    What's the point of Peloton now?

    You get Jog after finishing a Sprint. It goes at the exact same speed, and like all speed buffs, the game only chooses the fastest active, so they do not stack in effect.

    Perhaps it is time to rethink what this ability does? It's never been more than a gimmick... But now it's a useless gimmick.

    I would like to see it be usable in combat, but they'd have to make it like 3 seconds to balance it, so it's probably better to just get rid of it.

    I rather have them remove peloton completely than them making it usable in combat. This is smth that should stay unique on scholar imo.

    I partially agree. "SwiftSong," the predecessor to Peloton, has traditionally been a Bard-specific utility. I think it's fine to return it to Bard, but it shouldn't be given to every Physical Ranged job.

    Peloton for combat would be great, i mean.. Scholar already has something similar, so why not.

    Filler for Sprint cooldown in dungeons I guess. Other than that...shiny green button on the hotbar so that phys ranged can feel at least *somewhat* useful.

    You open the door theres nothing in sight. You close the door wondering whats in sight. But lets be honest its probably gonna just let you down.

    Fair but pointless during instanced content. ;D Tho it'd be a fun addition to have a bard band performing a raidboss into the ground. Actually the thought of it is pretty funny, thank you ^-^

    They just don't care for physical range. That's how I feel about it. Peloton has no sense anymore. And physical range will still perfom bad in dps in 90%+ of all content, compared to melee or casters.
