EXHIBIT A: NETS & SPRINT: A CALAMITY.
Nothing equipped in hands at this time, in full medium armor. Spinning up a battle-net and having it on my pointer reduced my sprint as noted in screenshot.
Equipped items in hands messing with sprint is known, afaik, but the net doesnt go into your hands so this is quite strange.
EXHIBIT B: ARMOR MANIPULATION.
Unsure if intended, but if you peel away a pieces of armor here and there you can manipulate to get very high resists, armor benefits, but also get higher sprint time.
