Q:

Quick question: Does the +25% movement speed from Runes of the Traveler stack with Compounding Celerity?

It would seem a bit overpowered if so, but I’m just wondering if anyone has tested this.

A:

Movement speed boosts do not stack in any instance, full stop. Only the highest boost value will be applied.

Wrong pyro. Especially incombat. In wvw either 50% of enemies use speedhacks OR it stacks in combat. For 20 sec neither me or enemies use leap skills. I have swiftness, they have speed signet. (ele). But he’s also in lightning attunement (thus the trait minor can boost it 10%). He kept getting closer to me without EVER using a speedskill (RTL, burning speed). I had perma swiftness wich should be the cap. It wasn’t. And this happened not just a few times, but a hell of a lot of times. So I doubt it’s hacking.

PS only talking incombat, out of combat, 33% swiftness is hardcap only possible boost seems ‘runes of speed’.

It’s possible he was running Ina straighter line than you or he dropped combat or something else…there’s a lot of variables there.

I was under the impression they stacked but capped at 33%. not sure on overflow canceling speed decreasers though. Wiki says its some of the traits that can stack if that helps.

I’ve been chased on my warrior so many times, and so many times 4 people (different profs, so hard to all have the same speedhacks at same time), they managed to close on on me without leap skills, while me having swiftness. I use ‘look back over shoulder’ button all the time, i’m sure i haven’t missed anything.

About combat, the moment I drop out of combat they do to, and vice versa, so that should not be possible.
