Hi all.

Just wondering what the result would be if I used the following 2 skills together?

1. Armour of Mist = for 14 sec .... moves 33% faster
2. Windborne Speed = for 7 sec ..... moves 33% faster

Would I be moving 66% faster for the 7sec duration of windborne Speed???

I wanna know coz i wanna run myself thru Maguuma Jungle zones.

Runspeed is capped at 133%, so you won't run any faster even if you combine multiple speed buffs.

Then why does the assassain get a +50% running speed skill?

Good question, but doing Charge! on my warrior which is +25%, and followed by sprint which is another +25%, I'm not going faster at all. Or then it's something unnoticeable o_x

The 50% run boost is prolly a special allowance for the assassin. Or, it counters slow hexes and cripple. Really, imagined or etheral burden, assassin hits dash, boom hex is useless.

run cap is 150%...(or above 133% Me and my friend tested just now)
charge and sprint do work together

Are you sure? I don't see a big difference when I tested it. It didn't stack on each other, the speeds stayed consistent at 133%.

I just did it. didn't see much difference so I just used them seperately. Armor first (20sec recharge) then Windborne (5sec recharge) while that was recharging.

I died a few times on the way but made it. (only lvl 17)

speed buffs cannot be stacked above 33%, as charge and sprint are both 25%, combined they will give 33%. Note that i said cannot be stacked above 33%, one single skill which gives 50% is well possible (as in the assassin skill).

the same counts for snares : they cannot be stacked above 50%, yet there are multiple water hexes that snare you for more (upto 90%).
