Guild Wars 2

I know it wasn’t working in the past, and most certainly doesn’t seem
to double speed now.

Anyone else notice a difference?

It did work in past and still does. 210 ms is infight speed and with super speed 420.

I am not sure what your referring to. I have used it regularly off and on, and I have never known it to be bugged.

It does work but the tooltip is incorrect. “Double speed” does not literally happen unless you are in combat. Out of combat, it should be essentially the same as swiftness, if I recall correctly.

Another way of saying it is that double the in-combat speed is about the same as swiftness out-of-combat.

Slick shoes does work. There is a 33% limit on speed outside of combat, so using it will seem like you have swiftness. In combat, characters move slower and therefore 50% will be much more noticeable. You will move faster than someone with swiftness in combat.

No it is also 420 ms out of combat while swiftness is 400 out of combat. It seems like 420 ms is generally ms-cap.

Thanks for clearing that up, didn’t know that!

the super buff applies only in combat out of combat the max speed is +33% same as swiftness

It definitely works. Try carrying the orb in Spirit Watch with it. One of the best utilities for that map (if bunker, of course).

where did you get this from?

Rezzet.3614:

Not true, actually your rocket boots jump further with super-speed then with swiftness out of combat. And you jump exactly 5% further which is exactly 20 ms more then swiftness (400ms). YOu just may not notice this just by walking.
