Idea for Foot Heirlooms

[Gristle]

I was looking at horse heirlooms and I had a thought. If heirlooming my horse increases its run speed, why not make heirloom boots increase my run speed? As their stats increase, they become easier to run in. This would give foot heirlooms some actual worth.

Voted bad idea for obvious reasons infact there are so many reasons why this is a bad idea i dont think the website can take the wall of text..

Really bad idea. I already see agi whores no armors and +3 boots :/

Give the boots a weight reduction then? So without boots you're still faster, but as you loom them you're faster.

I am curious about how many unique reasons you could list.

We already do see strength stackers with +3 weapons and armor. Most heirlooms bonuses are effectively replacements or augmentations to character skill and attributes. Additionally, characters with lower starting agility/athletics and heavier equipment gain more from additional ranks of athletics than already faster running characters.

Give the boots a weight reduction then? So without boots you're still faster, but as you loom them you're faster.

The heaviest boots weigh 3.8. Reducing that to 0 weight is still significantly less than what an additional rank of athletics would typically do. That is pretty small given the current bonuses to damage and speed of weapon heirlooms, which are worth ~1 power strike (normally more on the +3 damage direction and a little less on the +2 damage direction) and more than 1 weapon master worth of attack speed.

I can post more exact numbers later if someone actually cares.

Walt you own

It couldn't hurt.. I would prefer either increasing acceleration or increasing max speed, whichever is considered not as good.

Should add nike and puma logos in an heirloom model pack too, would be sick

Not really. Well made shoes/boots can make it much easier to run and jump than when in poorly made ones.

Still you dont run faster, you only feel more comfortable while running.

Well, consider that we are playing a game. I did not post this in "Realism Discussion" for a reason. I've heard that the foot slot is the last thing most people heirloom, if they bother to heirloom it at all. Legs already take such little damage that it doesn't seem needed. An incentive like this would definitely make them worth it, especially to high strength builds. Everyone's afraid of the running archer being made faster, but this would benefit low agility builds more.

Based on other stat changes to heirlooms, just 1 or maybe 2 Athletics is all that would be needed.

Still you dont run faster, you only feel more comfortable while running.

That completely depends on the shoe that's being modified.

I think if we implement this we should also have healing potions

An maybe fireball scrolls which can summon fire upon thy enemy

Gloves should also have some special magic bonus FX:

Hey, Tzar, you actually put some effort into that overreaction! I'm impressed. I think Walt made better, more reasonable points though.

Walt, I would be interested in those numbers if it's not too much trouble.

you must be able to loom your legs and receive +3 to kick damage at first loom, 25% chance to knockdown opponent as second lstage, and 25% to knockdown horse at third stage.
