Guild Wars 2

Okay I am just perplexed here. I have the following and am not at all sure why I am not feeling"faster" at all.

Elementalist with 2 handed staff – I have the Signet of air +10%. I have the Air trait number 4 One with Air that at 50 seconds should give me +25% increase. I also have the staff that is 33% increase.

Now I have ran without anything enabled and NOT attuned to air from point A to point B and I get 10 seconds.
I have changed to air and waited 1 minute and ran from point A to point B and I got there in 9 seconds.
I have changed to air and waited 1 minute and used the windbourne speed and ran from point A to point B and I got there in 6 seconds.
I then ran from point A to point B with attuned to air but no Signet and no One with Air and I got there in 9 seconds.
I then ran from point A to point B with attuned to air but no Signet and no One with Air and just used the windbourne speed and I got there in 6 seconds.

Just for fun I also did this in town and by a speed boost person and the speed bost person AND the windbourne speed do seem to stack.

This is telling me that something is broken with the Sigil speed increase and the One with Air speed increase. What is it that makes those speed increases so much less than the inherent staff skill that gives a 30% speed increase?

Possible diminishing returns with each marginal speed bonus you stack?

Not sure how exactly you would figure out the math behind it but I am assuming you don’t want to use the signet of air and the trait together, since you prob don’
t get half as much as you should by using just one of the skills.
I think in combat and out of combat movement speed are totally different mathematically.
But if I had to guess signet and trait are probably all based off your base movement speed with a diminishing return, so if you have 100 movement speed it would do 100+(100*0.1)+(50 * 0.25)? just wildly guessing tho

I’m pretty sure movespeed max is what swiftness gives (33%) and it only stacks in duration. Highest speed modifier overwrites everything else. So if you got 10% boost, 25% boost and on top of that swiftness, you still move at max of swiftness.
