Guild Wars 2

Hello,

My question is, Does quickness increase the placement\animation speed of Bomb kit’s bombs? Or does it only increase skills that need to be Channeled?

Thanks for your time.

Both.

Quickness increases the attack speed of anything, that includes channeled skills.

Quickness will cause the bombs to be placed faster, detonate faster and will also throw off the animation of their combo fields making it seem like the field is persisting long after it actually is. Thus it is wise to get a feel for the length of the actual combo field as opposed to simply waiting off the visual combo field effects when under the effect of Quickness.

It is important to remember that is does NOT decrease cool downs on skills, so if you are trying to use a skill with a 5 second cool down, and only have 3 seconds of quickness, you only get one shot with it.

Focus on your auto-attack for the duration, and it doesn’t influence grenade flight time, so you can keep about 2-3 sets in the air while tossing them.
