If you like Speed Boost so much why don't you marry it?

I haven't been in game for awhile, just about every TF I run I can not enter a third to half the missions and support has been giving me the run around. I had totally forgot about the Winter event, maybe I'll hang by the slopes and dish out SB to players...

I've only recently leveled up a Kinetics controller. I use Speed Boost if someone asks me. With Kinetics, I'm pretty busy using all of the other powers on the mobs along with my holds, roots, and knockdowns. Making sure the entire team is perpetually boosted is just too much. Stone tanks automatically get priority treatment, and others get boosted if I notice that they're having endurance problems. Except for the tank, I don't worry about making sure it's always on someone. What I try to do with more regularity is make sure I have Increase Density on the squishies when we're going through missions with lots of mezzers.

Was in an outdoor mission and someone was using their Snowbeast from all those packages they opened. The thing was so slow..... until I boosted it. It was quite entertaining seeing that lumbering creature zipping all over the place.

SB plz

1235678 Team Buffed, done.

Numpad binds ftw. (omitted one number because that number is me..can't target self)

Problem?

Don't want SB? I'll put a hole re-enforcer sticky on your number. But don't expect me to remember in the heat of battle. So suck it up princess I'll buff you if it gets hairy and we need you to pew pew moar. (Like in the Battle Maiden Battle in Apex. SB = GOOD because it gets you out of those blue puddles of death faster.

I'm a kinoholic - love playin em, love playin with em. I've got about 4 50 kins (and counting...yea, sad) and I find by far the easiest to keep up sbing ppl is mf defender. With haster, 3 stacked siphon speed + spiritual, the recharge on sb is nearly ista and I don't really find it a chore as i'm not the main damage dealer - my job is to buff/debuff.
On my troller, its a little more taxing, trying to control and buff, but again, I don't really mind so I guess its just me.

On the other end of it, I did a states tf on my stone tank last week and the kin with us probably only sb'd me 5 times the whole TF. My friends were tellin me to yell at him (and were increasing the subtlety of their hints to him as the TF went on) but the way I saw it, i was still able to tank without it, I kept aggro, jobs a gud'n'. Again, thats just me, some people I play with would probably speak up, go domestic, whatever.

Either way, I guess my point is, its all subjective Ask me for sb, i'll happily oblige. Ask me for it while so still have it and i'll just smile and nod...yea....thats about it....oh, an'd i'd marry speed bost in a heartbeat B)

*happily agrees with this topic*

Yes I have Speed Boost keybound. I also have teammate selection keybound.

So unless you say "no you don't want it", you're getting it.


And yes, stay in melee range for the heal and the end top-off.

I really don't notice the buffs on my screen.

I was just telling @Anasthesia about this thread, and she replied that, when I'm in full on scrapper-lock, I don't notice the buffs, chat, ventrillo or even her talking to me from across the room.

It's not that I don't appreciate the buffs, or have respect for people who play ATs I cannot, because I do, really love them for doing it, it's just my nature to play characters who think (the MObs) "THEY are trying to stop me and my friends and they want to hurt or kill us to do it. Therefore, THEY must be the ones stopped and I'm here to do it."

Honestly, my least favorite part of Speed-Boost is the speed. If it would increase everything but my movement rate, I'd be a much bigger proponent of the power. As it stands now, I've had at least three low-level characters die in Atlas Park because a well-meaning Kin SB'd me and I ran into a group of higher level MObs that turn me into Faceplant Surprise, which (being a cook) is my least favorite recipe.
