I feel it would be interesting to have, say, a Skyrim sort of sprinting in GW2 where for short periods of time, without a speed boon, you can run across distances.

You would only be able to sprint for a short while before you run out of “stamina”, and you would be tired afterwards for a short while, making you a little weaker or slower moving in exchange.

Just a thought that came to mind. Opinions, anyone?

Use the endurance bar for sprinting and for dodging. one uses it during combat and the other outside of combat.

though i’d say make sprinting unavailable in combat, so that even if you are in the middle of sprinting with a full endurance bar, you’d stop sprinting as soon as you enter combat.

That would be a good idea. Change colors of the bar in and out of combat, too.

If sprinting isn’t available to use to get away from enemies,
I don’t really see any reason to have it at all, since that would
have been a good time to use sprint, especially if you find yourself
starting to get run down by 10+ enemies.

That’s why you have dodge and defense

Actually they’ve removed the capability for that entirely, because your inherent combat speed is slower than your out of combat speed so that you dont just wade into a mob of enemies and then walk away scar free. It’s a brilliant system in my opinion.

and sprinting should be only out of combat, in combat you have swiftness for that.

Why would you need to sprint out of combat. From any point in the game, go to heart of the mists, go to lions arch, go to nearest city, waypoint.

11 seconds, longer with bad loading screens, to travel from any point in the game, to any other point in the game for less than 3 silver.

Unless you want to burst across short distances, and well... you can already do that.

yeah, through the use of skills. Sprinting would be great, especially for people who still need to cover the map, since you wont have all the waypoints.
