Title: Prestige sprints question
Post by: Uncle Yuan on October 07, 2007, 11:49:44 AM
Do the prestige sprints replace the standard Sprint, or do they augment them like Swift does?  In other words, if I am using a prestige sprint, does it do anything to put a run speed or end reduction in the regular sprint?

They replace Sprint.

One neat use for the prestige sprints is to slot them with different enhancers.  You could slot one with a jump enhancement, one with a run enhancement and one with end reduction.  The obvious benefit is that you don't need to waste slots on sprint but still get a small benefit when you need it.

Another trick is that any sprint can be slotted with the run or jump IO stealth. So long as it's on, you'll have stealth. Good way to get stealth without wasting a power on the pool.

Seriously?  There's no way that it can be as good as real stealth . . .

Still, I might be worth an extra slot in a favorite sprint.

It is just as good as real stealth. And you don't need an extra slot, it's only one enhance. Stack it with super speed and you got invis. I'm not sure, but you might even be able to stack it with regular stealth for the same effect.

Green Streak has extra slots in his sprint - he's a speedster type and I want to have him still be really fast even w/o super speed on.

Would that work in Swift?

Swift doesn't accept set IO's.
