if I recall correctly, Anet made a pretty big change a while back that meant that swiftness and chill (or was it cripple?) no longer affected the distance of leaps. this was because they didn’t want movement buffs affecting the range of leap skills.

so how come they’ve not fixed this for quickness/slow?

currently, it seems that all leaps will travel at the same speed, but the duration is altered by these buffs. so a player with quickness will not leap as far as one without, as their leap is the same speed but for less time. slow is the opposite, increasing the length of leaps.

firstly, this is exactly what they said they didn’t want when they changed how swiftness/chill worked.

secondly, the effects here – even if intentional – are the opposite of what one might expect. surely a quick individual should move further, no?

so does anyone know if Arenanet is aware of this and/or has a fix in the works?
