    you can add swift ontop of medium... its huge fun sprinting as fast as a horse, faster if you use rapids+fjord set

    I did the dessert dolmen to finish the evening yesterday. I just wanted to race the horses. Poor noobs had no chance. Fully leveled horses beat me. If I used rapid manuver, they had to as well.

    Medium + swift is clearly the new meta for thieving.

    More importantly than the non combat fun factor, mele dps needs the weapon damage from med. Swift comes in because it allows you to get distance from bosses asap when you need it. Then there's all these crazy moving red circles from the bosses in summerset. I'm dodging them without using stamina.

    Medium swift? You say "goodbye," and I say "hello!"

    swift kinda suck actually lol theres no point in running it when 1) theres a speed cap you already reach and 2) you would loose out on max stam and recovery

    if anything im looking into infused + recovery and even thats questionable because because stam doesnt regen while sprinting

    Why exactly would one want to be that fast and that durable. Both are defensive, and they don't pair well.

    Medium armor is fast and deadly, with increased weapon damage, weapon crit, sprint speed, reduced sprint cost. Seems like a much better option.

    Ah the good old "they did x, now it's useless" overreaction. Unless you want to hit like a wet noodle, medium armor is still the way to go. Not to mention coward's gear anyway.

    why would you bother with stamsorc when you have hurricane?

    Generally speaking, people are better off running 1 Bloodthirsty and two infused or triune.

    Or just full infused or full triune... like really...

    The only thing that trait is killing is peoples brain cells right now. Seriously.
    Ah, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right.

    Soooo the crit, sta recovery and weapon damage doesn't matter? O.o

    This must be some new super-kungfu meta gymnastics going on here if dps doesn't matter for doing dps.

    I have to say, it takes an impressive amount of drugs to get to that conclusion.

    You've got 5 agrees. What are you 6 doing to get to the speed cap? What is the exact speed cap? Medium on it's own isn't the speed cap. If it were, fijords, jailbreaker and rapid maneuver wouldn't do anything. But they do. What's your speed cap method?

    Medium armor passives are still desirable in many situations, especially no CP.

    Swift = build diversity which is always good. I just wish they would get rid of the medium armor sneak passives. Now that would be something!

    It really is. im loving thieving in the summerset update thanks to the swift trait. im able to make 1k gold per minute with my build maxing out about 25k in 25 minutes with zero risk and super fast paced fun game play.

    The first thing I thought when I read about swift trait is how it would work with sets like "Night's Silence" or "Shadow Dancer".
    Both sets have a 5 pcs bonus:
    "Ignore movement speed penalty while sneaking"

    And then I realized that it would allow you to move with almost exact same speed as if you are sprinting... but in stealth. Have not tested it myself yet - but it seems to be a good "anti - ganker" solution in Cyrodiil. :D
