Question about speedbuff/snare stacking. - Guild Wars Forums

Hand of Ruin · Jan 05, 2007, 11:52 AM // 11:52

Tried looking for an article on wiki but could not find one.

My question is, how do speedbuff/snares stack? Do mutliple speedbuffs stack? For instance, burning speed and sprint? If so, what is the cap?

Does being effected by a speedbuff stack against a snare? For instance, if I have dolyak up, and I use sprint, do I still move 75% slower or 50%?

Yes Speed Buffs do Stack, However they will never boost ur speed by more than 50%.

Speed Reductions can slow u to a max of 90% i believe. And Both Mix on u, so if u have +75% Speed boost, (which will results in u moveing only 50% faster) and then get a 25% reduction u will still move at 50% faster.

So in ur exmaple u will indeed just move 50% slower with Sprint and Dolyaks.

actually, speed buffs do not stack beyond at 33% increase. Individual skills, such as dash can buff your speed beyond that, but you can't use sprint + iway + windborne speed, etc to get above a 33% increase.

I'd think iway wouldn't help anyone move anything but the sword arm faster, but It's been my experience that the rest of what you say is entirely true dargon
