Give TP classes an MP Sprint

[Brynmor]

I would like a Sprint that I can use as DRG that doesn't cripple my ability to do damage long-term (Invigorate can only do so much). On the flip-side, I really enjoy being able to Sprint on my SMN without being penalized in any way. An MP-dump Sprint on my DRG would be really nice to have.

Maybe if, as a melee class, I had an innately faster runspeed than ranged classes (as they do in many other MMOs) I wouldn't feel lacking for a Sprint. As things are though on certain encounters MP based classes who can Sprint freely have an advantage over TP classes when dealing with boss mechanics.

Edit: misread.

I think if anything, no one should have a TP/MP drain. It's pointless.

A blanket 1m CD Sprint for all classes that uses no resources would work, too.

Probably the best idea. Not necessarily 1 minute CD (it can be 20-30 seconds) though.

Ya really could just become a skill, but the reason sprint is TP is because mages have cast times, which put them in attack areas and this gives the option to stop and bail or finish and maybe escape, but with the server latency issue it is almost pointless to do it at all.

My issue with sprint is this: If it allowed in pvp in its current state is will be COMPLETELY broken.

Allowing MP users to sprint at will will trivialize TP using melee classes.

Just do not allow mages to use tp in PvP only, or half the tp pool so it is not as long and still has the cooldown which also could be increased. Really hard to judge PvP if a huge population has yet to actually test it.

I didn't? Read my post again maybe lol, you seem to have the wrong idea.

its unfair for meele classes to have their tp dump while sprint on the other hand caster dont mind dumping tp because they dont use it so its only fair to remove the Resource Dump at all. Dumping Mp as a bard would be problematic what if you want to sprint and use mages ballad to help tank and healer?. this method of dumping a resource to use a useful too like sprint its outdated and counterproductive

One of these casters can die by one single ability that for you should mean half of your life, so is okay that they can use sprint

Thats not true. Casters have a significantly higher magic defense, so they take much less damage from most AOEs in this game.

Yeah sure, because you don't have more defense or more life.... Whm op he didn't die with the aoe he still having 200 life point please Nerf it
