What is Faster - Shortbow or Mount?

[AlphaWolvesGamer.5790]

Basically the topic, what is faster for overland traveling? Shortbow spamming 5 > 5 > 5 > Shadow Step? or Mounting your Raptor and Moving along at the speed of sound, cuz you got places to go and maps to explore? I started Thief a little while ago and was amazed at their (if not a little annoying "obstructed" or "cannot find valid path to target") shadowstep traveling speed. But how does that compare to just jumping on your Raptor Buddy and running all the way down the track?

Raptor is faster in general, already tested this out on demo. SB + Mount profits round the same speed too, Mount + SS tho is bit faster not much.

 

I tested it during the race if anyone is curious

a mix of both is the fastest way to travel. Run shortbow + DD with dash add chaneled vigor and signet of agility. When you run out of everything switch to mount.

 

I might be wrong but I felt the mount had a different endurance bar. So you can deplete the raptor jump and come back to DD with almost full endurance.

since the jackal has the "blink" ability i think it is way faster than using sb5, the recharge on it is so fast that i only have seconds of downtime between the jumps

Once you get the 3rd master level of raptor, I'm not sure if anything beats its ground speed.

Don't choose between shortbow or mount.

 

Get a short SHORTMOUNT.
