    Sprint and Bolt

    I don't know why, but sometimes when i try to sprint during instances, it just doesn't activate and i often get hit because of it. That's not the case in PvP but isn't that since Bolt is an Ability right? could we have a ability like that which is only available in instanced areas or smth like that?

    I don't think I've personally had issues with sprint activating, that's odd.

    I've had this issue too, so maybe it's a problem with our short little Lala legs?

    Agree, I've never had issues activating Sprint instantly regardless of where I am.

    Do you have it on a macro, by chance? That could potentially be an issue.

    It's not that odd, Sprint is not a regular Ability (oGCD) and doesn't queue. Both sprint and potions have had this issue for years and I see no reason not to fix that and allow both to queue.

    Interestingly, putting Sprint on macro (/ac Sprint ...and repeat that for up to 15 lines) can increase its responsiveness.

    As an aside it is kind of odd they have to be a separate thing, Sprint and Bolt. Figure Sprint could be tweaked to work differently in the context of PvP, though maybe spaghetti code can't have General actions have a different cooldown/duration based on context?

    Try making a sprint macro and see if it works it goes something like this

    /merror off
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /ac "Sprint"
    /micon Sprint
