fastest mover

[CoasterHops]

I have a 13 Rog (Acrobat) 6 monk 1 fighter and it moves pretty dang fast......... it feels faster than when i had a pure monk, and of course the showtime makes it move even faster.

Swap that fighter out for 1 lvl of ranger and sprint boost away.

[SealedInSong]

Barb10/Rog10 can have:

+10% Fast Movement
+50% Barbarian Sprint Boost
+50% Ranger Sprint Boost
+50% Pendant of Time's "Warp Time"
------------------------
+160% theoretical base speed (x2.6)

Warp Time is an enhancement bonus, does not stack with Haste, Striding, Shadow Walk, Acrobat's Showtime, Longstrider, Exp.Retreat.

Fast.Mov is innate, and both Sprint Boosts stack with each other.

That is of course the fastest peak, theoretical, public-area speed value, not the "fastest character build", as a Monk/Rogue would then most likely have access to higher unbuffed speed.

As binnsyr pointed out and you acknowledged, the sprint boosts wouldn't be activated at the same time.

Also, since Acrobat II's (competence bonus? need citation) 10% is reported to stack with enhancement bonuses [re: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php...4#post4629224] I'd think it would actually be cumulatively faster to go rogue12/barb8 and miss out on the four tier of sprint boost, i.e. lose 5% of sprint boost to gain 10% from acrobat.

Can anyone confirm that?

[AidanRyuko]

just for information:

I think the current fastest build is 18 monk + 1 archer
+ 30% monk base speed
+ 35% archer sprint I
+ 50% Time Pendant
------
+115% in cities
I tried this out in practice as well, I ran a straight line 7 game Units long, 3 attempts per equipment/boost used and the slowest time is the absolute base with no monk levels and no striding etc. This was done in an average of 19.8 seconds.

The fastest run was with the Time Pendant and Archer Sprint I, which took 8.9 seconds.

This means I ran 7 units 10.9 seconds faster then new players that take 19.8 seconds for that same distance.

Another interesting new thing came from Diyon on my jump thread, he had the following info:

Druids get Snowslide which does a Step-like ability except further and gives you a +50% action boost bonus to speed afterwards (9th lvl spell).

So Druid 19/Barb 1

50% enhancement bonus (shadow walk/time pendant)
50% snowslide action boost bonus
10% Barbarian.

[goodspeed]

wouldn't the fastest be a monk with that shadow walk ki use? I mean with everything mine has he hits that thing and just takes off.

[scoobmx]

These are all enhancement bonuses and do not stack:
+25% - Least Dragonmark of Passage
+15% - Longstrider
+30% - Striding Item
+40% - Haste
+25-35% - Way of the Acrobat (only the 10% "showtime" boost stacks)

These ones are untyped and thus stack
+5-30% - Monk Fast Movement (+5% at levels 3,6,9,12,15,18)
+10% - Showtime Acrobat Boost
+35/40/45/50% - Sprint Boost I-IV

...

I've personally tested all of this except the Monk fast movement.. I don't have a monk. I hear conflicting reports on it not stacking with haste, or stacking.. I think it's like the wind stance? Partial enhancement, partial insight.. So it partially stacks? Dunno tho, so I just used the numbers given in this thread.

Umm no, showtime from acrobat doesn't stack with haste. It is an enhancement bonus and you can see that on the wiki as well as in-game. I think your personal testing is wrong.

Also, acrobat 2 (what you call 'way of the acrobat') is 10%, not 25-35%, and that part actually does stack.

When I was lvling my female bard she had no problem keeping up with Barbs and monks and they commented on how fast she was, I spashed 2 barb lvls on her for sprint boost and I have problem with lag and steering lol

Just a thought are females faster then males in the game?

smaller characters will 'feel' faster. A halfling will seem to be running faster than a warforged going the same speed.

She is human!

[AidanRyuko]

Monks also have the option to take grandmaster of Flowers which gives an additional speed bonus while using air stance (Tier II), this should make it definate that a monk + 1 splash will be the fastest runner.

Some additional information.
Base run speed in kilometers is about 25KmH
My monks speed with pendant and sprint is 55.3KmH
at it's pinacle my monk can get to 71.3KmH

I'll try to get a barb who fits the description of what some people consider to be fastest to get it's speed.

[Sydril]

19 monk / 1 ranger with sprint boost would be the fastest character possible.

[Captain_Wizbang]

My Tempest can outrun a barb for 20 seconds!

Doesn't matter though, we all still have to wait for the Dwarf Cleric to catch up!

Isn't that an enhancement bonus and thus non-stacking with other enhancement bonuses?

[slimkj]

I have this (well close to it) and yes it is very fast, but I suspect the Druid thing mentioned may be faster.

Also, if you cheat it may be possible to get faster still but I've never tested it as, well, it's cheating. :P

It is. And it's not a monk exclusive enhancement either. Any class may take it.

re: other. You responded to post of mine from years ago (this is a necro thread from .... 2009).. The game changes rapidly, so yea things I posted years ago may no longer be accurate.. Not exactly a surprise.

[AidanRyuko]

yes grandmaster of flowers is an enhancement and does not stack, I found that out later.

@ shade, it doesn't matter it's a necro, it has useful information gathered in one place and the question stays relevant, who is fastest?

I now pitted a maxed speed Barb with all the enhancements/gear necesary.

Base speed: +-25KmH
Max Barb speed: 49.1KmH
Max Monk speed: 55.3KmH

[Eighnuss]

I didnt read the whole thread and dont like math, but wouldnt 10 barb 10 ranger + umd scrolls of shadow walk be fastest? Has that been mentioned or considered or plausible?

[Therrias]

I don't recall when I've ever been wrong when it comes to Barbs.

You should put that in your signature.

18-19 monk/1-2ranger gets my vote for fastest. Though I doubt anyone ever has/will build that, so its moot.

[AidanRyuko]

Actually I have one Therrias. I made a toon purely for maximum ability to reach impossible places and thus I needed maximum speed as well + abundant step type of feat.

I had 18Mnk/1Rgr/1Rog. It is very fast. The char is pure at the moment but given how little 10DR does for you these days, I'm considering switching back into the original build for the Sprint Boosts and the Rog benefits.

Cool! You raced any barbarians?
