Boost walking speed
There are no passive movement speed abilities for guardian, but you have a few ways to get swiftness and some gap closers to reduce your travel time:
- Staff 3 (symbol of swiftness) gives you 8s of swiftness with a 15s CD
- Retreat (utility skill) gives you 20s of swiftness but with a 60s CD unless traited (48s instead with superior aria trait)
- Save yourself (utility skill) gives 10s of swiftness; same issue as above
- GS 3 (leap of faith) can leap you forward a decent distance every few seconds
- Sword 2 (flashing blade) can blink you forward a decent distance every few seconds if you can get used to targeting an enemy ahead of you, even if it’s farther than flashing blade’s distance
- Judge’s Intervention (utility skill) can blink you forward 1200 range using the same tactic as above
If you use these in some combination, you can cover ground pretty quickly. I personally use GS and sword/x when I play open world PvE. When I need to run somewhere, I use retreat and mix up GS 3 and sword 2.
greatsword leaps are good for fast movement in pve (autotarget off)
also 1 sword /judge intervention with an target on sight
