Athletic Perk (Rogue)

[lovethesuit]

Please take a look at these two level 8 rogue perks:

Athletic
"Chased throughout childhood and being on the run have given you increased speed as a trait of survival. A standing motto for you have always been to be a bit faster than the slowest of the group."

Perk bonus: +15% movement speed, +2 reflex.

Scout
"A life in the wilderness has become yours by choice or force. Whether a nomad or a hired scout, you have grown fond of the wilds and your place in it, at the point where animals consider you one of them and leave you alone for the most parts."

Perk bonuses: +2 Hide, +2 Move Silently, +20% movement speed in the wilds, +2 Fort, Animals don't attack you.

I get the feeling that the one thing that makes Athletic unique, being its speed, is heavily outshone by the Scout's even higher speed. Yes, it is only +20% in the wilds, but most of the server is wilderness.

Suggestion: Increase Athletic perk speed to >+15% and/or give a bonus on all climbing/jumping checks (+X to relevant EFUSS skill?)

I would say maybe a hefty Tumble bonus.

You'd be surprised how many zones you'd think are wilderness are not. A flat 15% is pretty amazing in that respect. Still maybe it could do with something else as well.

+2 Reflex is pretty sweet for rogues too.

I have this perk and have the same speed as a level 8 barbarian. Either it is in actuality 20% or 15% and 20% are effectively treated the same by the engine.

This is the best rogue perk.
