Flight Speed Cap with ONE Slot?


Decorum

I have been reading discussion to the effect that Flight speed has been tweaked yet again. Back in the day, it took 3 slots to hit the cap, and that was a bit of overkill, but it still took 3.

Around a year or so ago, it appeared that 2 slots would get you right around the speed cap.

Lately, in discussions about various builds, I have read that ONE slot in Flight, assuming you have a Flight enhance in Swift, will pretty much do the trick.

Is that right? One slot?

Is it the same way for Hover, ie, one slot?

If so, we have come a long way from when Flight was such an End Hog that you would run out of Blue Bar while flying if you did not slot End Reduction, much less the 3 slots for Speed, but that is another thread about young whippersnappers having it easy.


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

I saw a thread saying that. But I also saw people saying it was in beta and unlikely to remain that way in the same thread. No idea how the numbers actually came out, though.


Dec out.

Actually I deleted all my flight IOs on one character to try and find what it takes to cap out ... at LV50 flight is capped out with no (0) IOs

I can't see it staying like that.

It's funny, back in 06 when I made my fire/kin(troller and corr), I took hover to use in combat so that I wouldn't be running around like mad when I siphon speed. I liked it, it made hover speed about as fast as sprint was. Now, I played my fire/kin corr the other day to bring her hero side, and I was hitting the speed cap with one application of siphon speed while hovering. It's disgusting.
