Guild Wars 2

Just got the glide skill and it seems cool but do you have any pitch to it? Can you move up or down at all?

You glide down, of course. You can be lifted up on updrafts, once you’ve unlocked that Mastery. You can speed up, and slow down…again, after unlocking the appropriate Mastery.

You can read all about gliding in the Wiki via the link above.

Good luck.
