Which is faster...

After I use siphon speed, which method of travel is faster...
1. Running/ swimming while boosted by Siphon Speed
or
2. Jumping using Inertial Reduction while on Siphon Speed?

Global: @Fire Beam

look at your movement speed numbers and see which one is higher.

Open your Powers window and click Combat Attributes. The Movement section of that window will list your current running, jumping, and flight speeds. You can look at those while Siphon Speed and IR are active to see which is better... it could be either one, depending on slotting and other powers like Swift or Hurdle.

Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

[/ QUOTE ] The run speed cap is higher than the jump speed cap, but super jumping(or IR) allow much better mobility than running. So, IMO, it really depends on the zone.

All of the above - depends on slotting, obstacles to travel if you're talking about time between locations instead of flat max speed, you can actually see it in game, and additional powers will affect you until you hit the cap (I almost always have Hurdle/Combat Jumping on my Kinetics simply because mobility is my best defense and I want the immobilize protection).

For general case point A to point B travel, I'd lean towards IR but as noted above I never had just IR going.

IR will almost always get you to a destination faster because you are less inclined to run into obstacles.

SS needs a target to steal the speed from, that means:
a/ having a target when you are ready to use it
b/ not getting agro from the use (this is pretty easy to avoid, but still).
c/ hitting the target (it sucks when you miss).

As for actual speed. Slotted IR is faster than a single SS.
Hurdle+IR is faster than swift+SS
Double stacked SS is faster than jumping.

IME with kin I wouldn't rely on siphon speed as a travel power, but IR is suitable for the job.
I prefer SS in mission over IR and IR outside of mission.

Depends on how many obstacles are in your way.
