Nah. Some characters should be able to move more quickly than others. Pathfinders should be generally faster than Titans.

This is already addressed in the passive tree though, ranger has quite a few move speed nodes in the passive tree that would be difficult and not worth it for Warrior starters to pick up.

Removing move speed entirely and buffing base speed is no different to adding it as an implicit.

The other option is to go half way, buff base move speed by 20% and have a max 15-20% roll on boots.

+1 to that last part especially. I think most people would be fine with boots being the only speed item if it wasn't as directly impactful. If boots provides a smaller share of a player's total speed then there would be no issue.

I do not want a flat move speed buff, actually. Removing penalty from armor would be sufficient. Implicits with more move speed mods through hybrid mods would work nicely IMO because part of it is also the feeling of getting stronger as you progress, and higher move speed becomes more necessary just mechanically. They could even include move speed as a campaign quest reward, something you can swap at will for a small cost, like those vials from act 3 (which IIRC don't have means to choose a diff reward atm but you get the idea). Heck, why not an amulet with move speed implicit, too? With implicits on boots, more available mods, more ways to get good MS, and tightening up disparities between lowest move speed and highest move speed on boots should help to significantly improve boot gearing and move speed pain points.
