Guild Wars 2

So the tooltip on signet of the hunt states that it passively gives 25% movement increase to you and your pet but after you equip it, by mousing over the boon above the utility bar it clearly states that the movement increase is 10%, while if you select the pet it doesn’t even specifies a percentage.

When i boon myself with swiftness i notice a major increase in speed, which leads me to believe that the actual speed is 10% while it would be awsome to have the 25% similiar to other professions.

you run at 25% even it write 10%.

But when I run backwalk I didnt get the bonus, it’s normal?

Unless they nerfed thieves signets down to 25% and pretended to just buff ours, it’s making us run at 25%, and keep in mind, 8% movement speed is still a fairly good chunk in GW2, especially while out of combat.

This skill use to only give a 10% increase guess they forgot to update boon icon tip.

As for running backwards you run at a different speed.

well either way, Bug Report has been filed, it’s either a functional bug or a tooltip bug (on the boon tooltip), i really hope the latter.

It’s only the boon tooltip, there is a very clear increase in speed compared to the previous 10% it used to give.

Did quantitative testing today. 25% confirmed.

the tooltip needs udpated 25% speed. the theif is also 25% speed. I ran side by side with their signet and is the same. when he gets speedboost, then he gets that extra 8% running speed and gets ahead. at least you can keep up speed on 90% of the time with the birds.- horn – 3 greatsword. that -swoop is awesome.

thieves can travel at +50% while stealthed, i’ll just let that sink in.

pets run faster than +50% with SotH and much faster than that with Sick’Em active, i’ll just let that sink in as well =D

yeah, pets run faster than players do, wanna know how to test this? hit F1 as you’re closing in on an NPC it’ll freaking book it and get to the mob long before you do.

Not to mention that when me and my friend (whose a thief with the stealth trait) CnDed me and i just targeted him and hit “sick’em” and the pet closed the gap, and knocked him to the floor before his stealth ended despite him running 50% faster than i can in the opposite direction (well 25% because i use SotH)

i may have to test this.
i don’t like sick’em in WvW because you can lose track of you target pretty fast, and therefore your pet as well negating the effect of the skill, i’d rather use SotW or SoS.

Actually once you hit Sick’em your pet is locked to your target (like a phantasm) until you give it a new command (F1-F4/ another shout), the timer runs out, or the target dies, if they stealth your pet will wait for them to reappear and continue the attack, clones generation I haven’t recently tested.

Do you mean stand on the spot and wait or does he follow? (I obviously haven’t tested) I assume he stands and waits (but I’m praying he’s tracking) thing is some NPCs track you in stealth I noticed this on my thief alt when running into some wolves if I first aggro them and stealth I didn’t lose aggro instead they were like glue on me but waited to attack until the stealth wore off, highly annoying I might add >.<

I noticed something like this, sick’em will keep them locked on the target even if they disappear.
