Guild Wars 2

I’ll post this here since it didn’t seem to gather much traction in another thread, but the revenant DOES have access to “perma-swiftness”, of sorts, and can actually be faster overall out of combat than a class with perma-swiftness (not counting mobility skills).

So I’m not sure if this is intended design, but if you trait for Resistance upon using a Malyx utility skill and to remove a condition on legend swap, you can use Unyielding Anguish at max target length, swap to a separate legend (this will refill your energy level – and with Shiro you could use Impossible Odds until you run out of that energy – making this mobility option even faster. It also removes the Cripple from Unyielding Anguish before the Resistance from the Demonic Defiance trait runs out), swap back to Malyx, refilling your energy to 50 again, and repeat this rotation to essentially leap constantly – which is slightly (but noticeably) faster than someone with 100% swiftness uptime, though it requires much more work to keep doing – so long as you stay out of combat.

For those that need a more visual representation, here’s what you need:

• Legendary Demon Stance
• Demonic Defiance from the Corruption trait line
• Cleansing Channel from the Invocation trait line

The rotation is as follows:
Unyielding Anguish > Swap Legends > (optional use of a reverse Riposting Shadows or Impossible Odds) > Swap Legends > Repeat

Hope that helps some of you with your mobility woes. It’s certainly a lot more work than simply having ample swiftness uptime, but it’s definitely an option for out-of-combat mobility.

You can also do this rotation twice when escaping combat before triggering a cooldown on legend swap, making it an escape option in-combat while also making it very hard for most classes to follow you as you escape – especially through choke points like the stairs leading away from mid in Legacy of the Foefire.

EDIT: As a bonus, it looks hilarious.
