I'm thinking about putting this in the suggestion box for the devs, but I thought I'd get some feedback here first. I've not seen it brought up before but maybe they've already discussed it. I've never posted over there.
So to make Sprint a bit more useful and maybe a bit more fair here's my suggestions:
Why not have it tick away an increasing amount of TP the longer you hold down the Sprint button rather than blow the whole meter at once? This would make it so that it could actually be a situational tool and something a DPS or Tank could actually use.
On the fairness note playing primarily as a caster I've always felt kinda dirty that I get it basically for free so if this method was adopted for metering and you were playing as a DoM, using Sprint would drain your MP bar at an appropriate rate similar to that of draining off TP.
Well that was my big epiphany this morning. What does everyone think?
