Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen people do this so I know its possible, how do I reliably get swiftness on a lvl 35 elementalist (without some trait I cant access yet). Some vistas are harder without swiftness so having it would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

If you are using dagger/dagger, you could use spec with 10 Arcane with Elemental Attunument, and then 10 Air for Zeryph’s Boon.

That gives you Swiftness when swapping to Air, using Air 5 and 3. And Water 4

If you using staff you can use those same traits too, and you’ll get swiftness with swapping to Air, using Air 4 and Earth 3. Also you should use combos, Air 5 + Arcane Wave (utility) / Eruption will give swiftness.

Elementalist shts out swiftness from every hole.

Glyph of Elemental Harmony (heal) used while in Air attunement also gives Swiftness, just to add to the list above.

lol. that’s a good way to put it.

sorry to threadjack, but kinda similar question….

when building hard into auras, is there a limit to the number of ppl affected by the auras (ie like the updates to warriors shouts)??

cheers.

When applying auras to others, the number of characters it can be applied to is 5 (including yourself). Unless its been fixed in the latest patch, the graphic doesn’t always display, but if they’re in your party, you should see the effects appear in your party list.

i musta read something wrong

i would imagine that make auramentalists slightly less viable??? might have to plan to move along a diff trait line

It would be pretty stupid if you could give Shocking Aura + Fury + Swiftness to an unlimited amount of people.

aura based elementalists are totally viable. the ability to stun anything that hits you? yes. taking 33% less damage? yes PLEASE. the 20% extra crit chance and swiftness are just bonuses. besides, it’s not as if 1 player should be able to control 10+ others in a game like this anyway…

also, permaswiftness is achievable on staff easily by using air 5, arcane wave-ing in it, air 4, and glyph of elemental harmony (one of your heal skills)
