movement in combat

[RascalRattlebone]

Why does my character run slowly in combat? My companion runs twice af fast?. When playing in group with my friend, and he starts a combat, it takes ages before I can join the combat?

Combat turns of sprint, the out of combat movement ability.  It's a game balance issue.

All classes have movement abilities that work in combat, as you level up pay attention and you'll learn what they are.

Some classes get their movement ability earlier, or can use them more often then others, when in a group you're supposed to work together and part of that is not starting combat until everyone is in range.

Note that this is most relevant for *melee* combat styles.  Ranged styles aren't supposed to close with the enemies.

True, but they all still have an in-combat mobility skill.

I've seen plenty of pugs where some player runs ahead, then start fights before even the ranged are close enough to engage.
