Guild Wars 2

Too much of our swiftness is tied to a weapon or being in combat. This results in taking the signal to run around.

Can we get tail wind to work even when we are not in combat? Would that really hurt anything?

Lol they won’t let you stack swiftness ooc. That’s pretty funn to suggest though. Hey, caj mighty swap work ooc too? What about furious grip? It’s not OP to enter combat with 25 stacks might on pet and max stack of fury and swiftness, right? That’s totally not OP.

Originally Tail wind and Furious Grip didn’t have an internal CD so you could stack them by picking up bundles in combat.

Other sources of swiftness for ranger…

Out-of-combat: warhorn 5, rampage as one, traited shouts

Tagging critters: storm spirit

If mobs are nearby: I think you can manipulate the birds first ability

Item dependent: centaur runes (I’m addicted to these)

And if you’re willing to settle for +25% speed rather than +33%, you have signet of the hunt, runes of traveler, or runes of speed (did these get fixed?).

There’s a lot of options. I always thought rangers had pretty good access to swiftness.
