I've been working on a quick character to do farming with and my only goal for the build was to meed the movement cap in and out of combat. I have two characters to test movement speed efficiancy: 1) Stamina Nightblade Khajiit (on foot) and 2) Magika Templar (mounted).

Both characters are using rapid maneuvers as their source of Major Expedition (and Major Gallop).

The stamina Nightblade is using 5 piece Jailbreakers(+10%), the Steed Mundus stone+3pc divines (+11.95%), and the Ring of the Wild Hunt (+45%+7% swift). I also have windrunning (+2%), Concealled Weapon (+25% in sneak), and am a vampire (dark stalker 2/2). By my math, this should put me at 219% movement speed.

When I test my movement speed on both characters (fully buffed) my Khajiit is only able to hit ~50% the movement cap (32km/h) while my mounted templar (fully levelled mount) can hit over 75% the movement cap (49km/h). I am using Racing Panel to test movement speed and compare the characters.

What I've discovered is that when I am at full speed in sneak on my Khajiit rapid maneuvers does not incease my movement speed. I tested without other buffs and simply sneaking and the major expedition DOES affect me while sneaking, however I appear to have hit a movement cap while on foot that my mounted templar is not affected by.

Can anyone explain to me why my Khajiit is capped at a lower movement speed than mounted characters are?
