Movement Speed Stacking

[DrakeWurrum]

Have we gotten any information yet on how movement speed bonuses/penalties will interact?

Example:
Elementalist that traits Windborne Speed (move 15% faster with daggers) and slots Signet of Air (passively increase movement 10%).

in GW1 speed stacked up to a cap of 25%, a single speed increase can go past that tho

so maybe something like that?

[DrakeWurrum]

Hrm. If they have a cap like that, it suggests that no matter what, having both puts me to 125%. Which seriously sounds boring. (maybe that's why we have so many leap skills?)

I wonder how it would all work together if I was crippled, though...

if you had a speed increase of +15% and a second +15% you'd be at 125%, if you were crippled you'd be at 65% 130%*50%

What's the movement speed in water?

What's the movement speed in water?

Same speed (if not a little more) on land. They know no body likes going slower in water, and with their underwater combat and such, they didn't want to make it a struggle.

[DrakeWurrum]

if you had a speed increase of +15% and a second +15% you'd be at 125%, if you were crippled you'd be at 65% 130%*50%

So you're thinking boosts will be additive and penalties will be multiplicative? (Not that there's more than cripple)

Yeah, I wasn't really afraid it would be slower due to their water combat thingy.
It might actually be better to go through water! Nice.

the way i recall it working is bonuses were additive and cripple (and binding chains/pacificism) were a cut to your current movement, the most powerful only taking effect so yes

if you had a speed increase of +15% and a second +15% you'd be at 125%, if you were crippled you'd be at 65% 130%*50%

Speed cap was 33%, so if you had 2 +15% (from some magical skill?) You'd be at +30%

if you got crippled by a hex and got a 66% speed reduction, the +30% would be negated first, then it would cripple your main speed.

So you would be at -36% with 2 +15 buffs and one -66%

Reductions in Guild Wars capped at 50% speed, but if you had a skill that bypassed it would go over the cap and ignore the rest.

It works the same in Guild Wars 2.

...ok that

[Spellsword]

so maybe something like that?

IAS & IMS were both capped at 33% with the few exceptions of IMS skills such as Dash, Burning Speed, Pious Haste, etc.

50% was the absolute cap for IMS I believe


edit; didn't read far enough I was too slow.. derp

yea well its been a few years since i really had to know how speed stacking worked :|

Oh. I see.

At least then I can't get too much movespeed from my passive stuff then!

I believe it was said somewhere that effects do not stack, but durations do. So like a reapplied boon wont stack if a previous version of itself in terms of percentage stats increase or something similar, but in duration. So a 5 seconds remaining swiftness, reapplied by a 15 seconds swiftness will end up at a total of 20 seconds. Now i could be totally wrong, since i don't remember where i read that and i don't know if it was legit information to begin with

I am not talking about boons.

[Gisei]

I've been wondering about stacking speed myself. My necromancer will move quicker while using a dagger, and I'm wondering if the swift boon from Locust Swarm will boost me to 133% of my normal speed, or 133% of my increased speed.
