January 7, 201511 yr 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, 201511 yr by TheisEjsing
January 7, 201511 yr 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.
January 7, 201511 yr 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.
January 7, 201511 yr Sneakers of speed? ...yeah, gotta love those speedy shoes. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
January 7, 201511 yr Boots of Speed Dating... now with built-in heelys. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
January 7, 201511 yr 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. 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. Edited January 7, 201511 yr by Stun
January 7, 201511 yr 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."
January 8, 201511 yr Sneakers of speed - only usable by rogues. I have but one enemy: myself - Drow saying
January 8, 201511 yr a first i thought those are boots of travel from DotA 2 :D well Boots of Flash is fitting too though
January 8, 201511 yr Boots of blinding speed? Yup, pretty high opportunity cost all right. Hope the effect at least wears off.
January 13, 201511 yr 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. 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.
January 13, 201511 yr 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.
January 14, 201511 yr Bracers of speed that effect attack speed could be useful too. ( Hail Drizzt ! )
January 14, 201511 yr Blue Suede Shoes - allows for free disengagements (ie. Don't step on my blue suede shoes)
