Different classes have different run speed?

I've been trying to figure this out for a while now, I play a gladiator and I have several friends who play Galds as well, with 22% boots, and a 30% scroll my glad has 10.6 run speed. I tested this with 3 other gladiators last night and it was the same thing.

Now on my Assassin I have the same setup but I also have sprinting which gives me an extra 20% run speed, yet it only puts my speed up to 10.1%....

I would just like to know why Gladiators run faster than any other class? I played retail for almost a year so I know that this isnt right. Assassins and rangers should be able to out run every other class.

 

noticed this too, my ranger is kinda slow unbuffed while my temp is running the butts out of my screen lol

 

gladtemp runs faster then chanter,cleric, cleric,chanter run faster then ranger, sin, ranger,sin run faster then sm & sorc..
so its like
plate> chain > leather > cloth
you'd think the lighter or whatever, the faster you'd run

 

i've noticed that too with my temp i'm running like hell and with the ranger i'm running in slow motion..

 

yeah and it should not be like that, something has to be messed up with the class stats.

 

oh i see ,
i always thought it was my imagination that my templar run faster then my sorcerer^^

 

it's like that in retail..
i guess it's so the heavy armoured guys can run faster to get aggro or something...

 

It's definitely not like that in retail, every class has base 6.0 run speed in retail.

 

Hai, cutiepie, how's the rainbow fgt called your bf?


I also notice, plate run faster. o: 1.2 faster? Probably those oversized muscles you see everywhere. <.<

 

True Dementa, in Retail theres a Base Movement speed which can just be upped by buffs/armor stats. Actually my chanter runs like hell too but i dont see any change in using and no using the Celerity Mantra o.o

 

I like it because of classes like rangers can outrun the melee classes like glads or temps they would just be able to kite them all day long and the melee classes cant do crap about it. Besides the rangers have a dog form that gives them a pretty nice speed boost.

 

Dog Form? u wanna get smashed? its Mau Form gosh damnit >.<

 

He's talking about Worgs. >_>

 

Its not fair that Glads can catch up me squishy classes because that gives them a HUGE advantage, Scout classes are supposed to be able to get out of situations where they are face to face with another melee class and be able to outrun them. On this server that is not the case.

While I understand it is nice to be able to catch ranged classes as a gladiator it is quite unfair to every class but yours and temps. Every class on this server should have a base running speed that is the same as everyone else.

Also worg form is trash, you cant use skills and in retail it doesnt stack with a run scroll.

 

Im talking about the form that actually turns them into a dog. Not the bipedal mau but the dog that runs on all fours. They cant attack in that form, but they have increased running speed.

 

You're talking about Worg.

 

Yes but as I stated in my above post, the worg soul should not stack with a run scroll there fore making it useless compared to a run scroll.

 

Most rangers in worg form run just as fast if not faster than glads with speed scrolls do. Melee classes should be able to catch up to everyone else. How the hell are we supposed to be able to fight if we cant even get close to our targets without being kited. Besides rangers have quite a few skills like traps and shackle arrow that if used effectively can slow us down. Also you can be extremely cheap and use sleep arrow and run and hide and then u have no problem getting away.

 

exactly, I assume you've never played retail. I played a gladiator from launch of NA retail and I know how to fight other classes. Gladiators have many skills to close distances to targets, especially the ones on this server being given every skill and all. You really cant complain, the whole point in being a ranger is not to let a melee class get up to your face so they can just senselessly just beat on you. Now given your abnormal run speed this makes it quite hard.

I understand that getting slept and watching your opponent run away sucks but its happened to me on numerous occasions. But you have to get over it and realize they can only do it every 5 min.

Gladiators have enough cool downs to live through a rangers burst and enough skills to close the distance, there really is no room to complain about this. It seems to me that you just need to learn how to play with out that speed advantage.

 

glads have ankle snare, that can be easily countered by focus evasion, leap smash which is an advanced stigma and if u want it on retail you have to give up a shit ton of other skills worth having and instead go with a cpl useless crap skills to get the chain, tendon slice which is nice but most the of the ppl i use it on break out in a cpl seconds, and then theres charge which is a slight ten second speed increase with a frekkin 5 minute cool down,

ya real awesome set up to close in against classes that can kite, sleep, and stunlock u from a distance, dont get me wrong I know how to play my class and can pretty much face roll most rangers I come across except for the ones who are lucky enough to get off sleep shot and then run off like and hide like *****es before I get lockdown on them, and no I never played retail or else I wouldnt be here on a high rate server where I dont have to grind hours one end like in the countless of asian mmos

the melee classes need ways to get in and fight otherwise ill get go back to flight pvp where I can fly at max speed and know that no one can go faster than me without hacking

basically Im just kinda put off by ground pvp in that its fun, most of the times its running all over the map, and when you do get in a fight as soon as one side loses a few ppl they all bolt and u then u have to run across the entire map chasing them down
