Quickness
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
“Skills and actions are 50% faster.— In-game description
Quickness is an effect that increases attack and action speeds by 50%. Quickness sometimes comes with a temporary drawback, such as a penalty to endurance regeneration, the inability to be healed, or an increase in damage taken while the quickness lasts.

[edit] Note
- Quickness does not stack in duration.
- Quickness will increase the speed of channeled skills (including non-combat actions, such as reviving, mining resource nodes, opening chests, building siege weapons or communing with places of power etc., if activated prior to act) in a cost of decreasing distance you travel with leap skills.
[edit] Trivia
- Prior to the 26th March 2013 update, Quickness would boost attack and action speed by 100% instead of the current 50%. As compensation, some skills had their duration increased slightly.
