Guild Wars 2

Over the last few months I have picked up on some people moving at roughly 40% speed sometimes without even having the swiftness boon (33% Speed Bonus) and not playing in Desert Borderland (no Shrine Bonus)

Do you think there are people out there running some kind of subtle speed hack allowing them to move at roughly 40% (slightly faster than swiftness) ?

These potential hackers do not “blip” or “Teleport” around on my screen as a result of speed hacking like the obvious hackers do. These subtle hackers can only be detected by measuring their speed vs anothers. I really notice it when in melee combat with them they seem to be able to move around much swifter than I even though I have perma-swiftness or sometimes in a pursuit I notice them pulling away or catching up to me (not using gap closers).

Anyone else have any imput?

Well the obvious question… what are you fighting? Cause druids have 40% speed.

I was certain that trait boosted it even further. Hm, guess I hallucinated that.

Either way, they got 50% speed instead (for 8s) and then of course thieves got 50% speed in stealth. A full gyro scrapper can achieve lengthy 100% speed too.

Revenant can have permanent superspeed (+50%) by rapidly switching legends when out of combat.
even simply switching back and forth between Glint and Shiro gives +50% half the time and +33% the other half, which averages to about +40%
