Q:

Is there a cap on the maximum movement speed? For PvE traveling, I want to cap my movement speed so I am using the following:

Signet of Air (10%)
Zephyr’s Speed (10% while in Air)
One With Air (25% while in Air)
Windborne Dagger (15% while having a dagger)
Swiftness (33%)

Technically, if all of those stack, I should be able to get 193% movement speed (swiftness is not passive and only gotten randomly…more ideally is 60% passive.

Do all of these stack?

A:

They do not stack. They use the largest number as the passive effect. So if you took all our speed boost traits you’d max at 25% speed increase. That is, of course, if that trait actually did what it said it did. Which is does not. It’s broken. Which makes our greatest passive speed boost 15% from Windborn daggers which I THINK also doesn’t work as intended. So we’re stuck with the 10% increase from Zephyr’s Speed and Air Signet. So what I’m saying is, if you want any noticable passive speed increase roll a thief, who actually DO have a 25% speed increase available 24/7, not just when attuned to air, ala their signet.

You can get permanent Swiftness though. Grab quick glyphs and Inscription from the air line and you’ll be able to get 26 seconds of Swiftness on a 20 second Cooldown using Glyph of Elemental Harmony. And just like that your travel speed is the maximum speed in the game at 33% increase. And you get all the actual utility of having really strong boons and a strong, low cooldown heal all rolled into one!

Don’t waste traits on our passive bonuses. They are beyond pointless.

Max you can get is 33% So yes, every single one of those traits are beyond useless.

movement speed buffs do not stack at all with any other movement speed buffs

So signet of air + zephyr’s speed won’t give 20%?

What about zerphyr+one with air, will it go 10% + 5% every 10 seconds upto 25%?

one with air works. havent tested it thoroughly but basic observation shows that its faster than 10% and increases in speed as time goes by.
