Bump, in case some new players want in…
I just have no shame

Whitelisting the whole \bin\ folder in my antivirus worked.
It appears to be fixed now.
It’s back, I got disconnected, and logging back I’m suffering from this again.
Poor argument because other classes don’t just get free speed boosts. They have to trait for it or use a utility slot. I’m sure you use all 3 of your utility slots already. So to equip a +speed signet you’d have to “cripple” yourself by dropping a skill in your build.
Everything comes with a cost.
So? Where did I say I want extra speed for free?
On my thief I’d gladly use Shadowstep, and use it like I use Blink on Mes, but I’d have to give up movement signet (or one of the others, but I use those more often for party utility). On thief, I’m trading in-combat mobility for overall speed.
What me and the others would like, isn’t “GIMME FREE SPEEDZ”, it’s an option that doesn’t involve using focus. Keyword: OPTION.
And for the record, I do use a focus. Even though I’d prefer a pistol for the quicker burst and stun.
A 25% mov speed signet doesn’t even equal perma-swiftness. Good luck catching a perma-swift Ele or War with just a signet.
Hell, I’d settle for a 15, even 10% boost, but Anet seems to have eliminated those in favour of across-the-board 25% ones. They even gave it to Ele, who’d arguably would need it less than anyone.
Don’t you see the problem in having to make a build specifically to move faster?
Using 6 runes just to boost swiftness duration from focus is hardly optimal, when other professions run around with perma-swiftness or a plain boost without crippling themselves.
I’ve been using Sword+Pistol/Staff on a shatter build since beta, but I was struggling to find any rune set or combo that satisfied me. I was using 6xRuby Orbs, but the general utility of Air runes compensates for the loss of pure power. Not sure how I managed to never notice them.
Many thanks, and kudos.
