Like haste?[]

Does anyone know if this spell behaves (or can be used) similar to Haste in that it grants +4AC and 1 extra attack? --Tuskin

Stacking[]

Can this spell stack with the permanent Haste effect from items (not the spell)? Can it also stack with Barbarian Fast Movement or Monk Speed? --169.231.1.197 13:44, 7 June 2007 (PDT)

  • Defintely no for the 1st question. It does stack with Barbarian Fast Movement and Monk Speed. Harleyquin 18:21, 8 June 2007 (PDT)
  • It does stack with haste but not with the spell, however there is a 1.50 * base speed cap to movement speed, so without monk speed (to override the cap) or a movement speed decrease you won't see any speed increase for stacking the two. WhiZard 21:22, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

"150% faster than"[]

Note that the description can be misleading, as the caster in fact moves AT 150% of his speed, which means 50% faster. --74.56.126.239 February 12, 2010

  • The script attempts to make the caster move at 250% normal speed, which means 150% faster. So the description is not misleading. There is, however, a problem in that the scripting command used only supports movement increases up to 99. There have also been reports that speed increases over 50% are unreliable, which might explain what you were seeing? --The Krit 19:07, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
  • Actually EffectMovementSpeedIncrease() works wierdly. From 0-99 it acts as a percent bonus (e.g. 99 triggers a multiplication by 1.99) at 100 and above it serves as a straight multiplication percentage (e.g. 100 triggers a multiplication by 1.00, and 200 triggers a multiplication by 2.00) . So EffectMovementSpeedIncrease(50) = EffectMovementSpeedIncrease(150). The phrase "... times faster" though is ambiguous as it is commonly used for both meanings while strictly its meaning ought to be the bonus. WhiZard 21:22, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Item Property?[]

Can expeditious retreat be a permanent item property, like haste can? Terocone (talk) 00:33, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

  • No, permanent item properties are hardcoded. (Also, they generally are not spells -- the haste item property is more closely related to haste (effect) than haste (spell).) --The Krit (talk) 13:18, May 21, 2013 (UTC)
