So some of you probably may not know. Swift trait is getting reduced by 4%.
Some people expect it to nearly completely disappear, others say it will still be used and abused. How do you feel about this change?
Please let your thoughts and opinions flow.

✭✭What? 4% is way too much. I mean like swift was only good for niche builds."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

If by niche you mean more than half of pvp, than yeah, totally niche.
I think they will still be used, but probably not quite as much. As long as there is a speed cap, you will have players ensuring they are at it. Right now it’s easy to go over while sprinting. As the tradoff will be steeper, my guess is people will do the math and use 1 one 2 to get close without going over, but 3 swift will be less common.2 -

✭If someone wants a speed build, they will have one regardless of the nerf to the swift jewelry trait. The biggest benefit the nerf will have is in its placebo effect on much of the community.
BTW- speed builds can be made without the swift jewelry trait (and without speed pots) ... been that way for years.Edited by Maryal on October 2, 2018 5:34AM1 -

Yeah I'd rather see buffs or some sort of reworked mechanics than nerfs.4 -

✭✭Still worth it, but only if you use 3 traits. Swift is still strong, it was OP before.Edited by MaxJrFTW on October 2, 2018 6:12AM"I don't know you, and I don't care to know you."

Nicko_Lps✭✭✭✭✭More speed nerf to the heavy armor that runs faster from bowmen in medium.
Run run run around rocks+towers, vigor vigor vigor, block block block, Rally+ Puncture+shieldbash+insertClassAbility+dawnbreaker.
THE HARD HEAVY ARMOR PRO WAY2 -
webrgesner✭✭✭✭i think they shouldve made it 7%
4% is too low and not worth over the other traits0 -
sekou_trayvond✭✭✭✭✭Well, at least Kevduit was able to get a chuckle worthy video up before the nerf. Swift thinking on his part.1 -
Waylander07✭✭✭✭Nerfs are only needed because they keep making things op. More thought needs to be done before introducing things into the game.1

✭They are buffing the Steed mundus, so I guess I am happy I won't have to transmute all of my Jailbreaker Jewelry. I still don't get how the speed cap works. With Orc, Windrunner, Major Expedition, Minor Expedition, 15% speed bonus from Fiord's Legacy and Steed mundus, would I even get faster if I used Swift Jewelry?
I am really glad they are buffing the Steed mundus, most of the time I didn't even bother changing the mundus.

That's mostly what I used speed buffs for too - resource farming.
I found it underwhelming in PvP to be honest. Not sure what all the fuss is about over that.
They need to either stop introducing things in the first place or lay off the nerfs. How they keep adding things then nerfing it is just going to *** off and annoy their players.Edited by Jeremy on October 2, 2018 7:50AM1 -

✭✭Annoyed. I don't use it in PvP but never had a problem with those that did, I could slow them down. Why not just put a Stamina use increase with Swift? Not a massive one but a fair one.Edited by D0PAMINE on October 2, 2018 8:40AM0 -
