Why cant we just have the 25% movement speed?
Or at the very least give us a DPS oriented Power / Precision or Power / Ferocity rune set instead of Traveler’s to use. Fundamentally though, it’s pretty horrible design that one class is having to give up combat efficiency (or carry two sets of armor) for what has become the game’s baseline out-of-combat travel speed.
Swiftness > 25%

Then get surprise buttsecks around the corner and you can’t fight properly with your build cause you have a staff and retreat shout that you are not spec’ed into.
With this logic I guess mesmer should wave goodbye to its speed trait in chrono (and they have it in minor grandmaster so they don’t even have to sacrifice any traits).
Why ? Well, just run focus and you’re settled.
Guardian is meant for jolly crusading.

Well I guess mesmer could wave goodbye to its speed trait in chrono (and they have it in minor grandmaster so they don’t even have to choose) cause they can call upon a swiftness wall that gives you full 45 seconds of speed instead of standing in two traited symbols of swiftness to get 45 seconds stack of speed.
Well you switching out one weapon is a lot easier than switching out 6 pieces of armour for the rune bonus, and you could do a lot worse than retreat.
Imagine for a second that the trait gets placed in Honor, are you going to start using that trait line for your dps roamer, or start advising swapping out the trait line before battle, or just keep complaining that you didn’t get Exactly what you want Again….
Conclusion, staff is more than good enough we do not need a 25% move speed and if we get one I hope it is in the most awkward place possible just to spite all of you ;-)
Im okay with this being in Honor, this is not an awkward trait line at all
If you zerg then keeping perma swift with retreat and SoS is quite nice, but this is quality of life.
It gets boring to die (while solo roaming) just because you can’t swap utility and weapon to fight for 100% of your true capability. But well… it’s just a minor thing, let’s just stick to that perma swiftness of ours.

Yes sure. But no thanks.

Quoted for truth ^
If they were going to put an effect somewhere that granted +25% run speed I’d say it should be on signet of wrath as a passive.
Makes sense, passive boosts your run speed & the active immobilizes the enemy.
That or just make some more runes with run speed, runes with power, precision & condi damage as stats (each accordingly)]]
actually ive finally figured a way of roaming wiht guardian wihtout trav runes that doesn involve swapping anything, pack runes + spring roll food + agility sigil, i can stack 7 minutes swiftness
I agree every class has a 25 percent increase now since Mesmer got with cronomancer. Guardians should not be forced to give up our runes to replace them with travelers.
