I can’t overstate how broken Glide would be on classes that were designed without it in mind.
Glide is about a 10-yard clip at 180% movement speed; it is hyper-important to have this mobility when you have reduced ability ranged.
Glide is knockback reduction; it is hyper-important to have this reduction when you have reduced ability range.
Evoker mobility is dependent on Glide. Hover is an iconic movement ability, but Hover is worse in a straight line than a Priest’s Angelic Feather.
Evoker mobility is highly impacted by Empowered Spells. Evoker needs to consistently and quickly position in order to use Empowered Spells.
This is even a consideration w/ movement tools, in our own kit, like Spatial Paradox, which DOES NOT allow casting of Empowered Spells.
So, what happens when you give an instant cast 180% movement speed dash to a class without limited ability range and spell cast restrictions?
- A set of insanely powerful spell and movement capabilities.
-Heroic Leap, Glide at the apex anyone? See-ya-later anyone chasing the enemy flag character.
-180% movement speed levitating, ground effect immune, knockback immune, cast while moving Spatial Paradox Priest? Yes, please. - A herd of derpy T-Rex armed dargoons still trying to get in range of the boss.
