TheisEjsing Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I'm not certain this really merits a thread, but I can finally sleep at night, since I just read this on Josh's tumblr! "since a lot of people wonder, there are Boots of Speed." Hurray! ^_^ (And I apparently don't know how to attach a picture right). Edited January 7, 2015 by TheisEjsing 4
Gfted1 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 On one foot, Im excited to see them make it into the game. On the other, I wonder what the obligatory "opportunity cost" will be. Probably drains Health or something like that. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Luckmann Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 It's funny, because with the current Engagement system, it doesn't really matter how fast your are, you're going to be standing totally still in combat 90% of the time anyway. 1

LadyCrimson Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Sneakers of speed? ...yeah, gotta love those speedy shoes. “Things are as they are.

Probably drains Health or something like that. LOL Or... the 'speed' property will be an activated 1/encounter ability and last about 6.2 seconds and then inflict 480s of fatigue after it expires.

ruzen Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Boots of Sonic would be more cool x) Kana - "Sorry. It seems I'm not very good at raising spirits." Kana winces. "That was unintentional."
Nakia Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Sneakers of speed - only usable by rogues. 1 I have but one enemy: myself - Drow saying
Darkpriest Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 a first i thought those are boots of travel from DotA 2 :D well Boots of Flash is fitting too though 2
Jarmo Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Boots of blinding speed? Yup, pretty high opportunity cost all right. Hope the effect at least wears off.
lordkim Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Perhabs they need these boots , so they dont need to postpone any further 1

In Baldur's Gate, Boots of Speed were never really about combat, they were more useful for scouting and kiting groups.

In Baldur's Gate, Boots of Speed were never really about combat, they were more useful for scouting and kiting groups. Speak for yourself. Getting my casters in and out of combat or building a backstabber character says otherwise. Hell, even just being able to run up and smack the mage on the head before he can get a spell off was worth it.
Guest 4ward Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 they helped me a lot in combat, especially against faster moving creatures like dragons or generally creatures with nasty ranged abilities. I also believe they improved the attack speed of your char. Would be interesting if the boots in PoE would increase your attack speed, then they would make actually more sense in PoE i think.
valyhaxX Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Bracers of speed that effect attack speed could be useful too. ( Hail Drizzt ! )
