Talk:Illusion of Haste

Edited the notes to explain that it is not that CoP removes the cripple, but that the cripple never happens due to early termination of the spell. This can be verified by testing on the Isle of the Nameless, standing near one of the condition test areas so that you already have a condition on, and CoPping the IoH off - no cripple and the underlying condition is removed --Epinephrine 12:10, 19 April 2006 (CDT).


 * It actually appears that Anet thought this behavior a bug and fixed it (Game updates/20060426). &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 05:50, 27 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Will this spell make you immune to crippled (like Tainted does to disease)? Or will it simply remove crippled when it is cast?
 * It only removes. - 04:43, 22 June 2006 (CDT)

The 15 second crippling could be very useful to a Me/N, or a N/Me. Use plague sending or Plague Touch, and boom, you've given your target crippling hell. ......Bah, I just fully read the article for this skill and it already has something I just said.

Fleeting Stability, sounds like the same except tha 1 makes u run faster and one stops KD--Relyk 19:50, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

there not close
 * Fleeting has a penalty at expiration. IoH has a penalty at expiration. Both can be upkept. Both enchantments. Both useful for running. It's got my vote. [[Image:PaintballerSig.jpg]] The Paintballer (T/C) 01:57, 17 August 2007 (CDT)

Lol@ANet, people will still never ever use this :P (T/C) 17:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Two and a half years ago, I got FoW armor for my mesmer running people through the desert with this skill. Desert runs paid a LOT those days. This might see some use when comboed with plague sending virulence and fragility.
 * Actually I do use this skill in AB sometimes. A.Saturnus 18:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If they just made this skill a stance it'd be nice. It's not like no other profession has a spammable running skill that would be better than this even as a stance. Hell, most dervish skills that have an "Effect on end skill" have positive effects. At least this one would balance out a bit with the negative effect at the end.
 * Perhaps, but that may ballance another part of the game out. RT | Talk 07:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Shadow of Haste Would be very different from this. Similar concepts anyway.

Things that gimp this compared to almost all other running skills:
 * High Energy cost (10)
 * Has an activation time (not a Stance)
 * Unaffected by Expertise
 * Strippable (is an Enchantment)
 * Can't combine with any other running skills because of the Cripple on end
 * Bad attribute for runners in general, IoW is the only other worthwhile skill
 * Duration/Cost ratio is too low

"I Am Unstoppable!" made this slightly more usable, but it's still pretty bad. (T/C) 07:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
