Stormwraith Kirin evasive leap.

[Vexaro]

Patch 4.0 got this mount bugged.

Pre 4.0, using evasive leap would 1. jump 25 meters + gain 50% speed boost for 3 seconds, which would then stack with run or 2. If run! was used first, it would instead jump 35 meters but no speed boost.

Post 4.0 its half broken, it still jumps 35 meters if you use run first, but if you Leap and then Run, it just breaks, it does not stack the speed boost it should and instead run just overrides evasive leap, mount is stuck at 23.3 m/s top speed with gems (it should hit 29 m/s, even if for just a second).

All mounts stack their speed boosts, like run + dash, at the moment this one doesn't.

Thank you for reporting. We'll look into it.

We looked into these 2 skills and can now confirm that no bug took place. Change was XL intentional and is kept in later game versions as well.

Could it be that its just another bug they generated and couldn't ever be bothered to notice / fix? thats what they always done.

Skills don't just override other skills like that, quite the opposite, they synergize. Bears run into rolls , lions and tigers run into dash, horses, Elks, all synergize, but the Kirin has skill combos that are just removing one another. its the equivalent of a tigers dash getting overriden by its run, so instead of 14.1 normal speed -> 25.6 m/s dash+run, it would instead perform like you only clicked run, doing 19.9 m/s because dash was just replaced, its speed and immunity were completely lost. But thats not how they're working, no other mounts just replace the previously used skill, and instead stack their properties.

Maybe you guys could revert this XL blunder? if not, then dunno, guess we move on. Thanks.

No, that is not a bug. From what we can see is that Evasive Leap was originally working incorrectly when implemented (as it's unique skill for this mount only) and then fixed in this patch. This change is kept in the later patches as well and we don't think it should be reverted.
