Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

[Dzian]

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

It really wasn't at all. My paladin and my ninja would quite frequently make use of sprint. Sprint behind zurvan after the broken seal sprint to the big donuts to evade proper wind sprint like to the gnosis head in Sophia cos I'm way over there.

It really wasn't that bad at all. Nothing a quick invigorate wouldn't solve...

Casters needed it more. Because they're locked in position. Melee can smack that last hit of combo while already moving out of that air. Casters either cast or dodge can't do both.

Hooray, it's useful now!


...I preferred the 30 second cooldown though.

Either reduce the cool down to 45s, or increase duration to 30s, it's that simple

It is a buff, since my tank couldn't really use it at all before now. Running out of TP is something you do not want your PLD to do.

I wish they would of not doubled the cool down from 30s to 60s but I am getting used to this de-expansion since there are nerfs to everything.

My friend and I level as a PLD/WHM combo and while they are ecstatic about the change seeing as previously Sprint was mostly a button they accidentally pressed at inopportune moments, as a WHM it feels like a nerf. It gave a lot of flexibility to casters during dodge heavy mechanics that would otherwise have severely limited their up time due to our inability to cast and move at the same time and as a healer in general, it meant I could sometimes manage to get off one more heal before I had to book it. That could be the difference between life and death in some situations. I have no issue with them making the ability accessible to TP users but its rather irritating that the classes that really needed it the most have to suffer for it.

its a great buff within combat for TP users, but to everything else (including short-distance travel and mount restricted areas), it's a nerf.

Complaints complaints complaints thats all I see lately, I'm glad for the new change as now Tanks and melee can now use the sprint and to be honest if you were meant to be able to sprint constantly the Dev's would have baked the skill into the character, If it was me I'd have removed it because you're all acting like spoilt children lately.
