PSA: Don't level Long Stride, It's a trap!

Just wanted to say that some people may be tempted to level Long Stride (Hoplite 2 skill) now that it received a buff and got 3 overheats. But don’t level it!

Long Stride is still a terrible skill and I’m not sure exactly when it got a range nerf but now it has a extremely short range (even at max skill level!) and the damage AoE is as terrible as it ever was. Damage is still awful and it still knockback/knockdown enemies without a remove knockback attribute (very annoying in PvE).

This is the furthest range you can jump:
Range is about half the range of Spear Throw.

And this is the actual damage area (much smaller than Spear Throw):
No, it’s not just a graphical circle effect. The area is exactly this big.

The damage is ok as a filler, but It’s weird, because the hitbox/damage area was bigger than the current one.

I have to argue with you the damage is absolutely garbage considering the fact Spear Throw now deals up to 2x damage for max range (about ~25% more damage than Long Stride at max range) and has 10 sec cd with 5 overheats instead of 49 sec cd with 3 overheat…

I know you can take both but Spear Throw already fits in as a filler and Long Stride doesn’t have the utility of quick moving around anymore because of the super short range…

Guess it’ll be a good skill for zero-ing in to some range class in pvp… put 1 skill points in there.

#5

1 point wonder for pvp, can knock out of safety zones or use to close the gap after iron hook

I told “OK”, not awesome/amazing/wonderful XD

#7

I had it on max when the changes hit :expressionless: and I cant use it with dagger :disappointed_relieved:

now I have wasted 5 points in my hands that I cant even use properly…
