A change in the price of runs

Will the Dervish elite skill "Avatar Of Balthazar" lower the price of runs? I remember it allowing you to run 33% faster for a long period of time (if maxed).

i doubt it, there might be too many runners and competition brings prices down more, and i bet nightfall will still have the closed doors >_>

I hope it doesn't have closed doors (but I'm pretty sure it does), I was talking more about Prophecies though.

I hope it does. I think it was a fanastic idea for factions.

I think a Dervish/Ranger or /Assassin would make a good runner.

Gah please no more doors. Making people go through the game 5+ times is not a fantastic idea. Maybe having it the first time through only..

OT...They might make good runners, but the long cooldown on the forms will make it not as good as a warrior, not to mention the lower armor on Dervishs

i don't think there will be closed doors the guys that made factions arent making nightfall the prophecies guys r making nighfall. But runner prices will be high in the beginning in elona then decrease but for prophecies prices will probably drop.

I thought it was so people actually knew what the plot of the chapter was about.

Just to note...The forms last ONE SECOND on a 120sec cooldown if your not primary dervish.

GG on that idea..

Its a GREAT idea.. maybe people will actually learn to play their characters... I can only pray.

I can use IoH with my mesmer and effectively run 33% faster permanently. Turn myself into a dervish, and I have heals + anti-cripple.

First-time-only should be the bare minimum. I find it excruciating to play in Tyrian PuGs these days, you forget after all the Assassin bashing how literally true all those jokes about Whammos always were.

I think all the idiots in Kaineng Center LFR to Marketplace are a pretty good indication that way too many of the people who get runs are first timers getting ahead of themselves, and not the straw omg bored experts who have played through the game a million times that we keep hearing about.

I think he meant D/<whatever> runner, not W/D runner...

A Dervish runner could use Avatar of Balthazar and Pious Haste. AoB at 16 mysticism would last for at least 18 secs which is quite nice... not only does it give you 33% faster running but +40 armour aswell which could keep you alive for longer... Pious Haste is a 25% faster stance if I remember correctly and when it ends it take an enchantment with it... perfect for triggering the Mysticism hp boost and energy boost. So a Dervish runner would do quite well if you use it correctly.

Yeah, after looking at the Dervish class and skills, I doubt they'll need an additional class to run. Of course, it would benefit them alot to have D/R or D/A like many have said, but they're a great stand-alone class.

And, it all depends on if the gates get taken down. So, you can't really say anything without knowing.

IF the gates do get taken down, then I think the runs might change during peak hours. Because if you've ever watched Ad's for running, a guy would charge 1k for droks, then the next guy would charge 900, then the first one would charge 800. Either it'll become a hectic undercutting market, we'll have a HUGE surpluss of running Dervishes, or you can hardly run at all with the gates.

Is there anything a dervish can't do?

They cant solo my wammo. All I need is frenzy, healing signet, mending and healing breeze. They'll die uber fast.
