Allow Sprint to buff Fly

More or less self explanitory. While I heard that Sprint doesn't take true Universal Travel sets due to stacking issues with the Prestige sprints, I can't see the harm with allowing the small +10% buff it gives to jump height to also be given to flight speed.

do you jump higher when you're walking or running?

can you get out of a plane to push it by kicking your feet in the air to make it go faster?

I guess sprint needs to be nerfed because it increases jump height.

I don't know I can't fly...lets ask someone who flies...

Which clearly you can if you think about it. What do athletes do?
Though I don't know what your getting at with this question.

I don't think this idea is necessary to be honest, at higher levels you can reach the fly cap pretty easy, 1 SO slotted in Fly takes you very close to the cap anyway. But I'm not against it. This would save me using Jump Jet you get from GvE to get me that little extra boost needed to hit the cap, which doesn't last long.

Swift boosting flight speed is acceptable because it's an additional power pick you have to dedicate to it. Sprint is a power everyone has, so giving it a flight speed buff amounts to the same thing as just boosting the base flight speed for everyone.

Granted, Sprint already boosts Super Speed in the same way, but Super Speed caps with just its own default slot, so that's not as much of an issue.

I think the buff may be more beneficial to hover.

Considering the extra end cost that would be incurred by having to toggle on sprint to get this requested fly speed buff, I'm all for this.

Both Swift and Quickness buff run and flight speed.
Hurdle buffs jump height and jump speed.

All three are passives. Sprint buffs run speed and jump height and costs considerable end.

I see no downside or balance issues with having it also buff fly speed. It already buffs SuperSpeed and SuperJump, so why not Fly?


Be well, people of CoH.

This was more of my thought process. It's not 100% free due to the end cost and it would offer a choice of a speed boost.

Concerning Sharker's comment: With this being a videogame, there's numerous examples of a game's dash/running power either boosting flight speed or outright requiring a running leap.
