a rework on speedy kits
So I had this idea to make the trait “speedy kits” from “tools” traitline abit more cool. My idea is that instead of giving a 5sec swiftness boon on equiping a kit you get a permanent 25% run speed while running a kit.
This might screw up some builds running “invigorating speed” from alchemy but what about also reworking that trait so when your in a kit you get a 50% permanent endurance regen and remove that trait from tools.this would make it more worthwhile having kits equiped and it would also make engineers not look dumb having kits popping up on their back every 5 sec when they are running around.
Thoughts on this?
Thanks
Sort of already have a trait like that.
Master Trait, Leg Mods, Move 10% faster while using an unarmed kit.
Would be nice if they increase that to 25% though.
But if they did change the speedy kits to have the 25% speed and 50% permanent endurance; as well as, getting rid of the Leg Mods and Adrenal Implant traits, and replacing them with something else. That is if they added two new interesting and useful traits. That would make me happy, others wouldnt like this due to the nice synergy with invigorating speed that is currently has.

Less skill & less benefit.
I would dislike this.

the problem is that swiftness does not stack with +speed buffs like Power Shoes or Leg Mods.

You kittens don’t even know what the prefix “meta” means.
I understand non-kit engineers don’t have this, but aside that I really think this trait is fine.
Heck, it’s one of the traits I would never bother changing. There are far more important changes to be made.
And ruining the synergy with invigorating speed, is actually rather harsh on the builds using that.
That’s one fine combo down the drain if you change it.
Engineer traits need work, yes.
But not this one.
Not worth the trouble for the small benefit it could bring, use the developping time elsewhere…
Speedy Kits isn’t broken, don’t fix it.
What you’re really asking for is an upgrade to Leg Mods: faster base speed and apply to all kits. Applying Leg Mods to all kits would make it more popular (it’s pretty much ignored atm); the higher base speed would probably be excessive.
