Guild Wars 2

I noticed that with the specialization preview, every class has had its rez and fall damage traits preserved, but some movement speed traits are completely MIA (windborn dagger, power shoes, etc)

I think the specializations change is a perfect chance to give every class at least one conditional 25% movement speed trait. I suggest the following as possible changes or additions:

Elementalist: Change Zephyr Speed to 15-25% or bring back Windborn Dagger (buffed like the necro trait so you only need one dagger, perhaps merged with Renewing Stamina?).

Necro: Change Speed of Shadows (the movement speed part) to “Increase speed based on the amount of DS you have, up to 25%”.

Ranger: Bring back Agility Training (maybe drop the Spike Trap rez trait, Ranger doesn’t need 2 rez traits, or drop Instinctual Bond and change Pet’s Prowess), and make it something like “Your pet gains 25% movement speed and grants Signet of the Hunt passive effect to nearby allies; 240 radius”

Engineer: Add old Rocket Shoes trait somewhere in Inventions line, Ive always thought it was a great alternative to Speedy Kits

Warrior: Warrior Sprint is fine.

Guardian: Buff Valorious Defense to add “Gain 25% movement speed while under the effects of Aegis”

Mesmer: Change “Compounding Celerity” to “+8% movement speed per inactive illusion, shattering illusions grants them 1s of superspeed per illusion shattered”.

Thief: Something outside of Acro would be nice, like “Lead attacks: Increased damage and speed per initiative”.

If you have your own ideas or agree in general feel free to add input!

Speed boost traits have been taken out? >.>

I guess I’ll be buying travelers runes then as I don’t enjoy crawling across Tyria.

Instead of traits i would rather see each profession gets a slot-skill like
Ele, Ranger, Thief and Necromancer.

they should just make it a permanent 25% speed increase without signet traits or whatever.

I think that the number of options for 25% speed should be based on armor class.

Heavy armor classes should only be able to rune for speed (no traits or skills).
Medium armor classes should have rune and skill options or rune and trait options.
Light armor classes should have rune, skill, and trait options.
