getting the most running speed
Travelers runes do not stack with other speed bonuses. They are significantly cheaper now than a while back, and their is some benefit to them. I don’t think I would waste gold on them though.
Superior Traveler and Speed runes will both give you 25% bonus to movement speed. Skills will give you 33%. So the runes are fast but skills are faster.
For pure speed Rune of Speed is better than Traveller as it gives you a bonus to Switness Duration as well, so you can run at 33% for longer.
Swiftness skills do stack in duration. So you can just spam the hell out of any skill that gives you swiftness when running.
well I’m a revenenant so all I got is impossible odds lvl 71, I don’t have swiftness unless it comes with herald at lvl 80 idk
Hmmm… Never played Rev but it looks like you are right! That’s crazy! Geez I thought us Guards had it bad.
Looks like it’s runes for you! Don’t worry about the difference between 25% and 33% It’s barely noticeable.
If you can use the stats from Travelers, I like them a lot more than Superior Rune of Speed. Yeah, Speed will give you +30% swiftness duration, but when you have a permanent 25% increase to movement speed, swiftness becomes a lot less valuable. (Movement bonuses generally don’t stack, so you’d only go 33% faster, not 58% faster.)
Meanwhile, with Traveler runes, you get bonuses to all stats, including condition duration (10%) and boon duration (15%.) Swiftness is a boon, so Rune of Speed really doesn’t have much of an advantage even in that department.

Herald has a Facet that offers permanent Swiftness. Until then you’re SOL.
you could also get superior centaur runes and spam your heal skill every 10 sec for perma swiftness boon(33% faster movement). They are also really cheap.

Would not waste gold on runes if you are lvl 71. At lvl 80 you will have a constant speedbuff through the facet of elements. Just wait for that and it is all solved.
At 80 AND after unlocking Herald. Not hard, but not so quick…

Buy spring rolls off the TP. Boon/swiftness duration, find some mobs around you when you get on the map, murder em all, proceed to run around with 5+ minutes of swiftness.
When I leveled my rev I spammed phase traversal on enemies out of range or on ambient creatures (for axe offhand), and about-face riposting shadows. Doing that, swiftness was never a concern.
sigil of speed. you’re welcome
