Guild Wars 2

So currently every class except Mesmer has reliable swiftness or 25% runespeed signet.
I was thinking a simple fix that would help mesmers keep up would be to change the way signet of inspiration works out of combat to have an increased chance to cast swiftness .. maybe 4 times greater chance for swiftness while not in combat.

It still wouldn’t always proc but i think it would be a great improvment on current situations

there are alrdy 2 threads about this.

Imho there should be more – this really is an issue!

Yes there should be more. Out of combat speed really should be fair across all professions period. After the patch we are by far the slowest of them all.

take signet of inspiration make the passive 25% movement speed and and the active effect when u activate it u gain all boons for 5s. thier. problem solved. then maybe you will see more mesmers using signets WIN !

Well i have one very simple solution.
Reduce cooldown on blink.

No thanks that is a band aid fix and a poor one at that… I like that inspiration does other buffs too because they are nice to have entering combat. Enough threads about this already… but we need a better solution like other classes have, the only semi reliable swiftness we have requires us to sacrifice our offhand to use the dang scepter all the time… I am tired of it, but I can’t stand how slow we are.

Why not alter the Inspiration Trait “Compounding Celerity” effect?

You and your Illusions have a +25% bonus to speed. The bonus decreases by 8% for each active illusion for you (but not for your Illusions).

(Likely would need a name change to fit better though.)

That’s not a bad idea, I kind of like it, that would allow us to move better out of combat and allow our clones/phantasms to move better while in combat… if I am reading correctly.
