Rapid Maneuver Nerf when on foot??

jhharvest · February 2016

Magicka Templars have now literally zero ways to escape. It was bad enough before with the gap closer root not being prevented by Retreating Maneuvers, but now you can't even heal yourself while you are tailing it. I guess you could vamp, but that's basically like saying you want to have a 50% chance of randomly dying at the beginning of every encounter.

Reduced the bonus movement speed from the Major Expedition buff category to 30% from 40%.

Increased the bonus movement speed from Sprint to 40% from 30%.

i can see the reasoning behind this. to buff sprinting and well fitted.

I was goofing around with this on the PTS. The shuffle, rm and sprint combo is going to be a lot less effective for players who rely on this to escape or move to favorable terrain. Combine this with the cloak, mage light, efficient purge and sneak stam drain with drinks changes and it is going to be A LOT more difficult to play solo. A LOT.

Major Expedition got the nerf so any skills granting it are of course effected. Sprint speed was increased to compensate.

Yea I understand what they did. It was so folks expending Stamina (sprinting) could catch up to someone who is regenerating stamina (Rapid Maneuver), but someone who is using both can still out run a person only using one or the other.

Edit, Side note: I wonder what effect this (not just speed swap but other changes as well) will have on the dynamics of a Scroll run?
