Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been trying to get super swiftness on my guardian

I use retreat and save yourselves, then run into a symbol of swiftness, and get 9 seconds of swiftness

When SoS is back up and I run into it again, I don’t get 9 more seconds! I get nothing.

As if my second SoS doesn’t buff me. This will persist until swiftness is completely gone.

Is this by design?

SoS is pulse skill, when u already have swiftness (whether from an earlier pulse or another source) u only receive 1 additional second of swiftness per pulse

Is this new? all of the “permanent swiftness” threads suggest using SoS twice, to add duration…

Annoyed me for some time now. I usually wait until my swiftness runs out before laying down SoS. Really it should be stacking its full duration but I guess the way the skill works is as yuD said. The game doesn’t know if the current swiftness came from SoS.

Sitting in SoS for its duration will give you 9+1+1+1+1 of swiftness. If they didn’t do it this way then it would be 9+9+9+9+9 which of course is overpowered.

Really though this is a limitation in the game mechanics.

Yeah swiftness not stackimg really kittens me off.

Swiftness is really useful whe standing still.

Use symbol of swiftness first, then your shouts.
