was wondering why Sprint took so long.. then I noticed the 60secs cd =_=

another thing that makes me dislike the game besides "new" gauges, massive skill and class kill, our avatars still ugly flat even PS3 ended... stop dropping the ball aready!

I'll have to agree to disagree with you on the class gauges. I love the class-specific UI and it will hopefully give them ways to advance classes in the future even further since they're not bound to buff and debuff bars. I don't know how they'd handle the White/Black Mana without the gauge, and the BotD gauge is perfect for Dragoon's purposes IMO.

The skill already has different durations if in combat or not, would be nice to have also a different CD.

the TP cost removal was great, but was doubling the CD for sprint really the best solution they could think of? if its truly the "original sprint", than that is just recycling old codes as opposed to actually working on a better solution.

but i digress, my point is that there could have been a much better solution. the way i see it, CD was doubled and we are still sprinting for 20 seconds. that means that we are waiting for the ability to cool down for 40 seconds, while before, we only had to wait for 10 seconds. so technically, they quadrupled the CD.

in terms of battle, it is a great buff. in terms for everything else, its unfair beyond belief.

I like being able to sprint from time to time. I always hated being the last one to each fight because everyone else was a mage or had invigorate. Fight starts when the tank gets there if he is last so sprinting I'd be out of tp for the fight. This change is very nice.

The CD should have stayed the same out of combat.

This, there was no reason to nerf it.

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?

Lily triggers and rescue.

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.

You are not reading the post are you? well most are not so I guess it is expected. The complaint is not the change for combat, that is good. But it is nerfed for outside of combat and honestly, I take the old version over this because I use and care about the out of combat situations more.

Was it really necessary to up the recast to 60 seconds? Mages have always had 30 seconds and it's not like it broke anything.

No it wasn't

Easy fix, change sprint back to how it was and drains your TP, make a new skill called "battle sprint" that does not use TP with the long cool down.

they changed it from a out of combat ability (for most) to something everyone can actually use in combat. If you want to get somewhere fast use your mount

and that is a fine point in terms of long distance travel. however, short distance perspective, once one thinks about how often they needed to go from point A to point B in the game, id rather just run short distances than awkwardly mount and dismount to the location i wanted to go.

i know at first sight it seems that a majority of us wants the old sprint system back, but i can tell you right now that this is not the case. you have no reason to defend what the developers have done.
