Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,

Am I the only one that notices that I slow down sometimes after I take damage, when I’m in combat, etc.?

It really bites me when I’m trying to do a jumping puzzle. Pressure is on because I have a baddie behind me, but he hits me with 1 arrow, no debuffs like cripple or w/e, and all of a sudden my jumping range is like half of what it normally is because I slow down.

Is this intended? It drives me mad. Can you guys help with some tips?

I bound a hotkey to weapon sheathing and drawing, which seems to help. When I sheathe my weapons, sometimes it seems that I return to regular speed.

When you enter combat you do lose a fair amount of speed. You can tell whether you are in combat or not by looking at your utility skills. If they have the little arrow over them allowing you to change them then you are out of combat. Yeah most jumping puzzles are close to impossible if you enter combat, makes some of them very difficult. Even taking fall damage puts you “in combat” for a few seconds. Make sure to keep that in mind

Very useful info, thanks!

You have 130% runspeed out of combat.

Yes, this drives me insane.

Mobs intentionally placed to make jumping puzzles harder I assume.
Especially in the bomb run puzzle…
