Sense our professionals are afk or were ever they are im going to just complain as a professional because they haven't posted/edited things sense lunette left us. they haven't posted in shade forums or shade related things sense two weeks after le. witch is well crap. So we going to have to do this our own way without them.
On topic:
So Its been suggested many times by shades/agents alike and a few months ago i came up with a formula to make walking around in sneak faster easier for concealment users.
The Formula uses three tiers much like the perks/specials AO already has in place. The tiers would be based off your concealment/runspeed. I have yet to decide if it would be based off your base skill (Pure Improvement points) or Actual Skill (Buffs and all)
For base formula it would be as so:
Tier one 1-500 runspeed/Concealment:
Each 4 Skill points gives you 1 more speed. So having 500 runspeed and concealment would give you 250 runspeed on top of your Sneaking speed (Witch is 0 skill in ao atm)
Tier two 501-1001 runspeed/Concealment:
Each 5 Skill points gives you 1 more speed. So having 1001 runspeed and concealment would give you 250 From tier one, Then another 200 from your tier two, Giving you a grand total for tier two 450 runspeed in concealment.
Tier three 1002+ runspeed/Concealment:
Each 7 Skill points gives you 1 more speed. So having 1500 runspeed and concealment would give you 250 From tier one, Then another 200 from your tier two, Then additional 142 from tier three Giving you a grand total for tier two 592 runspeed in concealment.
592 runspeed is about 1/3 of what players have self buffed at 220. witch personally is fair they could even bump the numbers ever higher if they wanted. If you were to take buffs into the formula it would be alot higher Sneaking speed. lets take 2k runspeed/concealment, you end up with 735 sneaking speed witch isn't a hole lot but is quite fair compared how fast players are running now days.
Now your probly wondering what happens if i have 1k concealment and only 500 runspeed. how will this work will it use all tier 2 stats or be caped at tier one untill i break tier two stats on my runspeed. What it would do would use each of your skills indapenditly but adding to your sneaking speed so Concealment would use tier one and two giving you +225 from that and then runspeed from tier one would give +125. making your sneak speed 350.
Peace
