Arcanist Speed Bug

atl8691

My Arcanist Orc character is slow compared to all other charcters on my account. I have the same max CP and max mount speed on all of my characters. This is very evident in PvP when riding from keeep to keep and other players also ride pass you making you last. I don't think this an Add-on issue. Anyone else have this issue? or Did I pick the wrong (bugged) race and class Arcanist combo.

Do you have the passive called Continuous Attack from the Alliance War Assault skill line slotted on your other characters but not on the Arcanist? That would be my first guess since you didn't mention it.

Alliance War >> Assault >> Continuous Attack:

Increases your Weapon and Spell Damage by 10% and Magicka and Stamina Recovery by 20% for 10 minutes after you capture a Lumber Mill, Farm, Mine, or Keep. Gain Major Gallop at all times, increasing your Mount Speed by 30%.

That +30% mount speed from Major Gallop makes a big difference.

I play PvP very often so I definitily use continuous attack for the damage buff. CP points in steed's blessing and Celerity. My sprint speed is 152%, which is also bugged.

@ZOS_Kevin any suggestions? In no cp cyrodiil, my character mount speed is at 60 but I am moving like mount speed is at 5.

Steed’s Blessing and Celerity are footspeed bonuses, independent of Major Gallop (a mounted speed bonus).

Movement (i.e. footspeed) speed buffs are not all reflected in your sprint speed, since they affect more than just sprint speed. It is one of the many ways in which the Advanced Stats panel is nonfunctional and/or misleading.

If you are on PC, you can use an add-on to track your actual movement, sprint, and mounted speeds.

Thanks for the add-on advice. I don't want to delete this fully leveled character for a fix. Here is my charcter sprint speed cap 152. It's doesn't even go above that or below. Stuck.

When i give an arcanist friend a ride on my multi rider mount the legs of my poor barby horse move faster than the needle of a sewing machine. Riding speed is normal, but the horse looks like it's on speed, while the arcanist passenger is floating in the air behind me like Trinity in the Matrix movies. I am not sure if this has anything to do with your problems, but the new class seems to be a little buggy. Who would have thought...

No CP PVP instances means that the speed buffs for mounts and on foot that you get from CP nodes in the red and green tree are not being applied. The system is working as intended. Queue for CP Cyrodiil and you’re speed should be normal

Fwiw my oldest character seems to have a slower mount than my other toons too. Gifted Rider is in place. It also seems to make kind of not much of a difference if I sprint or not. Can't remember when it started but way before the last update. Can't tell if it also effects non-mounted speed.

If you remove (or add) the Hasty red CP, or add/remove medium armor (provided you have the passive to increase sprint speed), which only affect sprint, do you see it move? If so, then it should be properly calculating certain sources, but I still find it problematic it won’t add sources like Ring of the Wild Hunt.

I ask because 152% is not the default sprint speed, so something is being recognized there.

Here is my charatcer movement speed of 140 without Armor, No CP points, No attributes, and No skill points applied.

With Orc Sprint Passive (10%), Hasty CP (4%), and three purple swifts jewels (18%) If my math is correct. should be sprint 172%.
