Movement speed
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Movement speed refers to the distance a character travels over a period of time, relative to the ground, by using the movement keys. Characters move more slowly while strafing, backpedaling, and when in combat.
A character's movement speed can be increased or decreased in several ways. Both speed buffs and debuffs do not stack; the effect with the greatest value will be used (though some speed effects from traits do stack). For instance, having swiftness and Signet of Air active will make a character move 33% faster, not 58% faster (33% from swiftness and 25% from Signet of Air). The in-combat speed reduction stacks with movement speed debuffs.
