I keep sprint on in case I am called upon to run like a Vindaloo, but I had an Idea for an alteration.

Sprint as we warriors all know makes us run 25% faster for a certain duration of time. Only the time is variable.

I suggest that Sprint reflect it's name cos 25% is a jog at least 50 or 70% max now were talking

50 or 70% is much more suitable then duration is also variable 9-12 seconds as it is now.

Could you imagine those are breakneak speeds thats a sprint.

Chime in I want NCS to hear about this.

If your going to run that fast then I want 120% percent to boost my illusion of haste.

yeah but then your cripple effect would have to last longer lol

Well, think about it. Normally you are running, right? There's no way to just walk (unless you have a speed reducing spell on) so you're running all the time. Then Sprint makes sense, cause a real sprint is about 25% faster than running

If your "Sprint" gave you more than 25% boost to your normal running, it would be veritably uncontrollable. You would probably be ricochetting off the landscape like a wild shot bullet.

I don't think I would like that, unless you had a really straight shot at something to get to.

why should we stop at 120% why dont we go up the 100000%...the point is Anet wanted it to be a reasonable and easy-to-manage number...and i think 25% or 33 % meets both criteria

why i dont think they will change it from 25% because they are trying to stay away from D2: LOD which they also developed then left bliz, a lot of skills are similar to LOD skills but there arent any over powering skills like LOD

Unless there is a cap to running speed, warriors can already run the fastest of any profession. "Charge!" + Sprint works wonders, and (granted I haven't tested this out yet) if you add something like Illusion of Haste or (better) Windborn Speed.... that would be like the wind indeed.

I know they didn't cap speed increases at 25%, but I'm not sure if it goes past 50%, having only "Charge!" and Sprint myself. You are still quite speedy using those together though. For those not versed on skill descriptions, "Charge!" and Sprint stack because "Charge!" is a shout and Sprint is a stance. Both Windborne Speed and Illusion of Haste are enchantment spells, so they would also stack with Sprint/Charge!/Rush/Battle Rage/Bull's Charge (all of which are warrior skills, though you could only equip 3 of these at the same time).

While other classes have speed-boosting skills, warriors have them in spades.

Does Charge! and Sprint stack? Can you start Sprint on yourself as a Warrior, then use your ranger 2ndary speed boost to stack on top of it?

Charge! is a shout and Sprint is a stance, that's the reason why they stack. The ranger speed boosts are stances, right? So then it wouldn't work as you can only use one stance at a time.
