Guild Wars 2

I am a Human Elementalist and since the last major patch I’ve noticed that my speed while in Air Attunement is a lot slower than normal. I’ve tested this with another player extensively and have come to the conclusion that it is stuck (for both our Elementalists) at +10% movement speed.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Cheers

Yes I tested it as well and it has no effect whatsoever as you already get 10% speed buff from a minor trait.

And the minor doesn’t stack with Signet of Air either.

Best to go with quick glyphs trait, boon on glyph use trait and then spam healing glyph for permanent swiftness which is fastest moving speed possible (25%, not 33% like advertised).

The Thieves signet that gives 25% actually gives 20% movement speed. But that’s pretty close to passive permanent swiftness. Soon Rangers will get it too.

I don’t know why Swiftness is advertised to give 33% speed boost while it only gives 25%. Maybe they mean that it improves 33% if the base speed is taken in-combat and once you get out of combat the speed is 33% faster compared to that? Because otherwise it’s 25% for both in and out of combat.

Oh and the Elementalist trait that improves 15% movement speed when wielding a dagger only works with main hand dagger, improves speed by 10% not 15 and only works in combat and doesn’t stack with Swiftness or anything (nothing does, ever) so it’s quite useless as well.

And then there are some Armor Runes that improve speed by 7% while under effects of Swiftness – those do absolutely nothing, in or out of combat, with or without Swiftness.

one with air was working not too long ago.
it would be nice if there was some indicator to show it was on and what level it was…
be nice if it just worked.

I thought it seemed slow after the patch, even seen Warriors running past me which they couldn`t before
wtb fix soon

i KNEW it!!!!
i just started getting more into my perpetually nerfed mesmer, and BOOM.. now im nerfed as an ele.. LOL!

still having a blast tho!

What patch? It was working just last week, as long as you did not use the Signet of Air.

I just checked…necro with 10% ms signet runs just as fast as I do with one with air… That’s a pretty “grrr”-moment…cause i liked the idea(never thought of testing it before, somehow doesn’t feel like it’s actually slower….)….

Hopefully this will see a fix soon, best we can do till then is to keep drawing attention to the issue.
