Guild Wars 2

Temporal Curtain works when you walk through it and gives the swiftness buff. According to the tooltip it stacks duration. If you run through Temporal Curtain first and then through a guardians symbol, or another mesmers Temporal Curtain, the duration does not stack, its ends on the original duration timer.

this is working as intended as far as we know so you cannot stack a lot of swiftness by running through it multiple times. i’m not sure why they wouldn’t at least let it apply 1 duration of swiftness though.

The guardian symbol and temporal curtain have some sort of “tick” timer for when it should grant swiftness. Thus, if you run through it at the wrong time it won’t apply swiftness. I’m pretty sure this is the reason why you’re not stacking the duration.

There are times when after I run through my temporal curtain, someone uses a speed skill and it refreshes my swiftness. However, there has never been a case for me when my swiftness was refreshed by another temporal curtain.

I can understand not having the duration stack, but letting the swiftness of one curtain refresh the swiftness from another would be very nice. So many times in WvW I run through another curtain just before my swiftness runs out and get nothing from it, so I end up losing my swiftness and trailing behind.

the issue im seeing is the temporal curtain wont work at all if you have any swiftness running through it…otherwise it works just fine
