Mounts vs. SOW and Bard Speed

[Woody67]

<p>Checked around after reading the note on the changes coming to the mounts with the LEapers and Glider introduction and was curious if you think they will adjust SoW and the Bards' speed song as well? What about the assorted totems and other devices that can alter your run speed?</p><p>Normal run speed will be horrible after getting a taste of 100+ mount speed I suspect.</p>

<p>They should just make upgraded versions of bard run speed songs.</p><p>SoW prolly not, but Spirit of eagle upgrade would be cool to see.</p>

<p>In my opinion, group/self buffed runspeed is fine where it is.</p><p>The mount changes will give people a reason to buy and use mounts.  Characters on mounts should always move faster than a characters on foot.</p><p>Outdoors, use a mount.  Indoors, there's really no reason to be able to run beyond the speed that current runspeed buffs provide.</p>

<p>In my opinion, if the speed buffs would also buff mountspeed it gives them use and purpose no matter what one is using.</p>

<p>As a bard I am a speed junky - and still a bit bent over my wife's Fury being able to run faster then me. Anyways, to the point, I think letting speed buffs also affecting mount speeds would be great.</p><p>I would love to see speed buffs affect all the different movement types (ground, mount, flight; obviously they'd be scalled differently by type). Maybe even have some way of buffing your leap and glide amounts (if that's even make sense, I am basing my expectations off of Glide) - that would be a great replacement for some of the Dirge's selo's enhancement, btw.</p><p>So many posibilities!</p>
