Hey I could’t find an information if Rune of Speed stacks with 25% speed increase from Sigils?

I know that swiftness is the highest that you can get and rune does not stack with it.
but 25% with 5% do they make 30% together ?
is it 5% increase and 25% on top that or vice versa?

Movement speed bonuses don’t stack unless they specifically state they do. The Rune won’t stack with move speed bonuses from signets.

what is the point of this rune then ?
I know in the past it was 7% better swiftness, but 5% that does not stack is nothing.
I don’t know a single case where this could be used.
PvE … 5% faster speed won’t make a difference.
PvP … please
Exploring the world … ya mad.

Since this topic is already opened, I’ll ask here if you won’t mind: What about all these movement bonuses from elementalist’s traits? Do they stack with swiftness?

No they do not. Speed is always the highest value from any one source.

Example:
Thief with…
traited stealth speed (50%)
signet of shadows (
25%)
swiftness (+33%)

When signet of shadows is up, the thief will have 25% bonus speed.

When swiftness is up, signet of shadows will get overridden and the thief will have +33% bonus speed.

When the thief is stealthed, the thief will have +50% bonus speed, regardless of swiftness or signet of shadows being up/ready.
