Guild Wars 2

Stalwart Speed
When you grant aegis or stability, grant quickness (2s).
Cooldown: 5 seconds

This trait grants quickness for each stack of stability. So, Stand Your Ground is 10 seconds of quickness every 24 seconds (traited with Pure of Voice).

With alacrity, its cooldown is 18 seconds, so with 80% boon duration, you can have perma quickness at 600 AoE with 1 button.

With100% boon duration it’s almsot permanent.

That’s not intended so it’s definitely not a nerf if it comes around.

That sounds like an unintended bug.

It’s also sadly the only way to have perma quickness without wanting to kill yourself by aiming kittenty cones.

I think its intended there’s some other text at the bottom of the skill saying can grant it simultaneously or something which I think counts towards the stacks so 5 instances of stab gives 5 instances of quickness. It’s without a doubt insane though between that the Shout elite and the mantra plus heal skill granting quickness if traited the up time is insane.

I’m pretty sure the intention is stack it on multiple people, not multiple times on the same person. Once this gets fixed, good bye perma quickness without dealing with incredibly stupid design getting in the way.

The entire quickness thing is messed up, some skills that individually give you quickness wont stack quickness if quickness is already applied.

This. We don’t need one broken trait for quickness generation, we need working mantra skills.

I would not call it nerfs either as it’s still just beta trials. The two things we can count on getting adjusted are the quickness and burn damage.
