Longstrider trait

So how does this trait work? Ive had it in the past but didn’t notice any speed difference.

Does it stack?

Is it worth it?

Movement speed has slowed dramatically since they nerfed “Bear Tartare”, good job Blizzard.

It does work, but the boost is small, I wouldn’t recommend it outside of a dedicated speed set.

If you want to see exactly how much it’s adding, try the deja character stats addon. It shows all of the hidden stats the default UI no longer does, like movement speed.

I tried stacking and it didn’t work. So that’s out of the question.

The only speed up that’s worth it is the Lightfoot pot… With a minute cool down.

Longstrider does stack from multiple azerite pieces, but unless your gear is really heavily slanted towards a single secondary stat, it is probably only adding 2-3% per piece at your ilvl, which is hard to eyeball.

On my hunter, I’m getting +13% total from 3 pieces (345, 360, and 375 ilvl), which combined with pet buff, trailblazer talent, minor speed on old boots, runeblade of rivendare, and a single 335 trinket with a speed warforge, gives me 178% base movement speed.

That’s awesome. I have missed those stats. I like knowing exactly what my character is made of, not just what blizz wants us to know.

Deja Character Stats is my best friend! :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah but you’re also lvl 111. Some of those boosts won’t work when you hit 120

I think the only class that can get the most out of it is Demon Hunter since their Mastery is already a speed boost.

It stacks, as well as stacking with the Hunter Pathfinder (such as when you use a Silithus Bug pet, or one that gives Pathfinder) AND with the Dark Iron dwarf dungeon running speed, and trailblazer (though my hunter is a Night Elf, so I don’t get the Dark Iron indoor buff, of course.)

With Pathfinder, as well as a couple of longestrider things, my hunter is now at 158 run speed (while base mount speed is 200, base running 100.)

She is not yet 120, where it makes more sense to have it. Otherwise, usually some other trait is better than Longstrider.

I press a button macro, to engage a script that shows your run speed at the time. I forget the script, but ti was on Wowhead or something or the web somewhere.

Before 120, doing “serious business”, it might seem worth the azerite slot for old dungeon mount farming/etc.

Not bad if you have it as part of a 2nd set. I can practically run at mount speed while stealthed with my full +speed set, which includes several of these azerite items.

I was talking about my 120 hunter, not this druid.

12

I stand corrected :slight_smile:

I don’t think I can use any of those boosts as I main a Warrior :frowning:

I’d hate to switch my main again just to speed run 10 year old content.

You can use runeblade of rivendare and boots from MoP or earlier with minor speed enchant (don’t use mop enchants, they don’t stack with runeblade, idk about tbc/cata ones), for +20%. Besides that, just save whatever random gears with get with speed warforges and longstrider, I’m not sure if there is anything else warrior can use at 120.

I’ve only ever picked in on my DH because the “other” defensive trait on that ring was “self reliance” which requires you to stay at least 12 yards away from hostile mobs to work. So useless for melee.

Didn’t notice any speed difference.

15

I can use the rivendare thing at 120?

16

Yep. It drops from the final boss of the undead side of stratholme. It used to be a pretty rare drop, but not so anymore.

What was that sithilus bug you was talking about? I can’t find any info on it

18

I believe what that poster was talking about was the hunter cunning pet movement speed aura (+8% movement speed, +12% with BM talent). Sithilids specifically also have a +30% movement speed bonus, but that only applies to the pet itself, not the user, I think they got that mixed up with the aura.
