Repost from mega thread:

Why is it necessary for Ascended gear to have higher stats than Exotics?

This gear is meant for dungeons. In those dungeons, we all know that Anet’s method of increasing difficulty is by giving the enemies a very large amount of health and damage. So then it’s possible for them to tone down the enemy stats and make Ascended gear on par with Exotics (+Infusions for new condition type). Crisis averted.

Anet, make it happen, and save yourself a sliver of credibility.

My question is this:

Hello. I have a question regarding movement speed calculations. How does it work when a player uses multiple movement speed boosts?

For example, a thief using “Signet of Shadows” (25%) and “Rune of The Traveler” (5%) at the same time. There is also a trait which gives the ability to “Move 33% faster while in stealth”.

I’m under the impression that:

Signet + Rune = 130%
Stealth = 133%

That is only a 3% increase by using the trait (making it obsolete). Is that correct?

Thanks!
