    Is your Sprint ability broken or something?

    Tanks - "Don't run ahead of me!" USE SPRINT AND GO, THEN.

    Healers - "Don't run so far ahead!" USE SPRINT AND GO, THEN.

    DPS - "derpa derpa derpa, we'll dps when we eventually get there."

    I feel like the majority of players forget they have Sprint in dungeons. As a healer I hate watching tanks pull wall to wall but get their butts kicked from one end of the other because they didn't push the Sprint button, and as a tank I hate it because I sprint ahead and end up having to pop way more cooldowns because my group is still a hundred yalms away skipping through fields and picking flowers on their way to the next pack of enemies, and as DPS? OH MY GOSH EVERYONE IS SLOW HURRY UP JEEZ.

    Mini rant over?

    I'm more surprised how many people don't use sprint at all in battle for dodging AoEs more easily, or to get into place for mechanics. It might be due to how sprint used to use TP, though. Maybe some people still just feel an aversion to using it due to that.

    I use sprint all the time as a healer, but tanks still manage to run far off ahead of me and nearly get themselves killed.

    And running ahead of tanks has nothing to do with sprint, just don't run ahead of your tank, whether you or they are using sprint or not.

    My sprint always on a cd. Maybe make sprint have a lower cd to it might help some. If tank has there sprint up others might have there's still on cool down. Should ask and make sure everyone has sprint up before using sprint and doing a huge pull.

    Sprint might be on cooldown for them.

    Also if someone has activated sprint and taken off ahead of you, it is not possible to catch up to them until their sprint runs out - even if you sprint as well, you can only match their pace and stop the gap from getting any bigger.

    This too. I use it in battles all the time - I'm unlikely to have it available afterwards.

    Major rule of Tanking and DPSing, stay in range of your Healer. Also don't make assumptions about CD status....ever..FWIW I'm healer and nearly always Sprint, but don't expect that

    My husband uses Sprint in uptime. Everywhere. For no reason. I call him "the madness sprinter" since I saw that.

    I use it to dodge mech the most of the time or to catch up my party in dungeon if I'm late.

    Eh, it's not really a big deal. It's not like we're speed running that dungeon in a roulette and dungeons never take too long to clear. Nor does sprinting save all that much time off of your run.

    As a DNC I'll Pelaton, but ain't a bother if I'm not on DNC and people aren't sprinting to the next pull.


    In a roulette, it's exactly that. A roulette. You'll get a huge raaaaaaange of the types of people who join you. So whenever you're queuing, expect that it can go slower for a hundred or so different reasons.

    If it's a pre-formed group, your group your rules. I used to see speed run dungeons advertised in the party finder. I used to join them, because it's quick currency farming and they were great for it.

    Well I have over 300ms due to distance reasons and using skills makes me rubberband, causing me to get stuck in mechanics instead of getting away from them.
