Guild Wars 2

well, the wiki sais: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Warrior%27s_Sprint

i have tested it, as much as i have necro and ele. and their corresponding speed bonus skill/trait/whatever is visible (no pun intended) as both a boon and visual effect AND actually visible in game. – yea your character runs faster.
now, i’m greatsword&dualaxes so if those don’t qualify as meelee…. what does ? boxing gloves ?

does everybody experience this ?
My question is, does this actually work ? because by not noticing anything visually on my character i can’t really tell. It would be nice to have some indicator somewhere that tells us what stuff is enabled and what not.
This somehow vaguely reminds me of security via obscurity concept but that’s another story.

When in battle i switch to bow/rifle i feel running slower

Thats an animation issue. on my human warrior if I swap to a bow i start to take longer more loping strides. I’m still going the same speed (no warriors sprint trait) but I feel slower because the legs are moveing slower. I’ve done footraces with folks with no run buffs swaping between sword/shield and longbow along the way. stayed even with the other player the whole way reguardless of weapon but longbow still felt slower while doing it.
