Precurso Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Defensive Forms: Increases your movement speed by 15% in Ataru Form When I'm in Ataru Form, I never notice this speed buff. While doing dailies, after finishing a mission in a cave in Belsavis, me and my groupie were running out and pulled aggro (entered combat) and we kept on running outside without engaging, but still in combat. While I should be 15% faster than him, I wasn't. I wonder if this +15% is actually working? In the heat of battles in WZs I never paid attention but seems to me I am not getting any speed increase. Best way to test is get a groupie who is not a Marauder, get aggro from some NPCs and run side by side. Anyone else can confirm this?

Kibaken Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Respec Annihilation. You'll definitely notice the difference. Edit: Or, better yet, do this: Turn off Sprint and Ataru Form. Start running then turn Ataru on. You should notice a slight increase. Edited February 8, 2012 by Kibaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability to spam Massacre is nice. As for turning Ataru on, I am not really seeing any speed increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's only 15% - not game-breaking at all - but it's definitely there. Just look at the tempo difference in your foot steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precurso Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Speed doesn't really effect footsteps tempo If it did youid see yourself sprinting in force cloak but you don't. In combat you have a different tempo when sabers are off, different tempo when you take out sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Take your sabers out. Turn Sprint off. Turn Ataru Form off. Hit num-lock. Watch feet/movement speed. Hit Ataru Form. Watch feet speed up/average movement go up. There is indeed a movement speed increase and, coming from playing Carnage since day one, it's extremely noticeable if you don't have it up after being used to it for so long. If you require I can film a race. Edited February 8, 2012 by Kibaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selixx Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's definitely a noticeable difference; however, I was under the impression that if yuo had sprint up, ataru form did not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcpDarkMatter Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It doesn't, hence me saying turn Sprint off. It does work; but it doesn't stack. Meaning you'll still only be 35% faster with Sprint on out of combat, but in combat, Sprint is disabled and the 15% boost from Ataru form kicks in.

Sabbathius Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It works. The 15% run speed boost works only IN combat. And therefore quite obviously doesn't stack with Sprint, which only works OUT of combat. Get yourself in a duel with someone who doesn't have a +15% movement speed talent. Stand side by side, and start running. After a few seconds you'll notice you are pulling ahead. That's your 15% boost at work. It's the same for all classes - Sins, PTs, etc. It will NOT help you get out of the cave quicker. All it does is help you go from mob to mob while in combat quicker. Or catch up to a runner in PvP if you didn't slow him and he doesn't have the same talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
