Everybody loves Swiftness
How would you feel if Compounding Celerity was reworked to instead provide Temporal Curtain with Improved Swiftness (50% movement speed)?
Now that’s interesting.

That would be kinda neat, and it’d actually make the “Temporal Curtain swiftness doesn’t stack with anything else ever” problem actually justified.
Still, CC is useful as-is in combat; and it doesn’t lock you into a focus like this would. I’d prefer this to just be a straight up rework of Temporal Curtain without needing to trait for it. They could decrease the duration to 8s to compensate, or something.
EDIT: Why game-breaking? Thieves have 50% swift in stealth, engineers get +100% from a utility, elementalists can get it from Air attunement .. there’s nothing inherently game-breaking about faster movement, it just needs to be balanced appropriately.

Now that’s a waste of Anet’s time.
lololol! Seriously, though, Swiftness isn’t a problem on mes. Just carry a 2nd set of gear w/ centaurs + use your healing mantra, and you’re golden. Or you can use travelers instead, or just forget about the whole gear thing and yell at your party members to give you swiftness.
The problem with swiftness/movement speed isnt that mesmers don’t have a lot of it. Rather that everyone else has far to much of it.
Like condi spam, and vigor spam, the future of swiftness will be for it to get toned down. In that case it’ll look a little more like what we have now, which is a burst of swiftness. Kind of like what a temporal curtain boon does now without any boon duration.
