Guild Wars 2

How about giving us more swiftness duration there? Or shorter blink cool down. Or both?

The swiftness we get from signet of inspiration doesn’t even stack with the swiftness from curtain if we place curtain after the signet proc.

From the viewpoint of PvE and mapping, we’re the slowest class for getting around even when traited for shortened cool downs.

Thats why you use speed/travelers runes, or if not lvl 60 the sigil of speed worked pretty nice for me stacking up nearly 2 min of swiftness by killing a few mobs for a heart or smthing.

I agree that I find it annoying in how it doesn’t stack with pre-existing Swiftness. I understand that they don’t want you to just run back and forth through the field, which is why it has the limitation in the first place, but there must be better ways of resolving that. Only triggering once per x amount of seconds. Create a new conditional that states you can only gain an effect out of a line within x amount of time. If you run through a line field, it adds the conditional, during it’s existence, you can not gain the effect of running through the line field again, before it ticks off.

I do see how it’s a perk that it doen’t have a cap on the amount of targets that can pass through it. But it’s still annoying having it feel absolutely useless in say WvW, where there’s a huge number of sources blasting Static Fields and throwing down Swiftness fields. It’d be nice to feel like you can contribute a bit, beyond pulling people off walls.

Actually Signet of Inspiration and Temporal Curtain do stack. Just gain the Swiftness from Temporal Curtain before the Interval of Signet of Inspiration.

But otherwise, I feel like Temporal Curtain’s Swiftness should be buffed a bit.

Any Swiftness stacks with the overall short-duration Swiftness you can gain from Temporal Curtain. It’s the other way around that’s annoying, and that helps make it feel relatively useless within places like World vs. World, or when there is anyone else able to provide Swiftness for that matter, in any game mode.

Temporal Curtain needs to play nice with other sources of Swiftness. As it is if you already have some group Swiftness you can’t extend it with Temporal Curtain, which is stupid: it’s essentially wasted in any group. Plus since SoI doesn’t have an indicator on its ICD and Temporal Curtain requires you to place it then run across it, too often I’d put down Temporal Curtain and get Swiftness from SoI just before I cross it, essentially replacing its 12s Swiftness with SoI’s 5s.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

One of the reasons I’m looking forward to Chronomancer is so I don’t have to deal with Temporal Curtain and SoI ever again.
