Run+strafe vs Run

[Seducio]

Assuming no jboots and no sow, how much faster is run+strafe vs run alone on a percentage basis?

Is Run+strafe faster than jboots without strafe?

fast enough to catch someone with a lead ahead of you

[Toxigen]

it was enough to trigger shitters racing for kael FTEs

[Swish]

Maybe 10% ? It's enough to outrun mobs chasing you.

Forward unbuffed is ~29.73 loc/second, strafe run is ~33.26 loc/second, so almost 12% faster.

Jboots forward is ~40.15 loc/second, which is consistent with the wiki value of a 35% buff.

Strafe is less helpful the faster you go, but still helps a little even at max selos.

I measured these values. I used a log parser to add a high precision time stamp to each log line. Then I ran in the flat area outside kael on the ew side, and did a /loc at the start and end of each test. I used the locs and the high precision timestamps to calculate speed.

Holy crap, nice job!

Fascinating. Appreciate those numbers.

Any chance you have stats on lev60 selo's speed in loc/second?

~76.27 forward / ~77.71 strafe.

I checked the forward number with both drums of the beast and with empty primary/epic+puretone. Strafe number was only tested with drums of the beast but I don't have any reason to think puretone would be different.

I didn't test a drums of the march but people tell me it visually matches beast speed.

I did these tests a while ago and one of my favorite realizations was that I can comfortably leash something in place: 1000 loc leash distance / selos forward speed = ~13.1 seconds, which is shorter than a bard mez.
