Rev has swiftness
People want a non combo’d swiftness buff. They all know about this.
This is not a mystery, the problem is how much it takes to do it and the potential downsides. You can get in combat from hitting something far away, or in PvP get jumped with no energy and key skills on CD.
That’s not to mention the “quality” of those blast finishers. For hammer #3 you can’t move and hammer #5 takes so long you can’t really move much or you’ll be out of range of the field.

you need to pause awhile to do so the by the time both blast happen you only have 15 sec swift 5 sec wasted on the delay casting
Not quite that bad though using rune of the pack helps. Thrrow out the road and aim hammer 5 at the end while still moving. The only one you need to really stop for is hammer 3 but you can be past the road since it “moves” you during the skill.
I agree it is a pain and can be cleaned up to be easier to get off.
Didn’t someone work out where you actually travel the same distance if you didn’t stop for the two long cast animations? Hopefully there’ll be some kinda swiftness/mobility dealio with Glint specialization (considering Zephyrites are all based off her).

A lot of posts about lack of swiftness on Rev so here is a tip ppl may not have noticed.
Use the dwarf road then use Hammer 3 and 5 blast finishers to put out aoe swiftness with 100% up time.
A bit of a pain and you need to use hammer and dwarf but it is there.
You shouldn’t have to though, for something as basic as movement speed. It’s also unfair that some classes have access to permanent swiftness, while others don’t – and furthermore, have to rely on using combo finishers, or skills that give temporary swiftness, or resort to sacrificing the runes they want to use, by swapping them out for runes of the traveller or runes of speed just to keep up with everyone else. It’s unnecessary.
Mobility is something that should be available to everyone. Anet just need to give a 25% run signet to ALL professions and be done with it. Shouldn’t be that hard to do IMO.

there are quite a few threads about this. We knew about this from day 1. The combo is clunky and difficult, requires stopping for one of the abilities.
Roy has already confirmed that a swiftness stack is coming, and this is mentioned in quite a few threads so this thread is closed really.
