Potion Speed 4 please - Phoenix Freeshard

We need a potion speed. I'm tried of playing a stealther to always solo. Sure I could run around on lets say on my Hero. Get in one fight and then have no speed at all and I might as well be dead (I want to die at that point also). I don't want to play a stealther and I'm sure there has to be others like me out there.

Potion speed 4 will not break any part of the game. I will only open up a new life to people that would like to solo more. If I group still wants to kill me they can still chase me down. This only gives me a little more chance after the first encounter to not to just be waiting to die.

Just curious if anyone else would like to see these added to the game. I appreciate the Devs trying new things and trying to improve classes. On the other hand if you are going to change a class because "Albs don't have a warden class" then you need to look at wardens also. The game was made so realms did not have mirror classes. If you are going to use that line then the buff needs to include both realms. Or just give all speed classes speed 5 so not every group is stuck with a bard/minstrel/skald.

Instead of more people having access to speed buffs maybe the solution should be reverse- Maybe nobody should have speed and remove it from the game. Then solo players have a legit chance to avoid getting run down... but that’s wishful thinking!

Mid and Alb seem to have plenty of speed, Hib, not so much. Sometimes there are twice as many Skalds on as Bards. Come to think of it, I don’t remember the last time I ran Speed 5 or 6. 😮

thats because battlebard sucks vs anything what isnt a caster or an xper, also bards usually are expected to drive and need to be somewhat decent most people just wanna stun and gun and not play rupt/cc and not get deathblows

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I like the idea of moving around the map between fights easier as a solo sneak. On the other hand, I hate how in the current game I can pop a target only to have a dozen people on me from clip range in a matter of seconds because everyone has speed. Even hastener speed dramatically reduces my available window to drop someone before they can get help

you have a speed, you can have a permanent sprint, if you want speed play chars that got speed - ranger, ministrel and hunter seem to have speed.
Nobody forces you to play infi, nightshade or shadowblade.
Realm hastner around controlled castles and relic keeps.
Most other classes are meant to be played in group and not solo.

No speed potions, i could imagine the devs could add a charge item with speed2 for 30 seconds out of combat or something like that but nothing more ..
But hey wait, then ppl will complain that item is on the same timer like my Q/D or Str/con or spec AF buff ...

You know what ? you cant have everything.. and if you add something ppl will allways compain its not enough for theire satisfaction.

If you give a poor starving guy rice for food, he will start complaing after a few weeks/monts, that he wants vegetables to his rice, after a few weeks/monts later he wants meat to the vegetables and rice and so one.. its nothing knew in the society.

Comparing the buff BS and no speed items to a starving person is pretty spot on. Why change it when players naturally stave off from dealing with the micro-managing BS that level 50 offers...?

The staff is kidding themselves if they think recreating the Uthgard solo/small setting will yield anything but the Uthgard solo/small scene down the road...as in...non-existent.

Would kill stealther play.

Stealth play is already hurting with the amount of people in one area. it is hard to kill one player without having to use vanish at the end before a group rolls up on you. I believe if you add speed in this way it will send people further out than their gates. Which would let you have a better chance to kill something without getting added on. This is just my Opinion of what it could do, but it in fact could run the other direction for sure. Just wanted to see what other people thought of the idea.
