[edit] Stacks with haste?

Alec, can we test that barbarian fast movement does/doesnt stack with haste? As I almost postive it is stacks, and I have heard you and others say that its doesnt. -- Pstarky

When HotU was first released, I extensively tested movement speed and conclusively proved that while Monk Speed stacks with haste, Barbarian Fast Movement did not. It's certainly possible that BioWare fixed it since then (it'd be nice if they did). Lemme see if I still have the test module I created. -- Austicke 20:09, 17 Oct 2005 (PDT)

I just tested it again and nothing has changed. Monk Speed stacks with Haste, Barbarian Fast Movement does not. -- Austicke 21:28, 17 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Thanks. Then it must be my image again. I just seem to out run more people when I play my Barbarian. (It must know how to cut corners better then my other characters. :P ) -- Pstarky 01:49, 18 Oct 2005 (PDT)

This is a bug right? It should stack? That begs the question of what should be included in the wiki? What it is or what it should be? Chrominium 04:55, 18 Oct 2005 (PDT)

It seems like a bug to me; I can't imagine why BioWare would intentionally make it different. If Monk Speed stacks, why wouldn't it be the same for Barbarians? We certainly need to document how it actually works, but I don't mind comments on errors (but a lot of that is speculation). -- Austicke 11:21, 18 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Assumming it's a bug, we still document it in the Wiki right? Then change it when they fix it in the patch? So I guess the wiki should contain things that are in the latest patch? Unless we do a patch history but I think that will get too complicated. -- Chrominium 07:05, 19 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Right. A few things have been noted as changed in patches, but not many. Generally, we're documented how it currently operates (bugs and all). -- Austicke 07:51, 19 Oct 2005 (PDT)

[edit] Stack with Monk Speed

I'm removing the following line, because it's incorrect: "Confusing as this sounds it does stack with monk speed however." I've tested and verified. They don't stack. -- Austicke 17:20, 16 Nov 2005 (PST)

Strange it did stack for me but that was well over a year ago. Perhaps some patch has changed it. Great to see that at least my edits get reveiwed. Thank you. DaBear 06:06, 17 Nov 2005 (PST)

[edit] Barbarian Speed and Haste (again)

According to my tests (and I made a very large test) it stacks. Normal running speed is 4 meters/second (100%), barbarian running speed is 4.4m/s (110%), hasted running speed is 6m/s (150%) and hasted barbarian running speed is 6.4m/s (160%). Hasted monk(3) runs much faster btw (170%), so don't compare them.--Kamiryn 10:21, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Hmm, we got different results. Did you create a test module you can share? -- Alec Usticke 12:04, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Yes, I could send it to you (or anybody else), can't upload it unfortunately.--Kamiryn 14:30, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Why not? Upload it to NWNWiki. -- Alec Usticke 15:44, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Ok, here it is.--Kamiryn 22:00, 15 January 2006 (PST)

Thank You, exactly what i needed for testing it for the CC notes. --CID-78 03:16, 17 January 2006 (PST)

The speed testing module Kamiryn uploaded clearly shows that Barbarian Fast Movement does -not- stack with haste, at least in each test I executed. Genesisth 00:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

That's very strange because in all of my tests (using the test module) it has allways stacked with haste: 6.4 m/s (=160%) compared to 6.0 m/s (=150%).--Kamiryn 13:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Seems that you are correct: Barbarian Fast Movement does not stack with haste. But I was correct as well: it did stack when I made the test two years ago. For some strange reason it was changed with patch 1.68: in 1.68/1.69: they do not stack but in 1.67 they stack.--Kamiryn 19:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
