Effects

  • (User) While active, momentum increases the users Movement speed to 140% of their present speed.
  • (User) Momentum increases the users Attack Speed by 30% of their present value.
    • Momentum does stack with other speed increases, but only to a certain point.
  • (User) While active, Momentum applies a stamina regeneration penalty that causes constant drain while in combat and very little regeneration while in explore mode.
    • The ability will deactivate if stamina reaches 0.

Passive Effects

Learning this ability does not grant additional passive effects.

Threat

Threat describes the amount of hate an action generates on it's target. Abilities that inflict damage always generate threat proportional to the amount of damage dealt.

  • This ability does not generate additional threat.


Role

This ability is very powerful, netting an easy 30% dps increase at the click of a button.

However, the constant drain associated with the ability means that the user has little stamina left to use on other abilities.

Collecting items that improve stamina regeneration can offset some of the cost running momentum, prolonging the period the user can stay in this mode.


Combat Tactics

A good tactic to set is

* If stamina == 100%

  • Deactivate Ability: Momentum
  • If stamina <50%
  • Activate Ability: Momentum

This will cause AI characters to deactivate the ability after combat once they reach full and cause them to enable momentum after they executed some other abilities.
