Guild Wars 2

Mesmers have low mobility ooc, and are slow to cover larger distances. But they have a very high mobility when it counts, in combat.

Giving mesmers more speed would have to be balanced to buff their ooc speed without making them even more mobile in combat.

It’s no fun being slow, I usually have focus, inspiration signet and blink just to move around faster on my Mesmer. On Guardian the change to staff is worse than before, only good for zerg trains, like i’m gonna stand around in the field to fully buff speed :p

Mesmers have focus for swiftness and 2 teleports (Blink + the Phase Retreat trick) for movement.

Guardians have perma swiftness.

Hardly any decent ele uses the speed signet.

If a necro uses the signet he has to sacrifice a valuable skill slot (they have no other movement skills cept for the wurm teleport but that is just lolz)

The fact that not every class get’s the same access to speed movement increases is pretty ok considering how much block/vigor/teleports/aegis/cloak some have.

plus one
i cant stand how slow some toons are. here i am standing on wall, i do a lot of it, and its safe to say that when ive had enough then its time to reconsider some things anet.
i mean cmon.
