It seems fine in PvE, but I was running around WvW, and other than ‘Windborne Speed’ on my staff or ‘Elemental Attunement’ in Arcana, my other Air speed abilities don’t seem to be working.

Two specifically.

The 5 point 10% passive
The 10 point ability “One with Air”

I had just recently spec’d into Air, and could have sworn a few days before the patch everything was working in WvW. Now it doesn’t seem to be working.

I don’t suppose anyone could test that out for me, if you happen to have 10 Air? I suppose it’s possible many don’t.

Thanks.

None of the ele speed traits stack, and none of them are even worth taking since you could have perma swiftness (which is max speed) with the glyph heal and Windborne speed.

One with air certainly works. Makes permanent invisibility run in eb jumpng puzzle nice and easy.

Ok thanks folks. I guess I am seeing things then. I knew they didn’t stack, but I wasn’t feeling very fast with the 10% passive. I usually don’t run ‘One with Air’ on, unless I’m traversing areas in PvE to get on station for whatever I’m going to be doing, since I’m too cheap to teleport. I had just thought to try it in a jumping puzzle and I wasn’t sure if it was working or not.

yeah, 10% is really miniscule, a lot less than you´d expect.

The thing with airspeed is that it’s measured due to the difference between dynamic and static pressure. This means that it will be a relative speed because the local static pressure may vary between the two measuring points of the pitot-static tube.

Oh wait, you meant ingame. Yeah, it’s small but like they said, great for jumping puzzles.

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.
