Great guide, I haven't made a speed set in a few years, bear tartare was the food I used to use. It's also long overdue to have tuning to BFA raids to remove the mechanical roadblocks, enough players have asked for this by now.

amazing video i watch a few times over and just really took it in my druid has now in cat form 236.8% just on ground and with dash or stampeding roar 296.8% travelfrom just over 300% really amazing loved this project tnx for the video really!!!! that writing guide was also a big shout out to the one who made that!

This is a super cool video idea Soul! I love these kinds of tips and game advice.

Thanks! This video lead me to do a little research and I was able to get my mage to 170% pretty quickly.

Another good thing to add is older engineer tinkers like nitro boosts and glider on the cloak. They don't clash with enchants so they're ideal!

A potential good augment video to this one would be talking specifically about the various trinkets that can really improve your clear speed on transmog runs. I am very much looking forward to this feature in the 11.0 pre-patch and have half-ass speed sets on a couple characters that I can improve on.

Genuine question, but why is Shaman never mentioned in these kind of speed-guides? Ghost Wolf has a permanent indoors 160% running speed, with spirit walk increasing that with another 60% for 8 seconds every 50 seconds. Wind rush totem gives 40% for 5 seconds. They can remove snares and prevent fear, sleeping and charming. Still get CC'd? Lightning shield will automatically kill of melee enemies. I threw some gold at getting a full set with the speed stat on them (it is very true that getting longstrider on mail characters is a pain since 2/3 pieces only drops from raids), and with a phial (cheapest) I'm at 218% running speed without pressing any buttons (and I'm not playing on a troll, so can add another 5% to that). Sure, Druids can swipe their way through a dungeon to kill mobs fast, but usually thunderstorm and sundering are more than enough for me to quickly clear even the biggest packs. I agree Druids have their advantages, but I feel like Shamans definitely deserve at least an honorable mention when it comes to speedrunning! :)

True. Rogue is also a good honorable mention as in stealth with talents they can move quickly as well, bonus points to being able to vanish if you accidentally pull too many mobs and don’t feel like downing them.

Wow! Thanks for the video.

Another solid alternative is using a hunter and speccing into trailblazer grants you 30% movement speed after not attacking for 3 seconds. Accompany that with the 8% movement speed increase you get with a cunning pet, you're only a few speed tertiary stat items away from moving as fast as a ground mount. Plus we have posthaste and cheetah (which resets after a raid boss kill). I had a speed set in BFA that when I popped cheetah I was faster than a flying mount, that was a great time for farming.

i already have 3 speed druids on 3 different realms EU with speed sets giving 335-345% normal in cat form they are expensive however if you can wait i suggest on reset and the day after sit your butt on the AH waiting and re-scanning for pieces constantly and some people put them on not over inflated i got a full set like this for less then 10k gold, also if you need sockets on items like i think its rings and wrists (cant remember exact) this week is the perfect week do 8 time walking and a full lfr clear on your toon opening 6 vault spots which will give you 6 tokens next week which you can buy 1 socket for from the guy next to the vault (i did this on 2 of my druids) also remember speed stats scale with your gear and the level of your toon besides azorite gear ie a lvl 50 piece of armor with lets say 20 speed (for example) is much worse on a lvl 60 same as a 60 piece on level 70 is pointless.

Great video! What is that speed WeakAura?

When I was spamming alts through Ulduar for Mimiron's head, I timed all my alts with each run. This was a mount-only speed run, so I skipped all the unnecessary bosses and made sure to do them in a certain order to eliminate backtracking. This is what I found (also a note, this is without any of the extra gear and enchants in this vid): Nelf druid (no troll at the time I was running) with cat form and sprint could run through everything in 15 mins. At the time, druid was new to me and I didn't know about stampeding roar, so I'm sure that would shave off a minute or two. Next was my monk. Three speed boosts: Tiger's Lust, Roll x 2, Flying Serpent Kick. She could fly through in 17 mins. Only downside is you have to time when to use Flying Serpent Kick because you can't turn or stop. My main, a hunter, had trailblazer and aspect of the cheetah. You only get to use aspect of the cheetah when you kill a boss because the CD is so long that you're at the next boss before it can be used again. My hunter could make the whole run in 20 mins. Any of my other alts were just a slog to run, some only had a boost every couple a mins with no special bonus' and other yet had absolutely NO speed boost. Rogues could squeeze in between there somewhere, but it wasn't enough to really justify timing it.

for DHs farming black temple: Vengeance is faster than havoc. Grab pursuit, felfire haste, internal struggle, and erratic felheart (2/2) all on the left side of the class tree (below chaos nova talents). Then grab meteroic stikes and agonizing flames. Have mastery be the stat you stack, you can even use mastery enchants and hissing runes to squeeze out a couple more percent. Make sure to leap and use immo aura on cd for max speed

HEY youi are NOT weird; i did the esame thing with a pally. His first run he got 2 of those maddened bulwarks havent sold em but it was worth the effor to get my pally a speed set.

Warrior is also quite good for farming since heroic leap every 30 seconds clears 40yards and gives a 3 second 70% additional speed buff. So each use gives you a few seconds of time saved while farming.

@cujoedaman

The only downside of heroic leap is sometimes you can't use it because of LOS issues, like if there are a lot of stairs or ledges. Some raids it's completely useless.

I was so considerate to buy the Emerald Dream BOEs that dropped like crazy when 10.2 went live. Back then each piece cost like 200 gold. I'm sitting comfortably at around 205% speed on my druid for less than 15k spent :)

Did Blizz quietly buff this enchant? Because I just put it on my DK's boots, which is an enchanter, and they're getting 10% speed buff on 276 leveling greens (they're 66 atm). The tooltip now says 320 is the cap. So perhaps the days of lvl48 and lvl50 boots is over?

