How about moving movement speed to implicit on boots?

Yeah MS as an implicit would make a lot more sense. Boots without MS are a joke.

I like this idea a lot. MS as an explicit is extremely lame. It Feels necessary under all circumstances and makes all boots without it feel irrelevant.

I think it would make sense to give all boots a MS implicit that depends on the base type, with both the stat types and equip level factored in. So dexterity boots would naturally be the fastest, followed by intelligence, then strength, (not varied too much so that evasion boots don't become too valued) with higher tier boots having higher implicits. Make MS as an explicit a mod strictly for uniques.

Love this idea. Please GGG...

+1. It's ridiculous that 1 modifier is making or breaking an item. Movement speed should be an implicit or there should be something on the passive tree to take if your boots don't have movement speed.

If move speed on boots was implicit, why not just raise everyone’s move speed?

Could be just +8-12 and maybe 12-16 for higher ilvls.
