    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 was jogging earlier and wondering what the point of it is now as well. The answer I came up with is "it's to carry people who don't know what Sprint is and help them travel faster through the dungeon".

    The new Jog effect only works in safe spots like cities and towns with aetherytes. It doesn't work in instances, field zones, etc.

    Works in Dungeons, did try it earlier. Just fire up an unsync one, pop sprint, wait for it to run out and see Jog appear if you want to check for yourself.


    Edit: Grabbed a screenie real quick from a trust dungeon.

    I do feel peloton should stack with Jog

    It should stack, but as with most things, SE didn't think about it. I guess you can force it onto other people, like how Expedient on SCH can force everyone to sprint
