move speed modifier showing 21.2% but 25% on boot ??

[p00se2]

got 2 boots both have 25% move speed

checking my character stats
one pair shows up at 25% move speed modifier
the other pair shows up at 21.2% move speed modifier

why does it increase from 21 to 25 when i take off my Energy shield armor ?

why ?? how ???

what kind of voodoo is happening here

People just datamined it, it's body armor(Chest) and shield/focus that loses you some movespeed, it is a hidden stat that specific bases have.

GGG is down under so heavier is faster because of gravity. Period.

[ministrog]

it was common knowledge that speed runners in poe 1 would take off chest gear to move faster in towns. you couldn't use movement skills or benefit from speed aura, etc. so they only had the hidden mechanic of negating movement speed penalty by removing chest pieces.

same silly thing happens when you dual weld. you get attack speed and a set amount of block chance.

i feel like it's a 'feature' to make the very start when you're naked not feel like ass. they could just show a buff during the start and it'll give you movement speed and disappear when you get some gear for the first time. that way it's clearly advertised and the whole gearing up process is more logical.

it shows negative penalty when you have nothing equipped

this is some special kind of dum design bs

So basically armor is useless right?
Compound it with less movement speed so that makes armor what?
Useless useless?

Its not boot armor, its chest and shield, you lost 33 int and your chest armor no longer works when you switch boots.

Yea just in general those are the pieces of armor that reduce MS if they are equipped.
