Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

[ErikMynhier]

and that is a fine point in terms of long distance travel. however, 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.

Liking the change is a pretty good reason I would say.

i just realized how bad it must be for new players with the new CD increase.

especially since they will not have mounts until level 20...

it does not mean that others can just deal with it. people are already speaking their mind.

Hey I didn't say "you have no reason to defend what the developers have done" in regards to someone else's opinion. That was all you. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, I was just defending the other guy's right to think different from you.

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

Mounts don't work everywhere such as cities. Not cities all have internal porting ability nor are the terminals always convenient.

As an DRK its the least of my concern its a buff to tp users and a nerf to non tp users that's all. As player tho they have robbed all my classes of there former identity or just outright made them useless :/

What I find even dumber is that normal sprint doesn't exist in PVP. You have to waste an ability slot to have it. smh

to all mage only players Try being Dow and having Sprint Trust me its hell i love the change and i am Dom and Dow

To all DoW players. Try being DoL and having to wait 60 seconds to sprint between nodes. Or worse, have it be on cooldown when you accidently agro a mob.

This 60 second CD should only apply while in combat, and not at all for gatherers.

i agree

to add, this is of no benefit to non-TP users in any way, shape, or form.

to explain in detail, casters and healers never used TP anyway, so why should the cost TP matter exclusively for sprint to them? now, sprint is on a 60s CD and still allows the player to only sprint for 20s.

in conclusion, healer and caster mobility was nerfed to the ground, while TP-based melee and ranged attacks were buffed.

im requesting that the devs keep the CD as it is now, but allow us to sprint for at least 40-30s. that sounds more fair.
