Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one that incorporates “One with Air” (air magic trait IV) into their WvW build?

My understanding is that it ignores movement impairing effects that slow you (not roots) and brings you up to the in combat speed cap for 1.5 seconds.

Is my understanding of the mechanic correct?

Thanks in advance!

it makes you move at 200% normal movement speed in combat. If you use it while crippled it will do 150% normal movement speed. The trait is okay for scepter builds and okay for staff builds. Dagger builds not as much.

Thanks so much for the response!

I use it man, one with air and fgs is an amazing escape tool.

Thanks for the response. I find it to be an invaluable escape mechanism, but rarely see anyone talking about it.

IMO One with Air is a pretty decent skill for 1v1s. They give you an edge which makes it much easier to kite warriors and thieves that like to gap close and stay on your nuts. It’s also realllllllly fun to use FGS 3 and attune to air. you get about 50% more distance out of the whirl that way.

typically it’s good with FA builds too because the uptime on bolt to the heart is not as good compared to having better mobility and staying offensive against builds that use alot of soft cc to kite/harass.

Not a bad idea to use while roaming. In PvP I even went through a phase of running it, but for the role I play, Bolt to the Heart is just to good :/. I love the trait though.
