Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for your feedback! I blanket buffed movement by about 1.5x, and changed the movement formula to be += item velocity instead of = item velocity (this way, you actually can get some acceleration from using items instead of them overwriting your movespeed). I'm uploading an update soon, so I hope this makes the combat feel a lot better :)
edit: The update is out. Let me know what you think!
