Yeah but my concern is just knowing that I could have bard run speed with any class combo is going to make me heavily think about picking bard with every build,

The only reason I didnt pick bard on THJ was because everyone had run speed buffs.

Pretty sneaky way to fix a problem with a broken game mechanic the original game specifically controlled—that triple classing breaks.

It's like Fungi theory.

Bard speed is not as important on EQL because there is no DoT kiting, you don't have to run to vendor to sell loot, you can pre-scribe all your spells, and the entire focus of the game is clearing (indoor) dungeons. Plus every character starts with "Boots of the Traveler" that cast a SoW that breaks on spell cast/attacking. Bards are still crazy good, but it's for their combat buffs (with Symphonic Aura constantly pulsing 5 songs in the background) and utility, not for Selo's.

I'm thinking that purely it'd be a must have as a QOL upgrade.

Traveler boots is a nice attempt to mitigate the fact that every class you like can have bard speed but, we'll see.

Sow felt like molasses after you get used to bard speed everywhere.

Being able to run away from anything is super valuable though as well.

And being able to run and heal up and go back and fight, that's pretty epic.

I wouldn't imagine kiting is going to be very viable compared to just face tanking and killing reds anyway.

Another reason bard will be a good combo for melee 🤔

I think my first build will be melee, melee, bard 🤔

THJ is gone.
The stolen stuff itself stolen, then mushed up and spat out as EQL.

As a slight corection, the day people stopped playing THJ was definately when they got their arses handed to them in court.

In this new reality, who is considered to be Brad and who is Smedly? Rogean and Secrets?
I can see people getting tattoos stating No Rogrets

I think EQL is gonna be pretty fun and successful based off those last few videos.
