Courier's Haste
You move 25% faster while carrying a bundle item. While carrying the bundle, hexes and conditions on you expire 33% faster.

Sounds dumb. Slowing flaggers probably wont be a viable strategy without body blocking and it really seems like it was implemented with only snowballs in mind (assuming this effect counts for holiday arenas).

Holy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hell, this will teach me to not miss the Flux discussion next time a festival arena comes around. This is going to warp Snowball in ridiculous ways.

So basically it's just a not-allowed-to-push-flaggers month. Which means dervspike and AP spike are AGAIN going to have the advantage over balanced (whatever that means in 2k11) builds.
zzz.
zzz.

Wow. This flux goes perfectly with my rits GwK build.

Item spells needed a buff. But here's the question; does using an item spell purely for the flux more beneficial than 4040 set?

Kurzicks gonna love this flux. Free 25% speed boost while carrying amber and kurzick monks gonna love it even more. 33% hex dur reduction with 25% speed while preserving amber for green repair.

I may be wrong but aren't the presents in Snowball not bundles (i.e. they slow you down, unlike Kaolai ashes for example) and so won't be affected by the flux?
Seems like a rather meaningless flux to me otherwise.

and yes snowball snowball snowball, should be fun.
Besides wasn't GvG push flag, push flag again, push some more the tactic for idk, ages now? Atleast some change.

Chase flag runners with GWK and DWG's lol,
hit them with Recurring Insecurity so they have to stop to remove it,
knock them out with GWK.
How about Muddy Terrain and Wastrel's Worry to kill off runners, since WW will trigger 33% faster on bundle holders.

Even if this Flux was designed for the purpose of doing something for Snowball, I don't think that this Flux is as harmless to other formats as Minion Apocalypse was. The more I read this thread, the more I feel like things are going to be shaken up a little bit more than intended/desired.

This is hilarious and terrible and I don't even frickin' care because it'll be fun to screw around with for a month.

I'm so going to abuse my rit this weekend. CM bonus weekend with my rit, oh the humanity.
Coast
so its actually only hex+conditions gone slower(as u'll run not faster as normal speed)
cosyfiep
oh...cant wait for snowball...I might actually PLAY this year with this implemented!
Shayne Hawke
Actually, if the tournament format stays as it did last year, with neither side having Avalanche, this almost makes it to where present carriers are as fast as normal players, isn't it?

Let's see how people play the game with this area of effect before we load the guns.
This could be fun or cause major problems. If the issues out weight the pros, Anet are not the kind of people to just leave it alone. At least I hope not...lol

I don't know if the effect of this flux on GvG will be good, but it's not going to be huge. Bigger changes have been whined about and had virtually no effect before.
Snowball OTOH is going to be totally different.

Maybe some more Rit midliners (or midliners with /Rt) using the longest-lasting item spell out there would be viable, maybe even Rit backliners but then the Restoration line is completely devoid of cheap prots and hex removal not to mention a good spot heal (Spirit Light involves health sac) so it probably won't work ...

Will Wastrel's Worry work or not? I am confused......

Nice flux, should speed up snowball fest then, cus imo it takes to long already.
