Moving slow at low life is directly connected to agi. If you have your character window open and watch your agi stat as you go critical, you'll see the stat take a dive. The further it goes below 75, the slower you get.

One thing I've never tested though, is if the low life agi penalty is a flat value, or a percentage reduction, or takes you to a set value regardless of gear, so I'm not sure if the characters with high agi stat will have more buffer before slowing to a crawl.

That said, it's not something I would ever sink points into or gear for even if it did effectively increase that buffer.

It really is going to be one of those moments.

i haven't tested p99 but can assure you in classic agility had no impact on movement speed regardlessof being in ciritical health or not. This is, however, "classic" correlation does not equal causation.

I don't think it's specifically connected to being critical health, just to the agility value. That's why when people roll fresh characters they make sure that agility is at least 75. There are a few races that start at 70 and you literally run slightly slower than anyone at 75 for higher.

Being at very low life (not sure if the threshold is % based on just below a certain number value) your agility stat takes a dive, and the lower it goes under 75, the slower you get.

As for how it was on live, I was in highschool in the classic/kunark era and didn't know shit about the background systems in EQ, so I don't have any specific memory of testing things like this, so I'm only speaking based on what I've observed on p99. Anecdotally, I do have memories of slowing to a crawl while low life and running for the zone line. Whether that was connected to agility or not back then, I couldn't say.

Can we go for the trifecta here, how about this one: "short races run faster than tall races. trust me, bro."

I'm not talking out of my ass here. Go roll up a 70 agi character and have a friend roll up a 75 agi character and start running side by side. The 75 agi character will pull ahead.

Also, get low life and look at your stats and see how your move speed changes. This isn't hard to verify.

Believe me I have never put any points into agility Lol, it’s just one of those things I found out , when I was playing my halflin warrior I could run to safety at 10% health long as I was strafeing , my dwarf Rogue couldn’t until I found a few peaces of agility crap gear peace’s to boost his to 95+

That's a warrior feature, not agility. Warriors are not slowed down while berserking.

It must be a glitch, cause when I added the xtra agility to my rogue I didnt slow anymore at low health.

If you check the wiki, under primary stats , Low agility says affects run speed , I dunno how to test it or if it really even matters .

Sub 75 agi affects your armor class and it is good to have a base of 75+ but it will not affect your run speed. Someone prove me wrong
