Guild Wars 2

I think that the reliance on swapping to specific weapon sets for swiftness, and the imbalance of certain classes having access to swiftness more frequently than others (mesmer comes to mind), demonstrates the need for a more unified approach to swiftness.

I think it would be absolutely awesome if you were to implement a legendary type quest to attain a pair of swiftness boots. J-boots from EQ come to mind.

I’m sure others would agree.

I suspect that if item-based run-speed comes into GW2, it will appear as a utility infusion. I know I’d love to have a 25% speed infusion. More would be too much and less would mean I wouldn’t buy it, since signets already do 25% for most classes.

BTW, mesmer works wonderfully with centaur runes. You can have nearly 100% swiftness by combing that with the healing meditation.
