So just to clarify, RO increases attack speed (swinging weapon) and SS increases movement speed (distance covered). Correct?

Also, if i am using the Rune of the traveler which already provides a 25% movement increase, is SS even worth having?

I don’t think anyone takes Speed of Shadows for the movement speed boost. It’s main thing is the Shroud recharge decrease.

Really hard to justify the trait overall because of its competition, but yeah that’s why its taken.

@OP you are correct. And no if you have any permanent speed boost you don’t need any others.

I take it on Reaper. Unyielding Blast ain’t worth the slot on Reaper unless you’re the sort of plebeian who uses Decimate Defenses and I don’t use Staff so Soul Marks does diddly.

Movement speed bonuses do not stack in intensity. The highest one takes priority.

I take Speed of Shadows on reaper as well, the reduced recharge on DS has helped me a lot.

Just to be clear, you’re talking about PvP/WvW right?

Well yes. Mostly. I slot it for a handful of fractal encounters.

Decimate is amazing so long as you can build the vuln, which basically means any RS build using Unyielding, any spite build, or just PvE group in general.
