Well, I've been playing around with builds and well, if I could get rid of super speed, i can fit everything i want..so,

is ninja run a viable alternative to super speed? usage wise, i don't care about the speed numbers itself, but usability.

It's pretty handy. If you absolutely couldn't fit in a real travel power, I'd use it.

Jumps as high as Combat jump, and as far as if you had hurdle. I believe it stacks with hurdle but shuts off CJ. You don't get the -threat / psuedo stealth as SS, so if you wanted stealth, I'd suggest slotting the Celerity stealth in sprint so that it's still active compared to how unbound stealth works in CJ now (since it gets shut off).

I still can't stand travel suppression, so I don't generally leave travel powers running while in combat. I'm still amazed at how many people leave them running, pug groups or not, at all levels. At 50, sure, I guess...but pre-stamina and slotting and global bonuses. Just baffles me /rant.


I've already forgotten about most of you

Perfect, thanks voodoo.

I got an illusion controller so stealth isn't an issue, just making sure that well, it was fast enough to be used. hmm, i forgot about the -threat..i hope it won't affect it too much

I can see the numbers in mids, but there's a difference between the numbers and how something feels.

I've tried forgoing travel powers in favor of ninja run, and it works fine for most lower levels, (especially before you'd have the option for regular travel powers, it's probably worth buying for levels 4-14 alone) but I never make it out of the 30s without taking at least super speed. It IS viable to help you move around from place to place, especially with hurdle, but it is a little limited.

The only high level character I regularly use Ninja run on is one of my kins. I usually switch between SS and ninja run until there's a point I need to get to that's too high (like hopping over the mountains in the third mission of ITF) then I fire Inertial Reduction. Otherwise I can't stand that limitation.

Also a note to keep in mind is that you lose it when you disable temp powers in masters runs, if you ever do that sort of thing.
