Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, looked for duplicate, didn’t find any so:

When out of combat: I roam with focus solely for the speed boosts, and the signet of inspiration for random speed buffs.

I noticed however that IF i obtained a boost from signet of inspiration FIRST, then no matter how many times i walk over the focus’ Veil boost, i do not get any speed stacking.

It doesn’t matter if i have 10 seconds or only 2 seconds left on my signet’s speed boost, the focus skill just doesn’t add speed to me, and i’d be LITERALLY wasting an entire offhand weapon and skill cooldown at that moment…

Is that meant to be ? or a bug?

thanks for your time.

You looked for a duplicate and didn’t find one ? There are tons.

It has technic reasons that it doesn’t stack swiftness. It’s either an intended exploit-fix or a temporary fix (since release).

Don’t expect it to be fixed for real anytime soon, just learn to live with it.

most the ones i found are just people kittening about the need for more speed on mesmer, or calling for a buff etc, or people asking for signet of inspiration to give out only speed and aegis when outside of combat etc.

so yeah, I tried looking up quickly , but usually 7 minutes of skimming through multiple threads is enough for me to start a thread about it .

that being said, thanks for the answer. i’ve been noticing non-speed-stacking for a while, i just couldnt put my finger on it till recently.

I see this all of the time on my Mesmer. It is especially annoying trying to lead a zerg in WvW and throwing down my own speed buffs then having them not stack swiftness.
