There have been a number of posts regarding the question of how, or if speed stacks between passive speed buffs, pet speed buffs and elixir speed buffs. I felt like the general discussion left some open questions. So I decided to run some tests with my Rogue.
General Method:
To run my tests I went to KT4 and cleared it out. Now I had a track and clock. I ran tests on multiple configurations of Passive Speed, Pet Speed and Speed Elixir and measured the time it took to run one lap around the tomb. For each configuration I ran 3 tests (In some cases 6). I tried to stick to the middle of the hallway all the way around. You can see the results in the table below along with the raw data at the end of this post.
Conclusions:
- Pet speed does stack with passive speed, but the stack isn't purely additive based on the results.
- There does appear to be an upper limit on speed which is defined by whatever you get from the elixir. There was no combination of Pet, Passive or Elixir that could improve on just the Elixir by itself.
- The speed buffs advertised by STS are well below actual test results. (I do not know why this might be.)
Test Conditions:
- Rogue Level 41
o Build (All Dex)
o +5 Agility, Might, Intelligence, Critical on Passives
o Either +0 Speed or +5 Speed (for +0 condition skill points held in reserve)
- Test Pet: Scorch (+15% Speed) (Yes he was happy all the time)
- Playing on Android / 4G
- No Weapon Firing, or Arcane Activation During Runs.
- Tests run at three times during the day
- Ping at 150-220
