Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

[Annah]

I don't care about lack of a tp cost now. I just want the old sprint back..

That pretty much described the state of affairs today. Meh, who cares that sprint affected all the melee DPS...now I'm angry because now it touches my heart

I miss you dearly old friend..

Oh I agree completely! Except this is not a new thing...for casters. Why did everyone have to suffer just so melee can have a no TP sprint? That is the only thing that should have been changed...sprint no longer costs TP *the end*

In the old system, even mages had to wait 51 seconds to get all their TP back in combat (60/tick) and thus get the full 20 seconds of sprint. Simply removing the TP requirement is a big advantage, even for them. That said, 51 is still less than 60, and plenty of mechanics in this game work differently in and out of combat, so I don't see why sprint recast shouldn't be one of them.

Why couldn't they have just kept the original "cooldown" (roughly the amount of time it took to regen TP to use it again)?

my guess is that they felt that there needed to be compensation. not just for sprint no longer costing TP, but for the new mount speed and how specifically TP users could utilize it more often.

however, i believe they were focusing too much on one factor (TP users) and did not keep an open mind.

Of course a caster wouldn't understand >_>

SE seems to have this idea that to fix a problem for one group they have to break things for another. There is no reason to have to treat classes the same. SE could have kept Sprint based on TP and shorter CD for casters while eliminating the dependency on TP and long CD for melee or better yet give the player a choice via the actions.

Poorly thought out, considering they didn't think MP-users needed compensation in the previous iteration. >_<

[Freyar]

Considering it ate all the TP? No.. this change is much better. Sorry, even as a WHM main this is a better option.

The sprint change is fine. I am glad for the change because now Melee/Tanks can sprint. The only change I would say is increase how long you sprint when in town and that's it. Everyone is able to sprint I really don't see what the problem here is.

I love the new sprint change! It's finally useful for all jobs during raids.
