Guild Wars 2

So, the tempest has gotten a change I didn’t even notice on day one of HoT, namely the movement from earthen proxy towards the grandmaster minor trait; Hardy Conduit. This makes Hardy Conduit a lot better and more interesting. This leaves Speedy Conduit, it’s just bad. Most tempest builds will have plenty off access to swiftness already. Now if we compare the traits; they both give a duration-stacking boon with a 33% effectiveness while overloading.

So, for the new Speedy Conduit:

Speedy Conduit: Gain swiftness while overloading an attunement. Swiftness has increased effectiveness (20%).

This primarily has its use in sPvP, where it allows the tempest to chase down or escape from other characters with swiftness. However, it will still remain inferior to superspeed, like it should.

I like to hear you guys’ opinion!

That may be way to powerful 40% ms is kind of big seeing how tempest can keep 100% self swiftness. How about a +5% faster cast speed when you have swiftness up like the rev faster attk speed.

The movement speed is capped with swiftness when out of combat, so this really only has its place in combat. Compare it to a fresh-air ele that has 100% swiftness uptime and 50% superspeed uptime in combat. I honestly don’t think it is broken at all.
