Does anyone morph Rapid Maneuver?

Dragonnord · September 2016

Does anyone use Rapid Maneuver morphs?

Charging Maneuver: Increases your movement speed by 10% for 8 seconds.

Retreating Maneuver: Removes all snares and immobilizations applied to your and your group.

I feel like we could have better morphs here.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I use Retreating Maneuver myself.

Wollust · September 2016

Retreating maneuver is one of the most important abilities in PvP.

Eiagra · September 2016

I also use Retreating Maneuver. Since it's almost always on my alt-bar for general use (I'll swap out if I'm in a specialized scenario), it's handy for shrugging off those random snares that annoy me.

Solariken · September 2016

Nope, I mostly run solo so it just goes on my bar for long horse rides.

WuffyCerulei · September 2016

Retreating Manuever is good anywhere. Say you run through some mobs and get snared. It'll come in handy then.

mb10 · September 2016

Nope only swap it onto my bar when ive just respawned at a keep to get to the next location quicker then it gets taken back off.

Same here.

I have several other skills and morphs, at much less stamina cost, for speed and snare (etc.) removal.

Yes retreating is very good with all the snares and roots in this game .

@Rohamad_Ali, question to better understand; you spend almost 5k stamina (using Retreating Maneuver) to remove snares when you have several other options at much, much less stamina cost?

FriedEggSandwich · September 2016

Morphed to retreating and keep it on my overload bar mainly for mount rides, it helps if you accidentally agro some wolves cos they snare your mount. It can also come in useful in group situations to remove snares but it eats about 2/3 of my stam bar so I only do this if not directly taking agro.

Sometimes I hate myself for ever slotting Rapid to begin with, then I hate myself even more for morphing it to Retreating Maneuvers. Retreating is on each and every character I play, only being removed if the situation requires it to be and even then I hesitate to remove it. It has been the source of many headaches, especially when I accidentally attack innocents because I'm on the wrong weapon... but I hate playing without it.

This...

Became this...

As a Majika nightblade , I do not have a lot of options . Vampire mist form is broken and still gets snared . Cloak doesn't always purge snares .

UltimaJoe777 · September 2016

I used to run Charging Maneuver, then I decided on Retreating. Anyone who uses this skill reliably absolutely NEEDS to morph it! Also using one more skill point isn't gonna kill ya lol

psychotic13 · September 2016

I don't ever have space for it on my bar, I only use it on my sorc on the overload bar.

JamieAubrey · September 2016

I'm mostly magicka so I don't have this skill :P

I've played every class in the game . For removing snares efficient purge , forward momentum are fine for stamina anything to remove snares . Sorc has a teleport so snares don't really hold them back as badly . Templars have a cleanse . Only Majika DK would be stuck in the same boat as Magblades . When you are are finished having a good giggle , let me know what I missed as a good snare removal option to get away .

Yes.

On my PvP/Dungeon/Trial main, i have all possible skill morphs leveled (Respeced and then leveled the 2nd morph).
That way i can respec that character to any role i want.

Alucardo · September 2016

I just scream profanities at my horse until it goes faster. Works 9 out of 10 times.

It's broke and still can be snared . Needs fixing still .

Pepper8Jack · September 2016

I use retreating manuevers for quite a bit of things. I even slot it on my mSorc if the group is struggling to get through the maze in vet Cradle of Shadows. Saves a lot of stam for whoever is running with me

Kammakazi · September 2016

You should.

The unmorphed version gives what, 20 seconds at rank IV?

Morphed version at rank IV is 33 seconds.

Unmorphed gives 30 seconds, not much of a difference with morphed.

The-Baconator · September 2016

Its for group play or travelling. For organized groups its probably the most important ability in the game (retreating).

I recommend setting up your other bars so they have some kind of non-damaging attack in the slot Rapids is in. F.ex: Retreating Maneuver is in slot #3 on my Resto bar, and my Sorceress has Hardened Ward in slot #3 on the other bar. This way if I hit that button on the wrong bar by mistake, at worst I have to switch bars and get back on my horse. No accidental assault or murders to worry about. I also try to have a similar setup for all bars across all characters, EX: Slot 1 and 2 are some kind of damaging move, slot 3 is a heal or frequently-activated buff, slot 4-5 contains toggles or less commonly used buffs.

I use Retreating Maneuver. I run with guildees most of the time so I use it for group utility. It costs a bit more stamina than Shuffle but allows my group to get the benefits of it and frees up a slot on their bar for another skill.

Morgul667 · May 2017

Retreating maneuver, removes snares and imo

Asardes · May 2017

I use retreating on all my characters who went to Cyrodiil (the first 4). It's not permanently on my bar but I use it when I need to ride faster in both PvE and PvP as well as a few special situations:
- vCoS maze to run faster and remove the snares from the NB adds in the maze
- vICP boss fights to give the group a boost and allow them to get to the portals faster
- vCoH2 to remove the snares from the ghost ice attacks and escape boss AoE
- vAA in the maze at the start to cleanse the snares from the ice vortexes
- vHRC from the start of the trial to the stairs to cut the timer a bit
The snare removal makes this morph a clear winer. I don't see the other used much.

SHADOW2KK · May 2017

I use Retreating Maneouvre with my guild in PvP raids.
