DEV Request: Can we have sprint back in PVP?

[AzraelX]

I love how fast paced the combat now is in PVP, but I don't know why we lost sprint. Without sprint, it feels sluggish and doesn't sync up well with the combat changes. Bolt is not a good substitute in my opinion.

Not sure what needs to be done to healers b/c as playing as AST I felt weak and can only debuff/ single target heal mostly b/c my one dps skill is weak as hell. I feel AST needs an AOE heal and possible damage boast.

[Guesswhat]

rip anyone not choosing bolt as 2nd skill. Idk why SE made it this way. Why would you not chose sprint? They even had to nerf it in order to make it less appealing...

This is perhaps one of the two biggest bits of feedback I have in regards to the PvP changes. Make sprint a native ability again, and allow us to retain 2 free slots for other skills. Our ability to evade, escape, or simply keep up with even our own team should never be something optional. Not when it's so necessary.

[Innes]

Agreed. Add sprint, and any other cc evade skills. FL has turned to mob tactic rush, if you don't have sprint you are KO'd too easily. Feast is instant KO with out evade kills.

[Synestra]

Stuff like sprint and purify should be baseline skills tbh.

Part of me wants to agree, but the melee part of me really doesn't. One of the least fun parts of the previous PvP mode was the fact that everyone could sprint, and melee are completely gimped when people are sprinting from them. Even if you sprint as well, due to net code and latency issues it becomes much much harder to net a kill during sprint cycles. Now with Weapon throw gone, it would be even worse.

at least increase the cooldown the sprint so ur not chasing as much.

It's already a 45 second cooldown. It used to be 30.

[RedHerb]

I say no. If you want sprint, grab bolt. If you don't feel you need it, don't grab it. Everyone having it sort of defeats the purpose of the system they've set up.

[Serilda]

I tried going into FL without Bolt since I figured not everyone would have it with so many other important things in the additional actions pool. Hah. I switched it on right after my first death and I'm keeping it from now on. It's just way too important to be able to drop it.
