Guild Wars 2

Hello

I recently started leveling a guardian and while combat is much easier than my previous leveling experiences, what I have found is that I lack a way to get run speed increases.

Currently I am swapping to staff and using 3 to gain swiftness for about 60% uptime I believe it is, and I stack that with retreat, but retreat is a minute cooldown so I still find myself running places at a slow pace.

Is there an easy way I can maintain perma swiftness while leveling? General advice on where to put my trait points is also appriciated, so far I have been putting them into power line for dps. I am level 16 currently.

+swiftness on kill runes, then resort to staff for long runs w/o mobs.

I use sigils of speed even at level 80. I usually have close to permanent swiftness in pve.

2 runes of the pack + 2 runes of speed + staff (+boon duration trait if you wish)

I dont remember if another rune x2 give you swifness duration.

superior aria (honor 10 trait) —> retreat, save yourselves, symbol of swiftness.

Thank you all for the replies. I am loving the sigils of speed. Combined with those two shouts and staff swapping I get around…

With a staff on swap and using “Retreat”/“Save Yourselves”, I typically have probably 80-90% swiftness uptime on my Guardian. Just make sure to use the staff swiftness before your shouts since the staff swiftness only adds 1 second swiftness instead of 7 if you already have swiftness up.
