Guild Wars 2

Does not apply swiftness to an ally (or self) that already has swiftness (from other source).

working as intended.

then it should say so on the tooltip.

this is an intended band aid fix to a bug that allowed TC to stack swiftness infinitely by running back and forth through the line during the Beta period.

The skill has never been properly fixed since then.

Then again, its a very good time to fix it

I remember that bug they had with shatters stacking, so they hotfixed it by adding a short cooldown between shatters

Welcome to the club… it’s a very old “issue” that has kept being asked for a fix…. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-Bugs-33-Updated-October-22nd/4203590

The “work around” is to cast TC first, as other speed boosts will stack on top of it if it’s cast first.

Well, that’s a kittenty work around. Why not just reduce the duration? Also we don’t have that many movement skills out of combat, every class but necro and mesmer can stack swiftness. What’s the problem?
