thats why casters got puri on r9rr weps and clerics have gaurdian light....there are pots to boost speed+archer buff+holypath.
Edit: some gear add speed too

And I would give all that noise up if my toon was able to walk normally. If I didn't have to always be the last toon on scene. If I didn't have to listen to melee ***** about waiting for the cleric as If I was dragging my feet just to annoy them. Heaven help me if one of the stupid losers from the punch and judy set get's his silly self killed because the limitation to my movements is a fact he can't keep in that tiny little shell of a pointed head.

The magic class inability to run SERVES NO PURPOSE.

Maybe some cleric somewhere asked if this was a problem. I am telling you it is a problem. It is. There is no question. There is no substitute ability or gear or potion that fixes it. I don't want to be pacified. I am not looking for some explanation about how it works in the game or how to tweak it (I read those posts btw. Nicely written, clear easily understood) I don't care. I want it gone. It SERVES NO PURPOSE.

What level is your cleric? I ask because I get the feeling that you don't have that much experience.

Forget pvp for a min. Lets pick something like , say, eden.

Your squad has a tanky toon (BM/Barb/seeker) and some DD. Killing one at a time will be unbearably slow, so the tank runs and gathers a few. Cleric now yells at them, because they ran off before the cleric could stack heals. Everyone else stands round cleric, who BBs. Tank comes back and depending on class either pulls an aggro skill or stuns while everyone else piles in the damage.

Where did the cleric need a running skill?

Same squad, but no cleric. Mystic instead. Rezz buffs all round. Canny Mystic, they paste Falling Petals on everyone and before tank runs off, cast's Aegis Shield on puller. Tank gets back, Mystic has dropped healing plants, and dropped shield on the likely squishies who will pull aggro (psy, sin, archer).

Where did the Mystic need a running skill?


Tank pulls - but gets stunned/slowed or pulls too many. Healer sees tank's HP drop like a stone, *everyone* holypaths to get in there. Healer, being smart, also has some speed pots (sold in faction bases or made from herbs). They don't want to outrun the DD anyway, cause healing when tank is aoing will just pull aggro.

How about no?

It's all over just a terrible idea, honestly. They don't have speed skills for a reason, those with RRR9 and puri proc are OP enough w/o them.

Please do imagine giving an RRR9 Wizzy a speed skill: combine Puri proc, their leap (Distance Shrink) and Arcane Defense.
You've just created a class that can kite you to the edge of the map and probably even keep going after that. And that is just one example, there are very valid reasons why our Arcane classes do not have speed skills, you should probably learn them .

Basically this^
