Sprint: The nerf nobody wanted

[Kit-Kat]

The sprint cooldown is there to balance fights now that everyone can use it, or dodging would be too easy constantly. If it's a problem for gathering classes, instead of a different sprint, I would suggest a speed buff granted after "killing" the node (so you can't abuse it by leaving the node) for some seconds to help players move from node to node without adding new abilities and making it more interactive with gathering itself.

Or a buff if the next node is 70 or more yalms away

It wasn't a problem when casters could use it regularly. Why now? Even then, I very rarely had to make use of sprint to avoid AoEs unless I did a really bad thing.

Casters are ranged, so they're not in the area of nearly as many AoEs as melee fighters are. Plus they already have another reason to not be sprinting constantly—cast bars. So a free Sprint skill is a lot more powerful for melee DoW. That had to be balanced with the longer cooldown to avoid being OP.

I honestly disagree it would be OP. Telegraphs are easily avoidable without ever using sprint.

I always thought if sprint consumed all TP for DoW jobs, then it should've consumed all MP for DoM jobs; at least everyone gets free sprint now.

But TP regens faster than mana....... Can't tell if serious or not LOL

I like the new Sprint. I no longer need to be on DRK for speed runs in Gubal Hard

My question is, why are DPS players not using it?

mostly because some DPS already have convenient abilities that allow them to close gaps between them and their targets.

Everyone who likes it are melees talking about in combat and everyone who hates it are not talking about combat and hate the cooldown time. I hate it because I'm just trying to run from quest to quest in cities and it's taking forever when it used to be much faster since I could sprint more often. We can all agree it's cool that melees can sprint in combat now but just make it the old timer when out of combat