I crafted up a pair of Pioneer's Leather Boots, which are ilvl319, and dirt cheap to craft. Put Minor Speed on them and in cat form I got 10% more speed going from barefoot to boots equipped, confirmed by Monkey speed addon. edit: Still have several slots to update and loads of upgrading, but after a couple days I'm 238.2% normal Cat, 243.2% Cat + Prowl after race changing from Kul Tiran to Nelf. And can do 199.7% in Bear. I'm capping out on Longstrider so now to get more gains I'm looking for more +Speed pieces for four or five slots without dropping below the Longstrider cap.

not having onyx amulet, heart of azeroth, longstrider traits will be big reduction of movement speed if i have gear with speed stat, gems and enchants?

In War Within, will having a dedicated transmog runner on Horde side (trolls) still allow you to get all transmogs for all classes including Alliance side?

I remember there being a DH speed set an expa or 2 ago - pretty sure it was a good deal faster, but I cant find it anymore, so it might have been ruined.

Awesome video, but a heads up - I main evoker - there are no Azerite traits for evoker so cannot use plainstrider azerite pieces... tragic!

Is there any addon that filters AH by stats? Or does it have to be manual checking?

you DO have to gain a little renown to unlock that area's quests, so it's possible. that being said it would not be hard to farm. just do the main campaign, save the tokens and take them where the Dreamscapes are happening, use the tokens when you have the +30% Rep buff.

Priest shield, penance and feather is not bad. It also has a no cast aoe.

Is that a weakaura tracking your movement speed? It's clean!

The heart of azeroth is inactive in certain area, does it means on the part related to this is deprecated ? Was it a patch from blizzard ?

Wait so let say an evoker will be able to xmog as a let say paladin? With plate xmog?

Azerite gear can be used at level 70? Doesn't the effects grey out?

How noticeable is a difference of 180% speed and say 210%? I play Paladins in my ALT Army and would like them to be quicker for sure but how quick is actually required? Pally's are slow for sure so I'm interested in just being quicker not lightning fast so I'm thinking that these speed sets are relative ie an improvement is good enough

There are some times a different class will be useful for the raid your clearing. Demon hunter is good for their skips in ICC and BT. Hunter (or rogue) is good for Ulduar for the running straight to Flame Leviathan and FD trash. Also, Alliance has shorter RP in ICC waiting for Saurfang

Question: The enchant on boots says it doesnt stack wit other passives. Does it?

Can I do this with a lvl 70 Druid or MUST it be 60?

Btw, Tireless Pursuit Talent on Druid is busted.. if you constantly stance-swap, you'll get more movement speed, even in cat form.

I just tested this on my Druid and my normal boots I've got Plainsrunner's Breeze, which is 5%. Minor Speed is double this @ 10% but I don't see that lvl50 boots are a factor anymore, unless I'm missing something. Nothing that I could find in the patch notes but the tooltip everywhere, on Wowhead, and in game now states a normalized 10% like so many other expansion boot enchants that apparently do not stack with cat form, but also explicitly states the ilvl cap is now 320. So unless there's some kind of magic happening with those shadowlands gems forcing multiple old gear pieces to get a minimum of three sockets (if using lvl50 boots from Broken Shore) or being locked into lvl48 Fel Leather and just two low value older speed gems, I think the low ilvl boot days may be over.

Heroic/mythic difficulty actually give lower pieces than normal. For fun, here's why: BFA like other expansion content scales to your level up to a certain point. this scaling also applies to normal difficulty dungeons BUT not heroic or mythic. This is because while leveling you can queue up for the dungeon finder and you might end up in a BFA dungeon so it's going to scale up. So farm normals. Much easier and repeatable until you hit the instance lock.

BRB Race-Changing every Character to Zandalari Troll..

Night Elf is superior. Dreamwalk can't be used in combat so if you missed that one Dark Iron Dwarf at the start of BRD and are stuck in combat you can just instantly end combat, Dreamwalk out, then Dreamwalk back to the entrance.

The movement speed on the boots doesn't stack with all the other boosts. It says it right in the tooltip.

And 1 more perk is the last skill on hunter tree ''Barrage'' insta kills mobs within 40 years continuously to every direction you face with very low cd. Disengage +45% speed and all the time available.. And cheetah.

3:30 is wrong. You need to bei lv 50 to pick up the Heart Questline. with a fresh new char is not possible

I personally prefer Windwalker Monk for speed. Chi Torpedo gives you 30% move speed, stacking up to 2 with a 20 second cooldown (something like 50% average speed for 30 seconds every minute). You also get Tiger's Lust Brew (70% for 6 seconds) on 30 second cooldown and Flying Serpent Kick (400% for 1.5 seconds) on 25 second cooldown. Then, fheres the Windwalking passive for 10% speed. That's somewhere around 60% average, I think. Plus you can play Dark Iron for 4%.

ill say rogues with certain specs/talents can just go zoom, same with hunters getting that trailblazer that one passive movement increase talent along with post haste, aspect of the cheetah and having a cunning pet makes hunters also able ot go really zoom

Technically not a speed set but.. what if you stack leech gear on a warlock and have Burning Rush turned on the whole run? Since you hit for millions in legacy content, isnt leech gonna heal as much? You'll never run out of gas.

To anyone still watching this video - consider picking DH instead for you speed runner. Ability to jump over some doors and obstacles allows you to bypass entire sections of older dungeons and you have 2 charges, 2 rolls and a backflip. In many cases it can beat druid. Overall druid is still faster for longer run segments. Also, there is a variety of toys and consumables that allow you to move with ludicrous speed, strange that you never mention those.

isn't rogue way faster?
