Guild Wars 2

dear fellow warriors,

the proposed new warriors sprint
“Run 25% faster wielding melee weapons. Movement skills break immobilize.”
does seems quite good, well, at least, better than what we have now.
but … what if, it could be better?

what if,
Warriors Sprint
“Run 25% faster wielding melee weapons. Run 50% faster wielding melee weapons while nearby foes. Movement skills break immobilize.”
Radius: 600

if too powerful, what about?

Warriors Sprint
“Run 50% faster wielding melee weapons while nearby foes. Movement skills break immobilize.”
Radius: 600

too weak?
then … ?

Warriors Sprint
“Run 100% faster wielding melee weapons while running toward foes. Movement skills break immobilize.”
Radius: 1500

discuss!

Too OP and will enforce Discipline line upon warriors even more.

They just need to undo the merge with Mobile Strikes then make Warrior’s Sprint baseline.

I knew it this would happen lol…
Another endless buffing of Warrior~ Yeah!
As if Warrior is in a bad place, so bad that all game modes need it so bad.

Really hope other profession’s forum have these persistent people who’ll keep on asking for buff buff buff buff buff buff despite they’re already in top top top top status, so Anet may actually pretend to care.

I dont agree with that change.
With the upcoming changes to leaps it would be OP.

The new warrior’s sprint will be great as is..

As if Mr. Ranger here and the other trolls needed more food… please..

I think it’s a bit too much. Agree with Cygnus on this one.

Way too powerful and completely unnecessary. There’s no case for buffing warrior mobility.

I’m also with Cygnus in that Warrior Sprint is fine as proposed in the upcoming changes.

thanks for the feedback, everyone.

but, honestly, did everyone of you even read what i wrote in detail?
or ya all just saw the title and react to that only?

i dun see anyone quoting what i wrote in reply.

for example, the last example,

Warriors Sprint
“Run 100% faster wielding melee weapons while running toward foes. Movement skills break immobilize.”
Radius: 1500

would meant that the warrior loses the constant 25% movement speed, and only gains 100% movement speed when running toward foes from 1500 distance onwards.

if the warrior attempts to run away, he loses the 100% movement speed.

this is overpowered?

Yes it is. I don’t think you realise how fast that is.
It will be impossible to kite a warrior and he will avoid every skill that isn’t instant by running through you.
Also, you didn’t provide any reason why the trait should be changed at all.

There is this, and also, I want the constant 25% thank you. QoL matters to me.

aye, thanks Ozzrel and Cygnus for the second feedback!

hmmm yeah Ozzrel, you are right.
well, being a warrior player myself, i am only used to 25% or 33% increased movement speed increase, i think thieves can have 50% movement speed while in stealth but i dun play thief often so i dunno how 50% feels like.

well i guess this topic has served its purpose and ran its course.
thanks everyone for participating!

by the way, Ozzrel, my reason would be “but … what if, it could be better?” which is not really a good reason anyway.

Target anything at 1500 range ( be it a player or a moa or a door), use your 100% movement speed to flee faster than anything, win?

Movement speed in gw2 is capped at 133% ooc as far as I know. You only gain the whole benefit of those 50-100% speed buffs during combat, since the base movement speed is reduced and the buff doesn’t hit speed limit then.

A 50% speed buff in combat feels like a “normal” speed buff at ooc basespeed, and it’s still capped at 133% when used for regular ooc movement (125% for in-fight).

Is there some meta that Warrior currently is not in that this would help them get into? No.

Would this help improve Warrior build diversity? No.

So what is the point?

dafaq 25% movement speed is so much and you even get a break on immobilize with a movement skill, so you’ll pretty much never have a problem with immobilizes. how is this not enough lol

even if it isn’t overpowered the reality of it is that it’s very difficult to code this. What if there are many foes? Where do you set the range that defines a “foe present” in a certain direction.

It’s a difficult thing to create and put in practice.
