I don’t have any pictures, but I hopped on after not getting on in a long time. (GW2 has been slowly getting less optimized on my machine. I now have to run on subsample to not get a headache from 8 fps at peak.)

I have a Sigil of Speed on my Focus that I’ve had since… well, since I got that Focus, which was a long time ago. My reasoning was that I wanted my Focus to go fast and it would help me go fast. Of course, it wasn’t a very good idea at the time as it stopped me from synchronizing Temporal Curtain cooldowns and made it a pain (just like Signet of Inspiration or someone giving you 2s of swiftness with a skill).

However, I don’t know if this was recent, but I was just killing things in low level areas with some friends and I took a peak at my Swiftness after taking a pit stop to sell and it was at 3 minutes. I popped on Signet of Inspiration and started killing things as fast as possible. I managed to get up to 6 minutes before stopping and Signet of Inspiration gave around 1-3 minutes of swiftness with each usage (I think it’s 2 minutes 20 seconds per Signet of Inspiration and then you just keep re-casting it whenever it’s up).

Probably a bug, but this is a cheaper alternative than getting Runes of the Traveler, so I thought I’d let you guys know.
