Actually there is a trick to go just a little faster than Jboots and a
little slower than SoW when you run. I won't go into what it is because
it's SO useful for non-SOW classes that I'd hate to see it get "Fixed" by
Verant. Basically once I figured out how to do this my SK stopped dying ;)

And... it works INDOORS too ;)

Very true ;) And I agree. If something jumps you in a group do NOT run.
Let the group deal with it. Worst case, you die. You probably woulda died
ANYWAY but at least this way you don't get the group in an uproar and maybe
cause a couple extra deaths that wouldn't have happened if ya'd stayed put.

Personally, in groups I am in, if the caster starts running around when a
mob jumps them we give them 1 more chance. If they do it again we disband
them.
