Guild Wars 2

I think Rune of the Traveler is a decent option to solve movement speed issues. Rune of Speed is kind of ‘meh’. I think there should be a rune with a sixth bonus that grants 25% movement speed and has power as its main stat. I think some professions have problems that can be solved with enhanced mobility. For example, Chronomancer gives Mesmers 25% movement speed. Their ability to navigate quickly through Tyria and between conquest points in PvP isn’t the only improvement better mobility gave them. I know many developers at ANet don’t want to give certain professions good mobility naturally, so how about at least making a rune that focuses on power and passive mobility? I think that’s a good compromise. I bet it makes more builds viable too, just because mobility won’t be an issue anymore…

I’m dead serious about the build I use. I use Traveler runes for open world PvE and also in PvP. I do have another gear set with scholar runes. My signature states I’m a Guardian

It would just be a cheap way to get permaspeed without disadvantages.
I think they should just fix Runes of Speed removing redundant Swiftness Boon with something more useful and would be a bit more popular.

Just an example:
1: +25 Vitality
2: +35 Precision
3: +50 Vitality
4: 25% chance when struck to gain Quickness for 3 seconds. (Cooldown: 45 sec)
5: +100 Vitality
6: -20% Movement Condition Duration applied to you, +25% Movement Speed

If you’re using Traveler type runes, you clearly aren’t too serious about the build you’re running, even if it had power.
I’m guessing you’re a guardian.

Well, he is free to choose his own build.
I’m guessing you’re an elitist.

I like you.

I would loooove Speed runes if they had the 1-6 bonuses you listed.

If you don’t care about damage or other benefits, there are lots of ways to give any prof long-lasting swiftness. In target-rich environments, sigils of swiftness build up lots of speed, there are lots of cheap boon-duration foods, and even budget runes with +swift or +boon duration. There are also toys, such as the executioner’s axe, that will move you quickly around.

It’s all a matter of how much effort you’re willing to put in to increase mobility and what you’re willing to sacrifice for it.

You’re right, there are a lot of options to obtain movement speed bonuses, but what you mentioned either doesn’t work in all game modes or would take the place of something that’s actually good. That’s why I recommended a rune with power as its main stat. It’d be a good alternative for professions that lack an optimal (optimal!) access to swiftness.

Guardian staff does not have a place in PvP or raiding (as far I know)

By all means he can run what he likes. It’s no skin off my nose. My suggestion would be to take Pack runes instead. You get +30% swiftness duration (which is easy to come by on a guardian), power as the main rune stat and +6% crit chance. Passives are overrated to be honest, but its harder to see when you are on a profession that lacks it.

It’s here

New PvP-only Rune: Rune of the Lynx: +175 power, +100 Condition Damage, +25% Movement Speed
