Does the phantasmal tonic make you move slower?

I bought one of these last night and could've sworn that I was moving at half the normal speed in towns. Not sure if that is just a perception (since the rift warden is so much taller than normal characters), or it the tonic somehow slows you down.

I didn't think that the beetle tonic slowed you down...

no, it doesn't slow you down. i've got an everlasting so i use it a whole lot-- no noticable difference.

You are bigger, so everything looks smaller and makes it look like you are going slower I guess

it was probably just a trick of your eyes, you're moving the same speed as a normal player but with a much larger model, makes it feel like you're slower than you are. if you still want to go faster, pop some sweets and have at it!

Lol it's just your perception.

It must be your eyes because I saw a Rift Warden chasing a Beetle around Kamadan just fine earlier. :P
