Just curious, because it's kind of a jarring difference from running with melee weapons wielded, but why is the run animation slowed down (compared with running with melee weapons) when running with a bow? The movement speed itself isn't different, but the animation is considerably slower and looks sluggish.

Bumping because I just found it myself in different places.

(To preface: this problem only exists when you have a movement speed boost, not with normal movement speed.) I noticed this almost immediately upon trying the game again this year, and it's still bugged me regularly since some of my favorite chars and specs utilize a bow. When running with a bow wielded, footfall/running is quite literally slowed, regardless of race---compared with stowed bow/weapons and with running while holding melee weapons. The movement itself appears to be the same speed, I get from A to B at the same speed. But the animation of running while holding a shortbow or longbow is *slowed* to where footfall doesn't even land naturally or in an aesthetically pleasant way. It's very jarring, and also very confusing, since it's a movement I'd liken to running with a staff the way caster classes run with staves (non-daredevil/revenant, who both run the same way with a staff, either behind the neck as an asura, or with two hands as a humanoid). I guess the bug is that the increased speed animation/buff isn't applying *entirely* correctly to the running animation while holding a bow; but it's fine when the bow is stowed. (Not while it's stowed, and while not using a movement speed rune or signet or swiftness, the two are identical.)

Bump. Still unplayable with this bug. Yet shortbow is my favorite ranger weapon.

I've been waiting and looking daily to see if the roadrunner is available. I'd love to request it come back to the shop sometime soon. I started playing the game again after 8 years earlier this year. And it hasn't been available.

R7 5800H RTX 3070 and this began happening to me this week.

I've looked at previous threads and tried some of the suggestions, but can't seem to fix this. Ping stays steadily in the 80s, FPS is usually pretty steady and high (100 in some zones, 160 in some, 200 in some). I'm on a new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Ryzen 5800H GeForce 3070 with 32GB Crucial 3200 ram. I upgraded the RAM today, and hoped that would help, but the stutter still happens. Running the DX11 beta, but happens even when I turn that off. It occurs mostly during combat, every 8-10 or so seconds, and I've tried different graphics settings, but can't figure it out. It's extremely frustrating and making me not want to play. I didn't have this problem in the first few weeks, but it's been happening constantly for the last few days or so. With ArcDPS metrics, I think I notice R goes red when it happens. I disabled packet coalescing, still occurs.
