Whats the best we can do with non-mount movement speed? Not necessarily the short burst sprint buttons on a cooldown. But good stackable speed buffs. I know theres the straddling gem, but you can only use one right? And when i look at the one gem that stacks speed buffs from socketed shadowlands gems, the buff seem so tiny. Like only 10% for 9 gems. So whats the best range we can do and how do we get there? Is it specific gear?
The Shaman’s Ghost Wolf is the best sustained movement speed, unless you’re talking outdoors in which case it’s the Druid’s Travel Form.
How about warlocks burning rush? 60%. And the health loss is manageable. Is ghost wolf better than that? And for the non class buffs, are all the gem and enchant buffs real small, like 10% or less?
Burning Rush is faster, provided you’ve got access to good healing, and you don’t get tagged with a DoT!
always wanted to try a full set of speed gear + kitty form druid + speed enchants

Whats the speed gear? Guess i need to get that with speed gems and speed enchants. Stack everything
it’s an orbital stat affix, like leech and indestructible or sockets. extremely rare.
like binary stars, i don’t remember where i first heard it, I just like the way it sounds more than tertiary which I find to be kind of an awkward word

Starting to sound like i need a zandalari warlock or druid with some speed enchants and thats probably the best i can do for getting it done simple like.
They should give us rogues burst of speed again, no energy cost, 20 sec CD or whatever they think is fair. Maybe even talent into it to give it to your party or a single friendly?

Last I recall, something around 220-230% passive movement is possible with a full speed set on a Druid. My Rogue sits at 198% right now, with a few upgrades to push. Hunters are also a solid pick.
Hunters get padded by Trailblazer which is not active while in combat. Worth keeping that in mind. Depends what you want the speed for if that matters or not.

How do you get around 200%? And is that all the time and in any zone? Or just in dragon isles or something
Since speed sets are typically utilized for old content farming, that’s a negligible difference most of time. Combat lasts 1-2 seconds as Multishot kills everything, and Trailblazer picks back up. You also can be in combat with Trailblazer, you just can’t attack, which is fine when you’re kiting/ignoring trash.
A full set of gear with the speed stat on it, bonuses that provide speed, and a couple enchants.
The top end is in zones that allow Azerite/Heart of Azeroth to be active. Without that you lose a good chunk, but can still hit like 170%-ish at the top end. Don’t totally quote me on that estimate, though.

Make it like weapon skills used to be, except to build your movement skill your character has to jog regularly. If they sit idle for more than a week they lose muscle definition and movement skill (speed).
Certain Goblins sell “enhancement potions” that make you gain skill faster, but hope you don’t lose a drop due to a random test voted on by your LFR group.
There’s a better option than Plainsrunner’s Breeze. Currently you still want a pair of 50 ilvl boots and Boar’s Speed. I think there’s at least one other enchant, maybe two, that’s effectively the same.
That said, the ilvl scaling in 10.2 may finally have current expansion boots be competitive with the old enchants.
My lvl 32 dk has 30% increased movement speed thanks to low level gem scalling, I know a lvl 20 druid twink with 100% bonus movement speed as well.
