Guild Wars 2

I tried the combo Signet of the Hunt + Swiftness + Natural Stide while I was doing chest farm at SilverWastes and my speed was the same of the others in the group.
When I wasn’t affected by swiftness I was even slower than them.

Is there some kind of cap on personal speed or the trait doesn’t work as should be?

If I remember right, swiftness is 33% movement speed buff.

Natural Stride is also 33%.

And I don’t think it stacks with Signet of the Hunt.

Somebody correct me if I’m wrong.

movement buffs don’t stack. Only the highest counts.

natural stride: 33%
swiftness: 33%
signet of the hunt: 25% (but also 25% to the pet)

Always thought they stack, thanks

If that’s correct then there is likely a problem. The only thing that should be faster at running than a Druid with Natural stride is anyone with super speed.

Normally, when you have multiple movement speed buffs only the most powerful applies at a given time. I believe this also applies with movement impairing conditions or effects, only the most powerful applies at any given time. A Signet of the Hunt Natural stride Druid should be 33% faster than a normal player and 25% faster than a crippled player.

A Quickdraw, Natural Stride GS/Staff Druid is hilariously difficult outrun.

Max speed is capped at 33%, even superspeed will only give you 33%. Where superspeed is useful is if you are in combat and crippled. Combat = -30% speed, cripple = -33%. Superspeed will make you run as if you had swiftness even when in combat and crippled, this is very useful e.g. getting hit by mobs whilst jumping doesn’t effect you.
