Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed that my swiftness buffs, whether it’s coming from my Temporal Curtain or my Signet of Inspiration or Chaos Storm, the buff does not increase in duration if these effects stack on me. If I had swiftness on me and someone else gives me more, it still doesn’t stack duration.

My elementalist has no issues stacking the swiftness until it’s ridiculous and I’ve seen engineers with their perma-swiftness run laps around me.

Is this a known issue and is it limited to the mesmer class? Thanks.

AFAIK no swiftness initiated by us stacks. It’s like we’re meant to be slower or something. Ha.

Once upon a time, you could drop temporal curtain and run back and forth across it, stacking swiftness each time. Devs saw that players used it this way and “fixed” it to make that impossible.

isn’t there a guardian skill that drops a well to grant swiftness, you can keep running pass it and your swiftness get refreshed (not stacked). can’t they do the same thing? given how unpredictable the swiftness is from signet when you throw down a temporal curtain during critical situation to get the buff and you don’t (cause u have 1s left on swiftness) it’s hilariously dumb.

Symbol of Swiftness used to stack as Temporal curtain did. And now it only refreshes it to 8 sec.

I think that now every speed signet got buffed, the devs could remove the stacking limitation. That someone should do forward and backwars movements during 10 sec in order to get 40sec shouldn’t be considered as an exploit. There are several ways to get perma swiftness.
