Guild Wars 2

Sorry never played an engineer. Only level 20ish and wondering if we can have perma sprint? I heard someone say that in /map but when I asked them, they had logged.

Thanks

At level 20 you can with the speedy kits trait in the last line. Every time you use a kit it casts a 5-second swiftness (on a 5-second cooldown) – thus allowing for perma-swiftness.

Choose the speedy kit trait and use the med pack. Everytime you click on the heal slot (or other kit) you will gain 5-second swiftness ( with 5 sec colldown). :-)

Ah thanks! Sounds like a must have for Wpvp

With some +boon duration or +swiftness duration you can also build up more than 5 seconds at a time so over time you can accumulate a decent buffer even if for some reason you can’t swap exactly on the 5 second mark. Not to mention of course throwing in things like medkit 5 or elixer b to get a bit of a buffer.

Speedy Kits is a huge must have for WvW, and to a lesser extent sPvP and PvE. I hope they never change it!

Speedy kits + med kit skill #5.

One of the elixirs (X? The blue one) gives swiftness, so with elixir recharge (and the resulting boon duration) plus the stim pack from the medkit, you can keep it up quite a while as well. I use it in WvW since I didn’t want points in the last trait line. Can’t remember whether or not it’s 100% uptime though.

You can get it from a straight elixir build as well. B + throw B + the occasional H if throw B is being fickle. Take both 20% elixir traits. It’s easy to get over a minute of swiftness stacked up and you don’t need to swap kits every 5 seconds while fighting.

I have had some crazy stacking of swiftness due to the “Auto drink Exilir B @ 75%” trait. Let’s say a fight ends with me auto-drinking and then I drink a manual Elixir B, I am left with well over a minute of swiftness.

I have recently given up the addictive drug that we all call “Speedy Kits”.

6/6 superior rune of the centaur 10 seconds of swiftness triggers on med-kit as well.

I gave up speedy kits a while ago as well. There are better ways to spend points in traits. You can still gain highly available up time swiftness by using the correct kits if all you want is to move quickly from point to point in open WvW.

Speedy kits is one of the better ways to have swiftness out of combat I think.
It’s great for moving about when not actually fighting. You don’t always want to waste an elixir just to get to a point fast, where you might actually need the other buffs of that elixir the moment you arrive… and than it’s on cooldown.

In combat itself, there are other options.
Speedy kits is than just one of the easier options to use, since it’s automatic on using any kit at all.

The Med Kit speed potion is stackable. You can lay down 3 of them before the first one is used up. That will give you about 30 seconds. If you keep laying down more every cooldown, you can get roughly 1 minute of Swiftness.

Using the trait that gives you Might while you have Swiftness..it’s pretty much prema Might during a PvP match. Good times.

lol, you could have run half way to where you were going by the time you’ve put three of those down. :P
