Guild Wars 2

Thief skill Signet of shadows in passive mod 25% speed, not working properly in combat. In a fight when I got hit or atack someone else my speed gets to normal as skill was never active and still shutdown until I get out of combat, no mather if I have full health or not. I have no other negative conditions on me but speed is not affected by skill, tested with friend warrior class in pve, when in combat my speed was same as his, then I get out of combat and my speed significaly raised..

All classes slow down when in combat. When you have the signit of shadows, and you enter combat, you slow down to a bit slower than a class that’s not in combat’s speed.

You are still going faster, it’s just since the amount you slow down by is a percentage, it affects people who are moving faster more.

Useless as it is at the moment. I think they should grant thieves at least normal speed during combats. Or they should edit the skill description, including “grants 25% speed increase while out of combat”.

I have seen a difference in the in-combat speed with the signet. after the 2012-10-07 patch, it definetly seems to be slower.
